Handa-kun

"Handa-kun" (はんだくん) is a Japanese anime television series adapted from the manga of the same name by Satsuki Yoshino. The anime is a spin-off prequel to the series "Barakamon", focusing on the high school years of calligrapher Sei Handa, six years prior to the events of the original series. In high school, Sei Handa is perceived by his classmates as a cool and unapproachable figure, but in reality, he is incredibly negative and believes that everyone hates him. However, his exceptional calligraphy skills and aloof demeanor inadvertently make him extremely popular, leading to a series of humorous misunderstandings. The anime humorously portrays Sei Handa's various interactions with his classmates and how he misinterprets their feelings towards him. Unaware of his talent and popularity, he perceives the adoration of his classmates as bullying, leading him to distance himself from others, which results in many comedic situations. It is a comedy that explores the themes of adolescent misunderstandings and relationships.
