Sick of his job and the city, Yohei “Kuma” Sakuma has a grand plan—to start anew in the countryside and live off the land. Thing is, he hasn't told his wife yet, nor does he know the first thing about growing rice. Between crooked houses, swarms of bugs, and grueling work under the sun, the city slicker Kuma and his wife Miyu get a crash course in country life. But at the end of the day, with beer in hand as they take in the sights, they begin to understand that country life can be real hard, but real good.
Kuma’s rice is getting big, but it’s far too soon to celebrate. What are those bugs crawling all over his crops? Is that a typhoon on the way? When disaster strikes, not only are everyone’s crops in danger, but their humble houses, too. The countryside isn’t for everyone, and when the going gets tough, it might just be time to throw in the towel and return to the city.
