It's been two years since I moved to this village. I used to live in Tokyo, but then all of a sudden my dad decided he wanted to be a farmer in the country! Join me on this close-up look at the problems of modern farmers and people who decide to live alongside nature! From Manga Helpers

Tokyo, 1912. The closed world of the ancient aristocracy is being breached for the first time by outsiders - rich provincial families, a new and powerful political and social elite. Kiyoaki has been raised among the elegant Ayakura family - members of the waning aristocracy - but he is not one of them. Coming of age, he is caught up in the tensions between the old and the new, and his feelings for the exquisite, spirited Satoko, observed from the sidelines by his devoted friend Honda. When Satoko is engaged to a royal prince, Kiyoaki realises the magnitude of his passion. (Source: Random House)

Matagi (traditional winter hunters of the Touhoku region of northern Japan) hunted animals deep in the Ou Mountains. They used ancestral methods to hunt down bears. One of the Matagi men is Sanshiro.

The Touhoku region, where the strong will of human beings and the harshness of nature compete. Gunshots now endlessly echo in the mountains of Ou. They are a group of hunters called "Matagi" who use guns and kill their prey with deep knowledge and skill. Nature is an enemy and a unique friend to these people who live with the depressing seasons. The stories told through their eyes are full of the abundant scent of Yamano. There is a lineup of all kinds of characters, such as the young Matagi man Sanshiro, who is known as "Wild Strawberry Drop", and Sarumaru, a master of rapid fire with contraindications.
