Sitara spent her youth in the service of a scholarly household, where she was treated like family—the best life a slave like her could hope for in 13th century Iran. Then the Mongol invasions ripped it all away. Her home was burnt. Her beloved mistress was killed before her eyes. And she was dragged into the strange and unknown steppes… But Sitara adapts fast. Adopting her mistresses name, “Fatima,” she has used her education to become a vital asset in the Mongol court…where she bides her time for revenge. Has the hour come at last, now that Genghis Khan has died?

After losing her country and mistress in the invasion of the Mongol empire, Fatima has leveraged her education to become a lady-in-waiting to Sorghaghtani Beki in the Mongols' imperial court. Dispatched to infiltrate a rival court as her new mistress's spy, Fatima encounters Töregene, one of the wives of emperor Ögedei Khaan. The two women, bound together by a shared desire for revenge against the Mongols, vow to work together. Before long, they'll call a storm that radically shifts the power balance of the mightiest empire in the world...

Year’s end is traditionally the time when students return home to ring in the new year with their families—the very last thing Hachiken wants to do! He’ll be the only one staying in the dorms, but after all, on a farm, someone always has to stick around to care for the animals. Little does he know that when the students are away, the teachers have their own holiday tradition: a year-end feast of the bounties of Ezo Ag! Happy New Year, indeed!!

As their second year looms large, the first-years of Ezo Ag are taking a serious look at their future plans. A casual remark about starting a business gives Hachiken a spark of inspiration. He’s already passionate about helping his friends achieve their goals: Could that become his goal? With only a half-formed not-quite-an-idea, Hachiken sets off to create a business plan that will meet not just his father’s strict standards for approval, but also those of his equally fearsome consultant—Tamako!!

Funding continues to be a major obstacle as Hachiken tries to get his business up and running. Ookawa—still unemployed—has pinned all his hopes on Hachiken’s new venture, so when proposal after proposal comes back rejected, he suggests a new source of funding: good, honest hard work. Picking up whatever part-time jobs he can, Hachiken pours every ounce of energy into realizing his goal. The year seems to fly by, but when spring comes again, will his efforts finally blossom into reality?

As Silver Spoon prepares for its official launch, Hachiken has decided to pay homage to the event that first sparked his passion for bringing people together and showcasing their individual efforts—by throw-ing a massive pizza party! Unlike that memorable first-year food fest, however, the tasters’ reactions will be crucial to creating the most delectable German-style pizza—and setting Silver Spoon on the path to success!

November 30 looms large on the horizon—a day that will determine the path of Hachiken’s and Mikage’s futures! With their pasture-raised pork and meticulously selected ingredients, Silver Spoon is ready for their public pizza debut!

Meanwhile, Mikage’s preparations (and nerves!) are tested to their limits as she sits for the college entrance exam. If only all the questions could be about horses!!

Hachiken’s last-minute decision to apply to Ooezo University of Animal Husbandry has him scrambling to cram as much studying as he can into a few short months! Over the course of his Ezo Ag career, Hachiken has never been one to shy away from hard work, from organizing pizza parties to making festival preparations to starting his own business—not to mention slaving away in service of the livestock! This final push will set Hachiken and Silver Spoon on the path to a successful future!!

They’re so goofy, they’re cool. Enter: a group of cool guys who seem like they’ve got that unapproachable swag. But look closer and you’ll find a bunch of dorks who’ve gotten the act down pat. So sit back, grab some popcorn, and enjoy watching these clumsy dudes try to look cool all day, every day.

The second Ezo Ag cleanup of the year yields a surprise even greater than the first! Once again, Hachiken makes the find that has the whole school talking-and fawning-when he uncovers an abandoned puppy in a rubbish pile. After a bath and blow-dry, the pup takes up residence in the stables as the unofficial mascot of the Equestrian Club. But with all the attention, the new "Vice Prez" threatens to usurp the authority of his master! And no one hates losing more than Hachiken!!

To connect hearts with partner who cannot speak...and then leap through the air to witness a view never seen before-that is what horseriding is all about...! If it's just as a test, it'll be fine. Except it isn't! With his first equestrian experience happening in competition, the curtain falls on Hachiken's debut. To face off against others is to face oneself.

June 1983. The tragedy is finally over—at least, it was supposed to be. Years later, Rika meets up with her old friends for a club reunion…then once more awakens in June of 1983 with no memory of why she has returned. And now that Hanyu is out of the picture, Rika must face the tragedy alone…

The discovery of a brick oven on campus prompts the only logical response from the students of Ooezo Agricultural High School: a pizza party!!! City-boy Hachiken has been nominated to oversee the process, but he quickly discovers how much work is involved in securing each and every ingredient that goes into making the perfect pizza. United by a common hunger, students from every discipline contribute the necessary flour, cheese, meat, and other toppings. Everyone is waiting expectantly-but can Hachiken deliver?!

A few weeks into his summer job at Mikage Ranch, Hachiken has proven himself a hard worker, even under the skeptical gaze of Aki's father. His first term at Ezo AG has given him a great deal to think about-the future, the fate of Pork Bowl-but open pastures and fresh air provide a very different backdrop to his worries than his previous life in the city. Still, when he chose not to go home for summer break, Hachiken hardly expected home to come to him!

By purchasing Pork Bowl, Hachiken takes a step forward in reconciling a farmer's care and concern for livestock that will ultimately be eaten. But Pork Bowl has yielded a whole lot more than a pork bowl's worth-or even a dozen pork bowls' worth!-of meat, and all of Ezo Ag is more than happy to help with the surplus! Hachiken may raise a lot of tough questions, but he sure knows how to make a mean batch of bacon...

Reiko experiences within her mind the end of a summer past, and now sees what really happened between Kudou and Kujirai B.

When a new teacher comes to Hyakki Academy and shows him up in every way possible, Haruaki’s only recourse is a one-way trip under his desk to hide from the cruel world! But there’s more to this perfect professor than meets the eye, and while most of the students are impressed, Sano seems to see right through him…

Hyakki Academy’s Night Parade Culture Festival has begun, and Haruaki’s kicking things off by issuing the students and teachers a challenge-anyone who doesn’t escape from his maze within thirty minutes will be forced to wear a sailor uniform for the rest of the day, and he’s taking the competition very seriously! But when Haruaki later heads to the school’s basement, he finds himself in another festival entirely...one run by the dead! Will our resident scaredy-cat make it back to the land of the living, or will he be trapped in the underworld for all eternity?

Expecting some summertime fun with friends, Haruaki heads to Rintarou’s house, where his hopes are soon dashed. He learns about the darkness Rintarou’s been living with for years, and before long, he is forced to confront it himself... In the midst of such danger, does Haruaki have what it takes to prevail, or will he need a few more sailor uniforms to pull through?

It’s Uka’s first high school camping trip—and with that, her first overnight stay with Kai! When the two end up alone at night, Uka’s heart races at light speed as she starts to have feelings she’s never experienced before!
