Cliffhangers...WWWHHHYYY!!!!

Spoiler for Autumn - 22:

yuzen003 · 2012-09-27, 20:27

It was hinted that he had family issues but after chapter 23, it seems clear that those issues revolve around his dad. His father seems to be a really antagonistic person, it must be hard to have any self esteem dealing with a parent like that.

evil|plushie · 2012-09-27, 22:33

His dad is HUGE. Compared to hachiken anyway.

And I suspect it's not that his dad is antagonistic but he's more of a strict asian parent stereotype

yuzen003 · 2012-09-28, 01:12

But his parenting caused one son to drop out of school and become a temporary laborer who can't keep a job and the other to feel compelled to go to a boarding school just to escape the pressure. He doesn't seem to be learning that his child rearing style is causing his kids to crack.

kuroishinigami · 2012-09-28, 01:18

Hachiken pressured himself until he cracks. His father said it himself that the only reason he put Hachiken in good school is just because Hachiken seems to enjoy studying, and I don't think it's wrong for a parent to expecting his son to be the best in something that said son likes to do. I guess the only mistake of his dad is he's too stern in appearance and lack of good father-son communication skill.

evil|plushie · 2012-09-28, 02:10

His first child basically did everything right, got into the right schools and everything and then CHOSE to drop out himself. Basically nothing the dad can do about that, especially since he seems old enough to be legally considered an adult. It's not even like he needed to become a temp laborer since I think he was studying quite well to become a doctor? Just that he's like those kind of people who decide to run away and join the circus.

Hachiken did face a lot of additional pressure cause of how successful his brother was though

kuroishinigami · 2012-09-28, 02:47

Hachiken cracking was partly his own fault to be honest. Although he doesn't look like it, Hachiken is too perfectionist and super-competitive, which leads him to add additional pressure to himself.

yuzen003 · 2012-09-28, 09:25

Shingo explicitly told their dad he dropped out of Tokyo U to make him mad and he only went there because he was pressured to make their dad look good.

Yugo probably has issues from an overbearing father and genius older brother. Growing up he was always going to be comparing himself to someone better in his brother and his dad doesn't seem to be a pillar of support (he seems more likely to demean him for his failures then to give him a helping hand). It is true he's too perfectionist and super-competitive, but at Yezo Yugo he is making strides towards correcting those problems (he had to accept there were people who were better then him in every subject even though he had the best overall test score) and has been expanding his limits (he is physically stronger, finds studying easier, finds new skills/interests he possesses, etc).

From what I understand high school in Japan is like college in the USA and is where you need to decide what your career path is going to be. Yugo is growing as a person and figuring out what he wants to do in life while his dad wants to shove him into the pigeon hole of going to the a good school and justifying it as that is what Yugo was like as a little kid. Shingo was pushed into going to all the right schools when he never found any fulfillment in doing so and he never had the chance to expand his horizons. That's probably why he is so dead set on becoming a ramen chef, he finds fulfillment in that dream even though he has absolutely no aptitude for it and was already pretty much fired from that job.

With the milk incident Yugo started to experience that people will still value him even when he makes a huge mistake, something he was unlikely to learn at home.

It's official, Silver Spoon will be released in France starting the 02/14/2013 and the publisher is Kurokawa.

The French title is "Silver Spoon ~ La cuillière d'argent ~"

evil|plushie · 2013-01-18, 01:28

Man, an almost-confession. And from the girl no less.

mit7059 · 2013-03-20, 09:56

Chapter 69 available! Lots of progress for Aki and possibly the best panel of the manga, or maybe even the best I've seen in a long time

Spoiler for Frame from ch.69:

Bwahahhahahhaha
Awesome.

jvcscasio · 2013-03-20, 11:39

Huahuahuahuahua

Love this new chapter! Can't wait to see it animated!

FlareKnight · 2013-03-20, 13:00

That chapter really was a lot of fun

Spoiler for Chapter 69:

Duo Maxwell · 2013-03-29, 05:17

Chapter 70 is out.

You know, I think Hachiken could be a great teacher.

That's a pretty good observation actually; could be a pretty feasible ending for the series.

Mad Pierrot · 2013-05-16, 16:58

Hachiken didn't even give two thoughts to the idea of being a teacher yet. Still what would he teach?

amasposu · 2013-08-21, 16:09

I spent the last two days reading the manga. I finally caught up. Watching the anime really motivated me to read the manga. :D

Wow, Tamako's brother is such a great senpai.

This is a wonderful story which deserves much more notice. It has two separate forums, neither of which receive any appreciable traffic. Why?

One uses the Japanese name "Gin no Saji" which I have never seen used anyplace else. The other is misspelled "Silvver Spoon" which makes it hard even to search for.

MODS: Can these situation be fixed? The anime forum uses both names "Gin no Saji/Silver Spoon". Can these forums perhaps be merged or at least "Silver Spoon" added to the names?

And Ayame, way to break the mood...though perhaps it's for the better, I guess. And Yugo's mortified about his visitor at the hospital. Must have ran out of bacon...

FlareKnight User of the "Fast Draw" Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Canada	That chapter really was a lot of fun . Spoiler for Chapter 69: This went a whole lot better than I expected. The first pages was almost nervous to see how badly this would all turn out. In the end it went nicely. Obviously family surprised to really hear Aki's thoughts on her future and situation. Everyone had just lived with assumptions and Aki herself was always too scared to fully express herself. So this was kind of a waking up moment for everyone. Hachiken was great as well. Supported when was needed, but didn't take over the situation. Gave Aki her chance to state what she wanted to do. Of course still Hachiken did make all this happen. Took on a lot in helping to bring up Aki's scores to where they need to be. But made sense since he did push for her to aim for her dreams. Best line by far though was the whole "I will take full responsibility!" That just lead to pure hilarity since it did give that initial impression of "I will take Aki as my wife!" Not surprised the father was ready to go after him with the table . Though really we all know it's going that way anyways. It was a good chapter. Step by step they worked out what Aki wanted to do and how to get her there. I'm impressed with her family, they didn't pressure her about taking up the family business no matter what. They just decided to talk it through and support her. __________________ Anime-Evo
