A subreddit for all things Barakamon!
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.

My sister and I just watched Barakamon for the first time and absolutely fell in love. The only problem is that the calligraphy was not translated in the version we watched, and I can’t find translations anywhere online. Would anyone who speaks Japanese be willing to provide some translations?
A new volume got released around the time the drama aired. Though it is not clear if it has been released in English yet. For those who have read it, what exactly is it about?
I love and appreciate this anime so much i have been rewatching since 2015 so i decided to recreate handa’s calligraphy of “star”
Here's a new link to the server! Someone messaged me since the old link no longer works. Let me know if you have any questions!
Finished it. And on one hand it feels more complete than the anime. However, it also kind of rushed and cut out parts that were in the anime that kind of made certain events like Handa leaving temporary not hit like in the anime. Not to mention it did feel a bit rushed as a whole. What is your opinion on it?
I discovered this drama through the ML of the show because he is my favorite actor as of now, and I haven't watched the anime version of it nor read the manga. But the live action made me very happy, watching it was very comforting for me. I can say that this became one of my favorite dramas and will rewatch it soon, but I always wonder what the manga readers and anime watchers will say about this live action. What are your opinions?
I watched the first episode. Been a long time since seeing the anime adaptation, though I've read the drama will adapt to the end unlike the anime. How is it so far in your opinion?
I've read in the official barakamon page that they were going to adap the whole work but I wasn't sure if they meant the whole manga or just the anime but now it's obvious they are going for the whole manga. I'm just so happy to see all of it into the live action, though I'm a little scared about the slight changes they have been making to the plot. Thoughts? Expectations?
I'm really looking forward to see Naru's dad arc 🤞
from where I can watch the live action version, any link or source?
Hey guys, I'm searching Barakamon online, but Idk where I can watch it again, like for the 42th time, but I'll appreciate if someone tells me where is it now, because is not in Crunchyroll anymore :(
I went to my local Barnes & Noble (US bookstore) over the weekend and saw some copies in stock which took me by surprise as I thought Yen Press had stopped printing the series back during the pandemic. Did a little research and came across this tweet from them. I did a quick search on RightStuf and Amazon and there are a number of copies available if you're interested in starting your collection!

Hey Everyone,
I wanted to share this with you!
I created for myself a Barakamon Soundboard and figured someone else might like it too!
I'm happy to add more clips if you have any suggestions :)
