Gin no Saji, also known as Silver Spoon, is a slice-of-life series created by Hiromu Arakawa, renowned for her work on Fullmetal Alchemist.
The manga series has sold over 12 million copies in Japan and received a nomination for the 19th annual Tezuka Osamu Culture Award. Silver Spoon is a compelling tale about finding one’s path in life and staying true to one’s beliefs, even in the face of challenges.
The series was later adapted into an anime by A-1 Pictures, known for their high-quality productions. Silver Spoon is no exception, featuring smooth animation, beautifully drawn scenery, and mouthwatering depictions of food. Even something as simple as fresh eggs straight from the hen’s nest looks incredibly appetizing.
