Barakamon
On Nippon TV
A warmly comedic slice-of-life about an urban artist finding himself through rural community, art, and unexpected friendships.
After punching a famous curator in the face for criticizing his work as "textbook and lifeless," Handa Seishuu is sent to Gotō Island to calm his nerves and find new inspiration for his calligraphy. Growing up in the city all his life, though, Handa must adapt to country life while meeting an assortment of quirky people during his tenure.
