description Barakamon Overview
Seishuu Handa is an up-and-coming calligrapher: young, handsome, talented, and unfortunately, a narcissist to boot. When a veteran labels his award-winning piece as "unoriginal," Seishuu quickly loses his cool with severe repercussions. As punishment, and also in order to aid him in self-reflection, Seishuu's father exiles him to the Goto Islands, far from the comfortable Tokyo lifestyle the temperamental artist is used to. Now thrown into a rural setting, Seishuu must attempt to find new inspiration and develop his own unique art style—that is, if boisterous children (headed by the frisky Naru Kotoishi), fujoshi middle schoolers, and energetic old men stop barging into his house!

help Barakamon FAQ
Why does Seishuu Handa get sent to the Goto Islands in Barakamon?
Handa punches an elderly calligraphy director after being told his prize-winning work is unoriginal. His father sends him to the Goto Islands near Kyushu so he can cool down and develop a less rigid style.
Is Naru Kotoishi the main reason Barakamon feels different from Handa-kun?
Yes. Barakamon is built around Handa's life with Naru and the island villagers, while Handa-kun is a school prequel about his misunderstood high-school reputation.
How many episodes does the Barakamon anime have?
The Barakamon TV anime has 12 episodes. It aired in 2014 and was produced by Kinema Citrus, the studio also known for Made in Abyss.
Does Barakamon finish the whole manga story?
No. The anime adapts the early part of Satsuki Yoshino's manga and ends as a satisfying slice-of-life season rather than a full adaptation. The manga eventually ran to 19 volumes.
