Hyakusho Kizoku Season 2 Unveils New PV Trailer

A new PV trailer has been revealed for the upcoming second season of Hyakusho Kizoku-the farmer’s days TV anime series. The short series will begin airing in Japan on October 4, 2024. 

The 1-minute trailer teases the return of Fullmetal Alchemist manga artist and former farm hand Hiromu Arakawa, and previews the main ending theme “Choaizoku” by Sanetii

The first season is streaming on YouTube with multiple subtitle languages. 

Yutaro Sawada (Inui-san!) directed season one, with Ayane Matsumoto (Bocchi the Rock! Ending 3 animator) as character designer, animation director, and animator. Precious tone was the music composer and Ari is credited with creating the background drawings. Pie in the sky was in charge of the animation production for the first season and will once again work on the second season. 

Meanwhile, the short anime’s main voice cast includes:

  • • Mutsumi Tamura as Hiromu Arakawa
  • • Mariko Honda as Ishii
  • • Shigeru Chiba as Oyaji-dono
  • • Kujira as Okan

The anime is based on Arakawa’s autobiographical farming essay manga, which follows her seven years as a farmer in Hokkaido prior to becoming an established manga artist. 

Arakawa’s manga has been serialized in Shinshokan’s Wings magazine since July 28, 2009. It ran in Un Poco from December 28, 2006 to March 28, 2009, before the magazine stopped publication. The series is published under the Wings Comics label and has released eight tankobon volumes as of December 2023. The manga was digitally published in English by the defunct JManga service in 2012.

Japan Media Arts Festival describes Hyakusho Kizoku as: 

Before becoming a manga artist, Arakawa Hiromu spent seven years working as a farmer in Hokkaido. Well acquainted with the many emotions that are part and parcel of agricultural work, she captures the harsh realities of Japanese dairy farming while also shedding light on this tough and powerful way of life in a series of side-splitting episodes. Known for numerous works in which she celebrates the joys of life, in this essay-style comic Arakawa reveals her own roots and little-known truths about farming life.
