Calligraphy meets the countryside in this slice-of-life comedy manga!
This is the most realistic Tarzan make-believe setting that I've ever seen...... Gaining inspiration from nature, handsome young (and bug-hating) calligrapher Seishuu Handa is making strides in his creative endeavors. But while anguishing over the individuality of his calligraphy, he receives a phone call from Tokyo that could change everything. The tale of bumbling Sensei, who doesn't even hold back against children, and his warm island neighbors trundles into the last days of summer, which bring with them bittersweet memories!
First things first.........Visitors are supposed to come in through the front door!! For a certain reason, a handsome, young calligrapher by the name of Seishuu Handa uproots himself and moves to an island on the westernmost edge of Japan. "Sensei," as he comes to be known, is a city boy through and through, and has never experienced rural life until now. And by the looks of it, he has much to learn! Luckily(?), he has a willing teacher in Naru, the energetic expert islander, to help show him the ropes. But can Sensei keep up with the plucky first-grader, or will he get schooled?! Here unfolds a heartfelt island comedy about a gruff on the outside, soft on the inside urbanite teacher and his new, unfailingly kind island neighbors!
Reads from right to left in the traditional Japanese format.
An international call...?...Since when is the island outside the country?! Aiming for an autumn calligraphy exhibition, handsome young calligrapher Seishuu Handa sets out to get in touch with his creative side. Meanwhile, a man whose appearance screams "yakuza," landing him well out of place on the peaceful island, puts in a "request" to have Handa write the name on his boat...?! Kick back like a local and enjoy the fourth volume of this heartwarming island comedy!
