Just to let you guys know that they have released a prequel series called Handa-kun, that tells the tales of Handa Sei when he was still a student, way before the events that lead him to "tragedy" on Barakamon. 😹🍶
It's available on Funimation streaming service.

Just released, I’m pretty sure it’s been out for a good amount of time all ready.

Well I skipped Handa kun, cuz others that have watched Handa-kun said that it's not really good compare to Barakamon. Plus even if it's a prequel you can still watch this without any knowledge of the other one

It may be inferior to Barakamon but it is not bad I think, anyways Barakamon is more slice-of-life-y while Handa-kun is more comedy oriented so I'm not sure that we should even be comparing them.

A few Handa moments in Barakamon like this one where he just freaks out for little to no reason for "comedic" purposes were by far the worst of the series. Absolute cringe material.

As far as I'm concerned Handa-kun as a prequel is this but turned up to eleven and constant, with him living in a never-ending misunderstanding. And taking place in a run of the mill school setting.

I've never been so certain in skipping something in its entirety.

It's been out for years. But many users tend to miss out on Handa-kun.

Yes, they're all important things as well... But the most important thing is responsibility for your own actions.

Hahaha.. I wanted to write "have" release one, not "just" released it! First time I don't preview my post before sending! I'm laughing so much... 😹

Anyway, it's been years since I've looked at the Barakamon's MAL page and I didn't see anyone commenting on that after adding the forgotten Handa-kun to my MAL, so I thought it was worth mentioning it here.
I recently rewatched everything coz Handa-kun in on Funimation! =)
