Love Kome: We Love Rice

Synopsis of Love Kome: We Love Rice

The project anthropomorphizes rice (kome in Japanese) into schoolboys. At the Kokuritsu Inaho Academy ("Rice Ear Academy," a wordplay on national schools), five new rice-inspired students attempt to supplant bread as the popular grain at the school. The new students form the "Love Rice" unit and challenge themselves to perform at the "Harvest Show" to show the delicious appeal of rice grains. The "heartwarming komedy with laughs and passion" promises to let audiences rediscover the virtues of rice ("Japans soul food").
