Fuji TV\u00a0announced\u00a0that the Barakamon<\/a><\/strong> live-action television drama will debut this July on Wednesdays at 10:00 p.m. [JST]. Yosuke Sugino, who also stars in the live-action drama Love’s in Sight! and Flower and the Beast, takes the role of the talented calligrapher, Seish\u016b Handa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keita Kono is directing the series. Kumiko As\u043e\u0304 is writing the screenplay. Juichi Uehara is in charge of planning, and\u00a0Masataka Takamaru\u00a0is the producer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on Satsuki Yoshino’s Barakamon slice-of-life manga, the series centers on Handa, a young professional calligrapher, who was sent off to a faraway Island in Kyushu after punching an elderly curator for criticizing his work. There, he meets the colorful villagers, interacts with them, and begins to find his own style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lead actor Sugino expressed excitement about participating in the drama. “The series takes place in the Got\u014d Islands and I’m looking forward to visiting the islands and being involved in a work that highlights the warmth and connections between people,” he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In the dialect of the Got\u014d Islands, Barakamon means the energetic\/cheerful one. The way that Handa interacts and connects with the residents in the Got\u014d Islands is something that is rarely found in daily life, so I value the relationship that is unique to this work.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Barakamon\u00a0manga was first serialized in Square Enix\u2019s Gangan Online magazine in 2009. The manga also began running in Monthly Shonen Gangan in 2014. It ran for a total of nine years and 18 volumes.\u00a0Barakamon\u00a0also inspired a 12-episode anime series of the same name that premiered in July. The manga also returned for a limited serialization, starting in this year’s May issue published on April 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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! From navigating public roads by tractor to resigning himself to having his new digs commandeered by the local children as their new hangout, the list of Sensei’s hardships is shaping up to be long indeed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
