Hachiken’s last-minute decision to apply to Ooezo University of Animal Husbandry has him scrambling to cram as much studying as he can into a few short months! Over the course of his Ezo Ag career, Hachiken has never been one to shy away from hard work, from organizing pizza parties to making festival preparations to starting his own business—not to mention slaving away in service of the livestock! This final push will set Hachiken and Silver Spoon on the path to a successful future!!

The discovery of a brick oven on campus prompts the only logical response from the students of Ooezo Agricultural High School: a pizza party!!! City-boy Hachiken has been nominated to oversee the process, but he quickly discovers how much work is involved in securing each and every ingredient that goes into making the perfect pizza. United by a common hunger, students from every discipline contribute the necessary flour, cheese, meat, and other toppings. Everyone is waiting expectantly-but can Hachiken deliver?!

Defying the expectations of family and teachers, Yuugo Hachiken chooses to leave the city and enroll at Ooezo Agricultural High School. Having always been at the top of his class, Yuugo assumes a rural school will be a breeze, but mucking out stables, gathering eggs, and chasing errant calves takes a lot out of him-and fills him with something he''s never experienced before. Surrounded by endless fields and fresh air, Yuugo discovers a new connection to the land and to life...Springtime begins at Ezo AG!!

With no goals of his own, Hachiken is devoted to helping his friends—especially Mikage—achieve theirs. To prepare her for the college entrance exams as promised, Hachiken swallows his pride and calls in a ringer: Tokyo U dropout and academic genius Shingo Hachiken. But collecting his brother’s old notes means returning home for the first time since he started high school...Has everything he’s learned at Ezo Ag readied him enough to face his past...?

A few weeks into his summer job at Mikage Ranch, Hachiken has proven himself a hard worker, even under the skeptical gaze of Aki''s father. His first term at Ezo AG has given him a great deal to think about-the future, the fate of Pork Bowl-but open pastures and fresh air provide a very different backdrop to his worries than his previous life in the city. Still, when he chose not to go home for summer break, Hachiken hardly expected home to come to him!

To connect hearts with partner who cannot speak...and then leap through the air to witness a view never seen before-that is what horseriding is all about...! If it''s just as a test, it''ll be fine. Except it isn''t! With his first equestrian experience happening in competition, the curtain falls on Hachiken''s debut. To face off against others is to face oneself.

By purchasing Pork Bowl, Hachiken takes a step forward in reconciling a farmer''s care and concern for livestock that will ultimately be eaten. But Pork Bowl has yielded a whole lot more than a pork bowl''s worth-or even a dozen pork bowls'' worth!-of meat, and all of Ezo Ag is more than happy to help with the surplus! Hachiken may raise a lot of tough questions, but he sure knows how to make a mean batch of bacon...

As their second year looms large, the first-years of Ezo Ag are taking a serious look at their future plans. A casual remark about starting a business gives Hachiken a spark of inspiration. He’s already passionate about helping his friends achieve their goals: Could that become his goal? With only a half-formed not-quite-an-idea, Hachiken sets off to create a business plan that will meet not just his father’s strict standards for approval, but also those of his equally fearsome consultant—Tamako!!

Funding continues to be a major obstacle as Hachiken tries to get his business up and running. Ookawa—still unemployed—has pinned all his hopes on Hachiken’s new venture, so when proposal after proposal comes back rejected, he suggests a new source of funding: good, honest hard work. Picking up whatever part-time jobs he can, Hachiken pours every ounce of energy into realizing his goal. The year seems to fly by, but when spring comes again, will his efforts finally blossom into reality?

Dairy work has been a struggle for Hachiken, but farming may be better than he thought! But real life isn''t always fun and games. There are frustrating and challenging times. Through it all, Hachiken strives to stand strong even when it seems everything is falling apart.

Thanks to Hachiken''s meticulous notes, Ezo Ag Fest has gone off without a hitch, even if Hachiken himself didn''t get to enjoy any of it. No one even saved him a slice of oven-baked pizza!! His parents'' visit to the hospital has left Hachiken doubting himself and his choice to attend Ezo Ag once again, but hearing stories of how the festival visitors left with newfound appreciation for horses and the farming community reminds Hachiken why Ezo Ag- and so many of the people there-have become so dear to him...

TREMORS OF TRUTH Eastern Pars is shaken by a great earthquake, and as Arslan and his retainers take stock of the aftermath, rumblings of another kind make their way throughout the kingdom. A set of bold proclamations have been made under Arslan’s name: The Decree to Pursue and Destroy Lusitania, and The Decree to Abolish Slavery. These decrees have made waves among the noble class of Pars, and it is now Arslan’s job to host the Parsian lords and demonstrate his value as their future leader. But before Arslan can finish his duties and move on to recapturing Ecbatana, Narsus holds a meeting to reveal the earth-shattering details of Silver Mask’s identity, and the truth will stun Arslan to his very core.
