Handa-kun

Before he was the calligraphy master everyone admired, Seishuu Handa was just a high school student—albeit one with an already legendary reputation. This comedic prequel dives into the daily life of the stoic and perpetually misunderstood teenager, whose every action, no matter how mundane, is misinterpreted by his adoring (and often misguided) classmates as an act of profound coolness. Witness the hilarious trials of a young man desperate for a normal existence, constantly battling against the bizarre cult of personality that has sprung up around him. From accidental acts of heroism to unintentional displays of artistic genius, Handa-kun’s attempts to simply blend in only serve to further solidify his iconic status in this lighthearted exploration of perception versus reality.
