Synopsis
This series 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 replace bread as the favored grain at the school. These new students form the "Love Rice" unit and take on the challenge of performing at the "Harvest Show" to demonstrate the delicious appeal of rice grains. The "heartwarming 'kome'dy with laughs and passion" aims to let audiences rediscover the virtues of rice ("Japan's soul food").
