Manga UP! Global launched Satsuki Yoshino's Handa-kun manga in English on Wednesday, making the Barakamon prequel available through the platform's digital catalog. Yen Press, which holds the license, is releasing the series both digitally and in print. The story follows teenage calligrapher Sei Handa, whose negative self-perception leads him to believe his classmates despise him, though they actually worship him. Yoshino originally serialized the comedy in Monthly Shonen Gangan from October 2013 to September 2016, and the series received a television anime adaptation in 2016 that Funimation streamed with subtitles and an English dub.
