Week 12: Contemporary manga

Silver Spoon (Title) - MangaDex
The link to read the manga wasn't working and I couldn't find anything on my own either so I'll just talk about the summary. A teen kid looks for a change of life by applying to an agriculture high school in the country. Since he's so smart, he thinks they will be a walk in the part, but instead got a rude awakening at four in the morning. Over time he starts to learn the way of the agriculture and country folks do things around there. Even its comical, the teen learns real hardship and teamwork while being at the high school and his mind is more open than before.

I only checked out the first chapter, but if I were to continue with this series, I rather see it in motion because it would be more impactful and could get an, even more, an understanding of certain scenes.

If you are referring to the question they asked: "do you believe in magic?" I didn't aspect the first reading to be short, but I answered the question in my head and I said, "Yes I do". The connections I made for the story are that the really quiet girl at school is struggling financially and that's why her stockings are ripped and her stomach is empty most of the time. Honestly, I like the medium a lot. When that one weird, smart kid came to the class I couldn't help but laugh because his head is so irregular shaped. And then when he actually popped off the pages just to get a glance at the girl, I can tell he's gonna be my favorite character if I can continue read more. I've read webtoons stories before and I think Annarasumanara  fits well in an online environment because at least for me, it's easier to read and its flows better.
