Silver Spoon - Season 1 (2013)

The vast Ooezo Agricultural High School (aka Ezonoo) is home to many animals such as cows, pigs, and horses. Yuugo is a student there who has ostensibly chosen to enter the school because it is a boarding school. During the campus orientation tour, he becomes lost in the woods after chasing a calf on the loose. Just as panic sets in, he is accosted by a mysterious figure...

Ezonoo requires its students to join a sports club. Yuugo reluctantly begins to look for a club and checks out the equestrian club, where his classmate, Aki, is also a member. Yuugo decides to join the club, thinking it'd make his life easier if he didn't have to use his own two legs.

Yuugo is assigned to raise a litter of piglets for a practicum. He sees himself in a tiny piglet that has come last in the litter's race for survival of the fittest. Despite learning that the piglet's destined to become pork, he ends up giving the piglet a name.

A brick oven has been found in a pile of garbage during a campus cleanup session. This discovery leads to Yuugo being tasked with a pizza making project by his classmates. Learning that many of them have no access to pizza delivery, Yuugo is unable to turn down their request, even though he has no experience.

"It will come tonight." A certain rumor, obtained by Haijime from a supposedly trustworthy source, circulates among the students. The target will appear at 9PM at a certain location. However, during that time, students are prohibited from leaving the dorm, and violators will be punished with bathroom cleaning duty. But that does not deter the determined men from fighting for their honor! And now, it is time to execute their escape plan...

Yuugo learns that he cannot stay at the dorm over summer break due to renovations. As he dreads returning to his family, Aki invites him to stay with her family if he has nowhere to go. Yuugo decides to work part-time on Aki's family farm.

Yuugo and Aki decide to take a break from farm work by visiting Tamako's enormous Giga Farm. Driven along an endless road, they eventually see the Giga Farm sign. Yuugo is about to see a farm far more vast than he'd ever imagined.

Yuugo has gotten the hang of farm work, and he is now pretty efficient. One day, he drinks raw milk after Aki's grandfather tells him about it. Its heavenly taste is enough to make him prostrate himself in appreciation.

Yuugo finishes his gig with Aki's family and returns to the dorm. He goes to visit Pork Bowl for the first time in a while, and finds him all fat and grown up into a respectable pig. But it also reminds Yuugo of Pork Bowl's imminent departure...

Upon being told that Pork Bowl will be sent off the following day, Yuugo proposes to buy Pork Bowl after he has been processed into meat. Ichiko accepts Yuugo's purchase offer. A few days later, Pork Bowl's meat arrives...

The bacon Yuugo prepared with Pork Bowl’s meat becomes a fad among the students and it does not take long for it to run out. As Ichiro plays in the local Baseball team aiming for the nationals, his friends come to the stadium to cheer for him…
