As someone who saw Handa-kun before reading this, what the fuck were they doing with that spin off lmao (I did like it). His character in the original series here is just so upsetting when compared to his supposed character in his youth. Like wow, he didn't grow up at all, he went all Benjamin Button and reverted back to being a child. Anyway, Barakamon is clearly a very solid work, and the only reason I dropped it is because children are so fucking annoying, fictional or otherwise.
