Silver Spoon quote

[meteordust]

So I've been doing some rereading of Silver Spoon, and discovered a bonus artwork in the final volume. It's a sketch labelled "The Equestrian Club Underclassman", the incredibly earnest first year student who joins the club in the later volumes. The author's note says:

When I was thinking about what to name this character, I got a lot of reader letters saying, "Me too! I was also a sheep who enrolled in farm school after reading this manga! I also went the equestrian club way, and people warned me I didn't know what I was getting into... But I'm doing my best!!"

And I thought, "Ah, I'm not going to name her."

This character is you, doing your best, without worrying about what other people say!!

I think my heart just grew three sizes. <3
