A great slice-of-life comedy. Some growing pains, kids who don't knock, and a great cast. Handa is an aspiring calligraphy artist, but needs to learn some life lessons. From the big city, he finds himself in a different world on an island where the locals are country folk, laid back, but interested in his life...especially the kids (unlike city life). It's a fun and winding story, and probably sentimental at the end (no, not a tear jerker). Well worth buying!
