If this had not been written by the mangaka of Full Metal Alchemist, who therefore had a blank check to do whatever he damn well pleased, I bet it would never have seen release. Which would have been a pity because it's great.

Well, SHE (the mangaka) was born in a farm after all :)
And farmer myself, except the obvious japanese specificity, this manga is damn right on so many points...

@Tonnes it's a joint release with jaimini's box and they don't allow uploading their works (even if it's a joint release) to mangadex.

Komaba's debt arc is annoying in that it doesn't address the root cause: The Capitalist paradigm of agriculture...
There is so much that can be said about this but much of it has been said better elsewhere, like here:

Code:

Hope Japan can produce a permaculture manga to spread the message...

@topikt: I think you are simultaneously too knowledgeable and too naive. On one hand, hardly anyone involved in agriculture or manga-writing is aware that many of their problems are caused by capitalism, so you can't expect them to go around writing manga about it. On the other, if someone did do you really think it would get published in some major mainstream Japanese magazine? If the manga you imagine were written, we wouldn't be reading it.
(As to permaculture, I think it's strategically a dead end--nothing about any so-called permaculture I've seen advocated for seems culturally sustainable at all. People would get bored, try something more dynamic, that something would take over, permaculture gone. If you want change, it has to be to something most people would find better and more desirable than the status quo, something that can eat current deracinated capitalist culture; permaculture generally represents a step down for most people, so it's out.)

These new chapters are reminding me how much I absolutely adore this series. Thanks, y'all.

Review: A "slice of culture" series with the touch of an experienced author who is good characters. The series is about agricultural lifestyle, which is far more interesting than it sounds. The author also chooses to progress time realistically, meaning the characters grow and graduate.

@Purplelibraryguy basically this, never expect manga to have even decent economic commentary. It can do emotions and philosophy well, but japan isnt a place you should expect good discussion of economic systems to come out of

Yeah fucking smart autor, start a new series before being even close to finishing the old one.
