Barakamon

Seishu Handa, étoile montante de la calligraphie japonaise, collectionne les prix d’excellence pour son travail. Beau et jeune, mais surtout d’une arrogance sans bornes, il met sa carrière en péril le jour où, excédé, il assomme un éminent conservateur de musée qui juge son travail “formaté et sans saveur”… Sanction immédiate pour ce coup de sang : Seishu est puni et contraint d’aller expier son crime sur une petite île, au fin fond de la campagne nippone !
Le jeune citadin, qui espérait au moins pouvoir pratiquer son art dans le calme, ne tarde pas à déchanter : entre les voisins qui débarquent à l’improviste et la bande de gamins qui a choisi son atelier comme terrain de jeu, la partie s’annonce compliquée… Attachants, irritants, farfelus et pleins de vie, les habitants du village vont chambouler son quotidien bien réglé.
“Barakamon” est une expression du sud du Japon qui signifie “avoir la pêche” ! Avec sa ribambelle de héros hauts en couleur et touchants à la fois, ce manga est un concentré furieusement communicatif de bonne humeur !
