What Is “A Lazy Farmer in Another World”? (Beginner-Friendly Overview)
Based on the light novel by Kinosuke Naito, published by KADOKAWA, A Lazy Farmer in Another World tells the story of Hiraku Machio, a young man who dies after years of overwork and illness in modern Japan.
Reincarnated into another world by the grace of God, Hiraku is given a “universal farming tool” and a peaceful mission: live freely and cultivate the land. What begins as a solitary farm deep in the forest gradually grows into a thriving community known as Big Tree Village (Taiju Village).
Along the way, Hiraku befriends a colorful cast of companions, including:
- Vampires
- Elves
- Angels
- Beastmen
Rather than focusing on intense battles, the series emphasizes slow life, food, friendship, village-building, and gentle comedy, making it ideal for viewers who enjoy relaxing fantasy stories.
