Hated by everyone around him, Sei Handa goes about his high school life regarded as an outcast—or at
least that's what he believes. In reality, Sei is the most popular student on campus, revered by all
for his incomparable calligraphy skills, good looks, and cool personality. However, due an endless
series of misunderstandings, Handa perceives the worship he receives from his legions of fans as
bullying, leading the school's idol to shut himself off from the rest of his classmates.
But distancing himself from his peers doesn't deter them from adoring him; in fact, his attempts at
drawing attention away from himself often end up unintentionally converting even the most skeptical of
students into believers. Fashion models, shut-in delinquents, obsessive fangirls, and more—none can
stand against the brilliance that is Sei Handa.

~~~_Handsome teenage calligrapher Sei Handa is worshiped by all his classmates as an aloof
superstar–too bad Sei’s inherent negativity and neurotic personality make him believe that everyone
actually hates him._~~~
A comedy of errors! It’s so ridiculous, but it _knows_ it’s being ridiculous, I cannot help but love
it!
The entire series derives humor from:
1. everyone is impressed by Handa-kun! He’s a notable calligrapher! And handsome! And polite! No
matter who you are, you have reasons to believe that Handa-kun is the best at whatever you do–whether
you’re the class rep who enjoys class repping, or a thug who likes fighting, etc.
2. Handa, due to an old prank by a friend, believes that _everyone hates his guts_ and interprets
literally everything through that lens. He gets nominated to be class rep? _Obviously because no one
wants to do it so they’ll foist it on him._ He gets pushed out of the classroom after school? Sure,
they _said_ it’s so he can go focus on his calligraphy, but clearly it’s because _they hate being
around him!_
