Handa-kun English Sub & Dub

About Handa-kun

Handa-kun (はんだくん) blends comedy and slice of life by diomedéa (2016). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. The setup: Hated by everyone around him, Sei Handa goes about his high school life regarded as an outcast—or at least that's what he believes. In reality, Sei is the most popular student on campus, revered by all for his incomparable calligraphy skills, good looks, and cool personality.

Another thread: However, due an endless series of misunderstandings, Handa perceives the worship he receives from his legions of fans as bullying, leading the school's idol to shut himself off from the rest of his classmates. Distancing himself from his peers doesn't deter them from adoring him; in fact, his attempts at drawing attention away from himself often end up unintentionally converting even the most skeptical of pupils into believers. Fashion models, shut-in delinquents, obsessive fangirls, and more—none can stand against the brilliance that is Sei Handa.

In a comedy series like this, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Voice work is led by Nobunaga Shimazaki as Sei Handa and Natsuko Kuwatani as Emi Handa. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
