Description
On a quest to discover why a famous curator critiqued his calligraphy as "rigid and bland," handsome, arrogant, self-centred Handa Seishu forced to continue his work while living on a remote island.

A city-slicker to the core, Handa is surprised (and annoyed) by his wacky new neighbors and their odd habits - people traveling around on tractors as if they were cars, unwanted visitors who never use the front door, annoying kids using his home as a base...the list of grievances grows by the minute.

Can a city guy really adapt to an easy-going island life? Find out in this silly comedy full of innocence and laughter!

Ahaha..this is awesome. From the first chapter when the brat appears and pesters the Sensei I already smirking like an idiot. A calligrapher spending his training on some village, with the villagers really close to one another making the atmosphere feels like a really peaceful place. Furthermore, the characters come one another each chapter with each story making this Sensei's slice of life getting more hilarious.

This is a nice little story - gentle, funny, and quite adorable. The subtle but telling effect that island life and the interactions with his neighbours has on our haughty, self-centered young calligrapher is presented with a level of tact and delicacy I did not expect to see in a manga so simple and child-like.

Each character - from the protagonist to the little kids and the neighbours, has a clearly defined personality that is as realistic and relateable as it is extremely endearing.

The art is fitting and rather pretty in a shounen-like fashion. I found the manner in which the faces were drawn particularly expressive and appealing.

Overall - really worth a read, especially if you enjoy quietly comedic slice-of-life works.

Seriously the funniest manga I've read in a really long time. I never make comments but I just had to for this one. I definitely recommend this. The art is good too, really clean, which makes it even more enjoyable. The faces the main character pulls whenever he's baffled by the locals are really funny. Just read it and you'll see what I mean... Tip: DO NOT drink anything while reading this, lol.

FRIGGIN ADORABLE!

As the heading of this comment suggests, this manga is FRIGGIN ADORABLE! The lil girly's bright and laid-back personality is good to have around since that hot-headed protagonist is pretty tight in the inside and out.

Edit: I forgot to add that this manga is FRIGGIN HILARIOUS! as well.
