Synopsis

Seishuu Handa is an up-and-coming calligrapher: young, handsome, talented, and unfortunately, a narcissist to boot. When a veteran labels his award-winning piece as "unoriginal," Seishuu quickly loses his cool with severe repercussions.

As punishment, and also in order to aid him in self-reflection, Seishuu's father exiles him to the Goto Islands, far from the comfortable Tokyo lifestyle the temperamental artist is used to. Now thrown into a rural setting, Seishuu must attempt to find new inspiration and develop his own unique art style—that is, if boisterous children (headed by the frisky Naru Kotoishi), fujoshi middle schoolers, and energetic old men stop barging into his house! The newest addition to the intimate and quirky Goto community only wants to get some work done, but the islands are far from the peaceful countryside he signed up for. Thanks to his wacky neighbors who are entirely incapable of minding their own business, the arrogant calligrapher learns so much more than he ever hoped to.

Story: A person with artistic skills seeks nature to support him rather than luxury or materialistic support. This is already such a masterpiece. I had gave thoughts before trying but the truth is its one of those anime where a wholesome of life is giving hope!
Characters: Obviously main lead sensei made such a cool role in it. Had got to know how men could handle kids in far pretty way at times than women. Also those kids, village people (island residents) and all the ones made such care alive. It never felt like an artistic show focused for artistic.
It is really awesome. I ...

Mixed Feelings
I know this show is a favorite for many, but honestly it wasn't for me. When I first started it I enjoyed it. It was very unlike shows I'd watched in the past with a young adult protagonist. And I think the story is really interesting, but about halfway through watching it felt like every episode was the exact same thing over and over again. Like it was just retelling the same story with slight variations every time.
Despite these negativities one thing I really liked about this show was all the different characters. I'm a big sucker for "grown up guy takes in some ...

Preliminary (5/12 eps)
Contains spoilers:

I tend to stay away from anime with little kids as main characters, because let's face it; it can get pretty weird. Before watching this anime I read the reviews, and most of them mentioned how the little girl isn't sexualised and acts like a child so it's fine.

Well... That's true until about episode 5, which is where I dropped it. Until then Naru is just a cheery kid and very funny. In episode 5 she seems to have developed a crush for the MC (a 23 year old), and it's suggested how in about 10 years she could bunny drop him and that ...
