Week 12: Silver Spoon
The story takes place in an agricultural school where people are very familiar with livestock. Hachiken has a strong relationship he had with this pig named Katsudon every since it was a baby. He raised it and cared for it as it was his friend. But eventually, he had to give Katsudon away and bought his meat, and made a pork barbeque. He was sad and did not take it for granted, as he appreciated more than anyone else. And eventually, Hachiken gave everyone a wake-up call that livestock is not just animals but their friend who gives you life. Animals are cherished and appreciated, giving them the rights that they deserve. This anime gives a really strong message that animals give us food on the table and we should be more appreciated for them than ourselves who work for the food. It truly makes me think how much we are not thankful enough for the sacrifices these animals make and I believe every animal needs to live a happy fulfilling life because they deserve it more than we do.
I like this comic and your art stye. I can relate to this so much because I remember when I moved from the England to Sarasota, it was hard for me to make friends because everyone in school knew each other since they were kids. I was often alone and bullied because I was an immigrant so I was very introverted until I went to Ringling. And I felt like once I got to Ringling I made many friends and I can easily socialize with people because I share common things with them.
