Barakamon (ばらかもん)
Arrogant calligrapher Seishuu Handa is exiled to the rural Goto Islands after publicly losing his temper, sent to develop genuine artistry and humility. Despite craving solitude for his craft, the former Tokyo perfectionist finds himself constantly invaded by frisky children, gossip-loving middle schoolers, and meddling islanders who teach him far more than calligraphy.
