After punching a famous curator in the face for criticizing his work as "textbook and lifeless," Handa Seishuu is sent to Gotō Island to calm his nerves and find new inspiration for his calligraphy. Growing up in the city all his life, though, Handa must adapt to country life while meeting an assortment of quirky people during his tenure.

Sun-drenched islands and salty ocean breezes provide a healing backdrop for a frustrated calligrapher struggling to find his artistic soul. Between the chaotic energy of local children and the quiet rhythm of rural life, this slice-of-life comedy finds beauty in the most unexpected imperfections.
