Nobody's going to tell you this exists. A three-minute special about two sisters running a rice paddy sounds like filler, like the thing that plays before the real show starts. Watch it anyway. The whole thing is just two girls tending soil, talking to friends, living a life that costs nothing and asks for nothing. That quietness is the point. You don't need spectacle to feel like you're sitting in the sun with people who matter.

Hikari and Hikaru Koshino are sisters who look after the rice paddy their parents passed down to them. Together they raise rice and spend time with friends from around the area. This comedy special is a three-minute promotional short labeled Episode 0, adapted from Kagura Minori's slice-of-life web manga. It was made to advertise the first printed volume of the manga, released on August 12, 2010. The short was screened at bookstores, anime shops and the manga's official site, and it was also broadcast as part of an October 7 special on Animax satellite TV.
