Kuma and Miyu may have moved to the comfy countryside—a sweet spot between city comforts and rugged rural life—but he’s no less determined to feed his family for a year. But when a rookie manga artist Kuma ditched for the farm comes looking for him at the office, Oshii pays the paddies a visit to try and convince Kuma to come back. The seeds of spring plant ideas in Kuma’s head, culminating in him getting his hands dirty—not just in the fields, but in the world of manga once again.
