The opening theme song is "Rashisa" performed by SUPER BEAVER, and the ending theme is "Innocence" by NoisyCell.

The story centers on Seishu Handa, a calligrapher who moves in remote Goto Islands off the west coast of Kyushu, and its interactions with the locals. A manga spin-off, entitled Handa-kun, began serialization in the Monthly Shonen Gangan of Square Enix October 2013.

Seishu Handa is a calligrapher to look good, but also pretty arrogant, that he is shocked when a well-known art critic calls his works "rigid and insipid." Not holding affront pummels the old master, thus arousing the indignation of the entire artistic community. Seishu, shunned by all and considered a fool ungrateful, is then forced by his father to relocate on a remote island, where a lifestyle that pervades the very hand that is not easy to get used to an inhabitant of the city to the bone like him. There, the calligrapher meets the lively villagers, including farmers who use tractors as cars, undesirable neighbors who never use the front door and a girl pestiferous using his home as his base of games.

Rashisa Lyrics

jibunrashisa tte nanda
“hito to wa chigau” de sa o tsukero
konbini no zasshi coonaa hyoushi ni futo shite kaiteatta

jibunrashisa tte nanda
kodomo no koro wa ki ni mo sezu
ki ni iranakereba okotte
suki na mono o suki tte itte

bokura kawatteku mamoritai mono ga kawatteyuku
rikai sarenai takaramono kara
rikai sareru tame no tatemae e

otona ni naru hodo koukai suru ikimono ni naru
demo ne sore demo ne
mieru mono ga arunda yo

dakara boku wa bokurashiku soshite kimi wa kimi rashiku tte
hajimekara sagasu you na mono de wa nainda to omounda

boku wa kimi janai shi kimi wa boku janai kara
surechigau te o tsunagu
soko ni wa ai datte umareru
sou iu mon sa

jibunrashisa tte nandarou
kaerarenai taisetsu ga aru kara
kawariyuku seikatsu ga tadashii

Innocence Lyrics

You held out your small hand
Smiling like 'you do' (to you)
It was so natural

It may have no meaning
But it is something
I can not do

You touch my hand without thinking 'that' (back)
It was nice for me

All the time we believed
That the world's in our hand
We were wrong
Maybe it wasn't
Cause you're holding my hand now

Every moment
Everywhere
I can feel
I can believe
With my holding 'of your hand' (your own hand)
Your own hand...
