Fullmetal Alchemist creator draws story of boy's life in agricultural school
2013's seventh issue of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine is announcing next month that Hiromu Arakawa's Silver Spoon manga is being adapted into a television anime. Arakawa launched this manga about a boy's life in an agricultural school last year, after finishing Fullmetal Alchemist the year before.
In its report on this year's Manga Taisho (Cartoon Grand Prize) winner, Media Factory's Da Vinci magazine had said that the manga "seems to have anime adaptation plans" like several previous winners have had. Da Vinci noted that all of the previous winners — 2008's Gaku - Minna no Yama, 2009's Chihayafuru, 2010's Thermae Romae, and 2011's March comes in like a lion — all received major boosts after their wins.
