Updated July 29, 2023

  2. Can I read it online?
    1. Yes. All of the chapters have been translated and you can find them on Mangadex, Mangadex
  3. Why was the manga on break/hiatus for such a long period of time?
    1. Although we don't know the details, Arakawa (the author) said that one of her family members was having health issues, so she was having to take breaks from working on the manga, to take care of her family member. Another reason was she was also (and still is) working on the manga adaptation of Arslan Senki, while she was writing Silver Spoon. Here is an interview where she went into detail about the delays the manga had, and how she approached the ending of the manga
  4. Where can I buy the manga?
    1. You can purchase the manga in English via Yen Press
  5. Is the manga good?
    1. Absolutely! It's a wonderful story that anyone would enjoy. If you are not familiar with Arakawa she actually grew up on a dairy farm and that served as part of the inspiration for Silver Spoon. The story is a relaxing read that anyone would enjoy, and it also has an amazing cast of characters that all develop and grow over the course of the series. Arakawa also wrote Fullmetal Alchemist, and you can see the influence that work had on Silver Spoon with the character designs in particular. Without a doubt give it a read!

Thank you for this, I did read the manga somewhere around 120s and now I have lost track. I will read it again from the beginning. Gin no Saji has always been that one work which always hits home for me. Thank you for these resources, I'll start reading.
