There's quite a lot of new experience for Hachiken in this episode and the best one is his realization when he ate the deer he processed himself. The relationship between Hachiken and his parents is quite intriguing, this is the second long break where he decided not to go home. It's quite interesting seeing the different situation of Mikage and Ichiro with their family.

This is a heavy, introspective episode. By taking Hachiken to the Ban’ei races, the show draws a parallel between the massive draft horses and Hachiken’s own life. Watching the losing horse struggle to the finish line serves as a gut punch realization for him.

A bit late to mention, but if you’re vegetarian, this anime might be hard to watch. I’m also sensitive about animals, so this episode hit pretty heavy. Still, there’s a lot to learn here. Hachiken’s growth stands out, and he’s getting closer to his friends and opening up more.

Life and death hit hard through farming responsibility.
This episode shifts the series into something unforgettable. A solid 9.5/10

Now things get more real—Hachiken starts questioning deeper stuff about farming and life choices. It’s still calm on the surface, but there’s emotional weight building. Slightly slow, but meaningful 👀

The culture shock continues as Hachiken visits the Mikage farm, realizing that "family business" means everyone—including the elderly—works until they drop. The introduction of Aki’s intimidating but hardworking family adds great depth to her character.

EPISODE CONTEXT

Picking up directly from Hachiken's deliberate choice to avoid going home for summer break, this episode marks the emotional and thematic midpoint of the season by placing him squarely in the environment that's been reshaping his worldview. His time at the Mikage farm deepens his connection to the agricultural community and sets the foundation for the personal challenges and growth that will define the season's back half. It's a transitional episode that trades school-life structure for something more intimate, positioning Hachiken for harder questions about his future.
