    Super wholesome

    Want a break from an intense tv show like attack on titan? Then this is the show for you! Super casual, super adorable, totally worth your time!

    An anime that grows, entertains and teaches.

    The anime has a different charm puting the emphasis on the community life and the value it holds over an isolated individualilstic life. Naru herself puts a smile in us whenvever she comes . The characters are all so loving and adorable. Plus you will get to seea different picture of rural life in Japan. It is fun and has so much to teach. Handa kun is a kid in an adult body but towards the end we find him maturing both in his caligraphy and in himself.

    Feel good anime that will make u smile

    When i stumbled upon this anime i didn't expect much of it since it was new and relatively unknown.But now,after i watched it,i am so glad that i found it.I had some spare time so i decided to watch it on weekend,but that plan was ruined because i ended watching it on a Friday night,a 12 episode marathon.This is a feel good anime that gets u hooked from episode one.Animation is quite good,and characters are extremely likable.I was smiling the whole way through,and there were loads of things in this anime that reminded me of my childhood.The story is described well in summary,so i won't repeat that.I would recommend this anime to all,and believe me u wont regret watching it.

    WATCH THIS SO YOU CAN BE HEALED!

    I am not gonna talk about the storyline or characters or any other frames of this anime, I will just say one thing: after watching this, my heart was healed!

    The crazy pace of life in this era, does not let us to notice every little things happening around us! Or to take a moment and appreciate what we have.

    Every little interactions, reactions and moments in this anime was so on point that sometimes I would find myself lost in the rhythm without knowing that an episode was just finished.

    I watched this in 2024, almost 10 years after the Anime was released, and I cannot think of a better timing in my life for finding this hidden gem!

    Lovely

    I found this anime a long back but i really hesitated in watching it cuz i felt this wont be any good since there was nothing much to it with just 12 episodes, but when i really watched i found it surprisingly good i felt like "Man this is lovely, why did i even hesitate". This kept me smiling the whole time, Honestly my smile never went down after i got hooked. There is no super natural touch in it, its a very plain story with a lot of fun. It's a really good anime with a decent animation and a very lovable characters, It has just 12 episodes, Go watch it, you wont be disappointed.
