Love Kome: We Love Rice
The "heartwarming 'kome'dy with laughs and passion" promises to let audiences rediscover the virtues of rice ("Japan's soul food"). It follows five handsome rice-inspired boys as they shine at the "Harvest Show" live event at the Kokuritsu Inahou Gakuen ("Rice Ear Academy," a wordplay on national schools).
