    I love Hiromu Arakawa's art style and storytelling so I hope her new series doesn't disappoint. Not much I can say about it for now since barely any info has been released on what the manga will be about other than it being in a high school setting. But the title "Silver Spoon" makes me think of psychic powers. It's a wild guess but it's still an idea of what the story could be about.

    Just read the first chapter.
    So far, it's nothing like FMA. It's about a boy who attends a farming boarding school. Being from a prep school, he changed schools thinking he could be at the top of his class at a farming school (though I suspect it'll probably give a different personal reason later), however he's underestimated the work. A plot point also seems to be that he has no goal or dreams for the future while everyone around him does, but he seems to get into other people's business, usually to help.
    Also, there's an Armstrong cameo lol

    I like how the manga is going right now. The setting reminds me of Moyasimon: Tales of Agriculture, which I also enjoy.

    I love how happy he looked after the girl called him a good person. Hm, possibly why he helps out everyone, to get praise like that. Oh, maybe he was also hoping to find somewhere where you could be normal not to have a dream, again possibly to some pressure back at home.

    And my guess is he didn't have a nice life back at home since he used the excuse that their school had dorms so he could get away from home. Could just be a lot of pressure though, considering he was in a prep school.

    Not much of a spoiler, but decided to hide it anyway.

    Either way, pretty funny and I would like to know what is with the spoon. And though I normally don't like reading things without a touch of something supernatural this was nice and I just might continue along with it.
