Farming Life in Another World

Hiraku dies after a serious illness and is offered a second life by a deity who restores his youth and vigor, then lets him pick where to go next. Instead of choosing glory or power, he asks for a peaceful fantasy world and a miraculous farming tool that can dig, chop, and plow with ease. The series follows his calm days cultivating land, raising crops, and building friendships with locals and fellow adventurers who drop by. Episodes lean into slow rhythms, everyday problems, and small victories as Hiraku turns ordinary chores into a new kind of adventure, all told with light humor and gentle worldbuilding.

Released in 2023, the TV anime was created by Touko Machida. The voice cast includes Atsushi Abe as Machio Hiraku, Shino Shimoji as Rurushi Ru, Aya Suzaki as Tia, Lynn as Ria, and Yukiyo Fujii as Ann, bringing the characters to life with warm performances.
