Another World In The Center of Japan! Mikura Moriya expected a quiet and peaceful life in the forest when he inherited his great-grandfather's house and enormous orchard. Someone had to keep the family business running, so he quit his job and decided to live off the land. But the house isn't in any old forest. It's deep in the Beastly Wilds, an area off-limits to most humans. For the Wilds are home to the Beastfolk—neither human nor animal, but something in between. It isn't long before Mikura meets his new neighbors and makes a pact with a girl with chipmunk ears that will change his life forever. Will Mikura get to live the slow life, or is it more trouble than it's worth?!

How To Enjoy The Slow Life At Home! Mikura is finally starting to get used to his new life in the Beastly Wilds. Things were going great with his Beastfolk neighbors—until one day, he makes a seemingly innocent comment that turns his life completely upside down! Things only get even more interesting when a visit from his parents unearths a mysterious incident from his childhood adventures in the Beastly Wilds! What secrets are the Beastly Wilds keeping and how will they change his relationship with Techi?

The Magic Of The Wilds It’s official—Mikura and Techi are engaged, and slowly but surely, the pieces of their wedding are coming into place. But some things don’t change, like their peaceful life living under one roof. Becoming more accepted by the Beastly Wilds by the day, Mikura finally has a chance to befriend other beastfolk. He also discovers one of the biggest secrets the beastfolk were hiding—the legendary Fusang trees that make up the Wilds. And of course, Mikura’s preserve obsession is only getting stronger by the day! Jam, sausages, and ninja rations are only the tip of the iceberg. With apprentice chef Kon by his side, he presses forward, enriching their lives with even more mouthwatering food!

The October sun was setting over a wild, wide waste of waving grass, growing dry and yellow in the autumn winds. The scarlet hips gleamed between the whitening blades wherever the pale pink roses of summer had shed their fragrant leaves. But now the brief Indian summer was drawing to its close, and winter was coming down upon that vast Canadian plain with rapid strides. The wailing cry of the wild geese rang through the gathering stillness. The driver of a rough Red River cart slapped the boy by his side upon the shoulder, and bade him look aloft at the swiftly-moving cloud of chattering beaks and waving wings. For a moment or two the twilight sky was darkened, and the air was filled with the restless beat of countless pinions. The flight of the wild geese to the warmer south told the same story, of approaching snow, to the bluff carter. He muttered something about finding the cows which his young companion did not understand. The boy’s eyes had travelled from the winged files of retreating geese to the vast expanse of sky and plain. The west was all aglow with myriad tints of gold and saffron and green, reflected back from many a gleaming lakelet and curving river, which shone like jewels on the broad breast of the grassy ocean. Where the dim sky-line faded into darkness the Touchwood Hills cast a blackness of shadow on the numerous thickets which fringed their sheltering slopes. Onward stole the darkness, while the prairie fires shot up in wavy lines, like giant fireworks.
