May 30, 2020The pacing of this story continues to be methodical, and yet each volume contains a lot of story elements. Hachiken's friends continue to warn him not to get attached to the animals he's helping to raise, but this is a lesson that Hachiken is learning very slowly. This reflects how difficult it is for anyone coming into the farming industry, as Hachiken is, rather than being raised in that culture from childhood. There is a struggle of attachment to animals, and balancing the care to remembering their ultimate purpose. Secondarily, there is a lot of conversation within Hachiken and with his friends about having dreams and direction for their lives. High school is a time where students are often pressured to decide on future aspirations, and Hachiken is perfectly reflecting the struggles many of our students face when planning their futures.
