Notes/Review:
I liked Silver Spoon a lot! But I’m also abnormally obsessed with agriculture. (I’ve never farmed before, but I like to know where food comes from and I tend to watch a lot of food documentaries haha.) I loved how much detail there was about all kinds of farming: cheese, milk, potatoes, etc. There’s also a lot about horses and racing. Overall, it’s a very charming slice of life, wherein I got to see the joy and struggle of farming.

Side Note: I’ve recently started reading manga at the beginning of this summer, but hadn’t made posts for them yet; the posts on Yowamushi Pedal until Angel Densetsu (plus Watamote which I posted earlier because I also watched the anime) are the ones that I’ve completed since.
