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.
