19 [Similar Anime] Like Handa-kun

Although Handa in reality isn't as great compared to Sakamoto-kun, the two series are focused on how great both characters are and how they're worshiped at school.

I find them rather similar with school life setting and comedy. While Saiki has supernatural power and Handa-kun is a well-regarded school idol and prodigy calligrapher, all they wanted just a normal/quiet life but often hilarity ensues.

School life setting plus comedy. Both series main characters avoid being the center of attention but often misunderstood for their action.

same main charcter as handa-kun but barakamon is way more better than handa-kun
no fanservice no lolis or traps or anything like those
nice comedy and a great slice of life anime

These two comedies follow main characters who are popular almost to the point of worship. However, while Aoyama faces external problems such as competition from others, Handa faces internal problems within himself.

Both MCs are fanatically loved by people around them. Every random little thing they do is over interpreted in a way which makes them seem like geniuses thinking 100 steps ahead. Also, both are incredibly lucky because no matter how rash their actions are, in the end the result is amazing. Absurd comedy at its best.

Highschool comedy setting with a lot of misunderstanding. In Gamers! It only revolves around the 5 Main Characters, while in Handa-kun it involves more characters but with Handa as the center of misunderstandings.

I found these two similar mainly because of the several misunderstandings that occurred throughout each series; leading to multiple comedic scenarios. However, the misunderstandings are more extreme in Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun as though it is a character itself, it also occurs more often compared to Handa-kun. Both series also focuses on a group of characters in a school setting throughout each series. The level of admiration shown by the Handa fan group/ followers is also similar to the way Chiyo 'admires' Nozaki.

Hey you, if your shy person, maybe these anime make you feel identified or make you see another perspective.

Both Angel Densetsu and Handa-kun revolve around a misunderstood main character in a school.

I agree! Can't believe Gintama only has 1 rec. I have seen the first 3 recommendations above this one, but while watching the anime, I actually thought about how much it really reminded me of Gintama. Handa-kun and Gintama are my type of humor. Both have hilarious situations, but the cast, which slowly expands, brings it to that LOL level. If you're looking for a similar characters, not here. But, if you're looking for that same type of comedy, THIS is it.

If you enjoyed the ridiculous and hilarious comedy of this show then you would love handa-kun, then if you enjoyed this show make sure to check out season 2 of handa-kun it’s called barakamon still as hilarious just focuses a bit more on slice of life, loved it and both seasons are one of my favorite comedies

This is like a reverse Hand-kun, the guy acts like he can't do anything and everyone treats him stupid, but really he a genius, it's only 6 episodes so not too big of a commitment

IT IS NOT ROMANCE BUT STILL COMEDY
> RELATIONSHIP DEVELOPMENT (LOVE+FRIENDSHIP (HORIMIYA)/ FRIENDSHIP(HANDA-KUN))
> both have a similar but UNIQUE personality
> boy is kind of isolated
YOU WILL ENJOY TILL END.

In both animes the main characters are "described", they are seen through the other eyes not for what they really are. The other characters have more scenes/speaking than the main characters themselves.
In Tonari no Seki-kun , Seki is always watched by Rumi Yokoi who is her classmate; in Handa-kun, Handa is always watched by the "Handa-force" ( his four classmates).

The shows are similar in how the main characters see everyone else as a threat, Oreigaru is darker humor with a bit of romance whilst Handa-kun is more slapstick comedy.

Both series feature a lead who everyone thinks is godlike but is actually just misunderstood

Hated by everyone around or being too cautious as to not set off death flags that may speed up the impending doom they are trying to avoid, Sei Handa and Katarina Claes go about their life regarded as outcasts—or at least those are what they believe.

These two are best of the best comedy series ....!
