 The official website of Square Enix's Gangan Online magazine has announced that Satsuki Yoshino's manga Handa-kun will receive a TV anime adaptation.Handa-kun is a prequel to Yoshino's Barakamon manga, which was adapted into a TV anime in 2014. That series was animated by Kinema Citrus and aired for 12 episodes. Handa-kun takes place six years before the events of Barakamon during Seishuu Handa's time in high school. The series began serialization in Shounen Gangan in 2013. Four volumes of the manga have been published by Square Enix, with a fifth volume scheduled for February 12. North American publisher Yen Press will release the first volume in English on February 23. Synopsis Seishuu Handa is admired by his peers as a calligraphy genius and given the utmost respect, but Handa-kun himself is under the mistaken impression that the deference and attention he receives from the other students is actually bullying. Handa just wants to live a quiet life, but hilarity ensues as one character after another challenges his position as the school idol, and somehow comes away as a fan all while Handa is horrified and clueless.

| Not too surprising imo. I'll look forward to this since I think the manga has some good comedy. |
|
| Aw sweet, I was always kind of wanted to know more about his past. |
   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |
| Ooh very nice. Loved the first season a shitton. Was thinking about picking up the manga for this, might have to read it soon ^^ |

| Fuck yessssssssssssssssssssss >3gatsu no Lion >Koe no Katachi >Tanaka kun >now this FUCK YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!;1111111111111!!1!111 |
| Twitter and it's consequences had been a disaster for the human race |
| I dunno what this is but more barakamon and Ono daisuke is cool with me! |
| I kind of always knew this would happen. |
Didn't expect this :D!! |
 |
| Hell yeah!! I love this manga and Barakamon!! |
 |
| Yeah boy! Anime is saved. |
 |
| OHHHHHHHHHH I fucking love this prequel! can't wait to see this animated! |
| great!! insta PTW |
 |
| Damn somehow I knew Handa-kun was going to get an adaptation but I didn't think it was going to be so soon. Great news! More Handa is always welcomed. |
This pretty much. |
| If this is indeed 6 years before Barakamon, this most likely means no Naru :( |
| MAL: A community that thinks every anime is bad, but rates everything a 7/10. |
| YEAAAAAAAAAAH I confess I love this manga more than barakamon, so I'm damn happy |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| OHHHHHHHHHHHH HELLL YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111111111111!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care what it is but more of Barakamon is always very welcomed. Can't wait to watch it. |
 |
| OH MY GOD!! This was so unexpected... It's not a sequel but wow this will definitely do! Can't wait! :D |
| So, now they're trying to sell the prequel manga with this adaptation? I'd rather watch a proper sequel to Barakamon. But nonetheless, I will give this one a try when it comes out. |
| I loved Barakamon, so hell yeah I'm gonna watch this. |
| it'd be better if it's a sequel but well....definitely not gonna miss this.. |
| Haven't gotten to watching the original yet, but this'll probably make me get to it that bit quicker. |
| YES! I just read the manga and it was hilarious! It's like Barakamon without the story though, it's purely a gag manga. Still, I'll love it (perhaps even more?) since I really REALLY enjoyed the comedy in Barakamon and the 14 chapters I read from Handa-kun. Definitely plan to watch! |
| beep |
| I've been meaning to read this one for a while. I should finish before the anime gets released. Though this story doesn't seem like it'll have the same mood as Barakamon, I'm excited to see more Handa ^^ |
 |
| This made my night. Hopefully its as comfy as Barakamon. |
 |
| Oh my god!!! YESSSS!! |
| Oh yay. I liked the first season so hopefully this makes S2 a thing. More Barakamon lighthearted comedy is great for my Kokoro. |
 |
| Barakamon was great so I'm really looking forward to this GIMME ALL DAT ONOD |
 Nico- said: Conversations with people pinging/quoting me to argue about some old post I wrote years ago will not be entertained@Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite |
| OMG GREAT NEWS CANT WAIT |
| they are only similiar in term of comedy. other than that, not really. handa even have more inferiority and story wil revolving around misunderstood. i like both equally, but i don't think people who like barakamon automaticaly like this. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| I really enjoyed the Barakamon anime, so I'll give this a shot, even with the obvious lack of Naru. |
"Hurry up with my damn croissants." |
| AWWW YESS! More Handa-kun! Unfortunately, does likely mean no Naru though. |
