A Slow Life in the Countryside

Reborn into the present day with faint memories of a past life, Sugiyama Sora had always dreamed of leading a peaceful, slow-paced existence in the countryside. Now, that dream was finally within reach.

Due to his frail health, he was sent to recuperate at his mother’s family home in a quiet rural village. It was the perfect opportunity—or so he thought. Yet, as he settled in, something felt off. This wasn’t quite the countryside he had envisioned… No, it was more than just “not quite.” It was completely different.

Sora had imagined a life of serenity, where time moved at a gentle pace and the days drifted by in peaceful monotony. However, reality had other plans. The village, with its traditions and way of life, wasn’t exactly the idyllic retreat he had expected. And those lingering memories from his past life? They only served to weigh him down, binding him to outdated notions that no longer fit this world. If anything, he wanted to cast them aside and start anew.

This is the story of a young man who, despite his mostly useless knowledge from a past existence, strives to embrace the slow life he has always longed for. In this small countryside village, he seeks to blend in, to live simply, and to find a place where he truly belongs.

A gentle, easygoing tale of rural life, where nothing extraordinary happens—at least, that’s what Sora had hoped for.

Relax and enjoy this laid-back journey.
