Barakamon, Vol. 13 by Genzaburo Yoshino

On the remote island, a high-strung calligrapher finds fresh inspiration in the bustle of everyday life, juggling mentoring the local kids, pitching in with neighbors, and rethinking his approach to art; through small setbacks, quiet epiphanies, and plenty of laughter, he learns to loosen up and channel the community’s warmth into bolder strokes, inching toward a more genuine style and a clearer sense of who he wants to be.
