If you loved the slice-of-life comedy anime Barakamon and loved how the young and handsome Seishu Handa struggled to get a grip on his life then you are absolutely going to fall in love with its spin-off series “Handa-Kun”.
Handa-Kun as the name suggests is the sequel to the famous anime Barakamon and is based on the life of the son of Handa Seishu named Handa Sei. The story showcases the troubled life of the young Handa Sei, who is not only a very proficient calligrapher like his father but also is good-looking and charming like him.
However, the one thing that the young Handa-Kun always struggles with, is how much he’s hated by other people! At least that’s what he thinks. In a weird twist of events, the young Handa Sei is almost absolutely convinced that everyone in his high school hates him. However, the truth is quite opposite, as a matter of fact, the young high schooler not only has his own fan club but almost everyone in his high-school revers him and treats him like a celebrity, but just like his father, Sei has kind of a weak mentality, not to mention that all the crazy coincidental events do not help his case.
Therefore, every time a mob of fangirls surrounds him, Sei assumes they’re there to hurt him because they “hate” him, every time anyone compliments him he assumes that they’re “belittling him and making fun of him”. Will Handa Sei Ever be able to get over this troubling attitude? Make sure to watch the entire series and find out!
