Silver Spoon, Vol. 5

The second Ezo Ag cleanup of the year yields a surprise even greater than the first! Once again, Hachiken makes the find that has the whole school talking-and fawning-when he uncovers an abandoned puppy in a rubbish pile. After a bath and blow-dry, the pup takes up residence in the stables as the unofficial mascot of the Equestrian Club. But with all the attention, the new "Vice Prez" threatens to usurp the authority of his master! And no one hates losing more than Hachiken!!
