The official site for the upcoming TV anime adaptation of Satsuki Yoshino's Barakamon manga announced two additional voice cast today on April 10. In addition to the previously-announced Daisuke Ono as the protagonist Seishu Handa, Junichi Suwabe will voice his only friend Takao Kawafuji with Yuuki Kaji as a high school calligrapher Kosuke Kanzaki. Suwabe is best known for his voice works for Keigo Atobe in The Prince of Tennis anime series, and Kaji's recent most famous anime character is, of course, Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan. The cast for the people of the Goto islands including 7-year-old girl Naru Kotoishi will be announced on May 10.
The story centers a 23-year-old calligrapher Seishu Handa, who is forced to move to the Goto Islands by his father, because he caused an assault case at a party where his award-winning calligraphy was
severely criticized. It tells his totally new life with the people in the islands. The manga is currently
serialized in Square Enix's web comic site GanGan Online and so far 8 tankobon volumes are available.
The TV anime is produced by Kinema Citrus (Cøde:Breaker, Yuyushiki) and is scheduled to premiere on
Nihon TV and Nagasaki Kokusai TV sometime in 2014.
