The official website for the anime TV adaptation of Hiromu Arakawa's autobiographical manga "Hyakushō Kizoku" (The Peasant Noble) has announced the cast, staff, theme song performer, new visuals, and the premiere date for the series. The announcement that the series is set to air on Tokyo MX on July 7 has raised high expectations among fans of Arakawa's work.
The Hyakushō Kizoku anime adaptation features a star-studded cast, including Mutsumi Tamura as Hiromu Arakawa, Mariko Honda as Ishii-san, Shigeru Chiba as Oyaji-dono, and Kujira as Okan. Yūtarō Sawada directs the anime at Pie in the sky, also handling scriptwriting and serving as line director. Aayne Matsumoto is in charge of character design, acting as animation director and animator. Ari handles background art, while Minori Yamada is responsible for the ending animation. Precious Tone composes the music, and the Central Union of Agricultural Cooperatives oversees the agricultural aspects of the series. FRAM will perform the ending theme song for the anime.
Hyakushō Kizoku chronicles seven years of Arakawa's life as a farmer in Hokkaido before she became a manga creator. This experience ultimately influenced her work on Silver Spoon, which revolves around students at an agricultural school. Arakawa, best known for works like Fullmetal Alchemist, The Heroic Legend of Arslan, and Daemons of the Shadow Realm, serialized the manga in Shinshokan's Unpoko magazine in 2006 before moving to Shinshokan's Wings magazine in 2009 after Unpoko ceased publication. The manga is still ongoing irregularly, with the seventh compiled volume released in October 2021.
