COMMENTS FOR HAVEN'T YOU HEARD? I'M SAKAMOTO
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.

COMMENTS FOR THE DISASTROUS LIFE OF SAIKI K.
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.

COMMENTS FOR TANAKA-KUN IS ALWAYS LISTLESS
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

COMMENTS FOR CLEAN FREAK! AOYAMA-KUN
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.
COMMENTS FOR OVERLORD
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.
COMMENTS FOR GAMERS!
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.

COMMENTS FOR MONTHLY GIRLS' NOZAKI-KUN
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.

COMMENTS FOR WATAMOTE: NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT, IT'S YOU GUYS' FAULT I'M UNPOPULAR!
Hey you, if your shy person, maybe these anime make you feel identified or make you see another perspective.
Both have an insecure protagonist who has a hard time having friends out of fear, grief or what they think. Still he has a friend. Throughout the series, he will be forced to try to change, even if he sees it differently for his eyes.
What's different is that in WataMote, the girl wants to be popular and in Handa-kun, the boy doesn't want to attract attention.
In addition to addressing this, you will find funny situations caused by your insecurities

COMMENTS FOR ANGEL DENSETSU
Both Angel Densetsu and Handa-kun revolve around a misunderstood main character in a school.
Handa-kun is a straightforward but paranoid character, whose unsocial attitude leads to misunderstandings that blow out of proportion. This in turn leads to a bunch of various characters forming a clique around him performing various antics.
Angel Densetsu is set in the pre-internet/mobile era. The MC of Angel Densetsu, Kitano Seiichiro is an angel at heart with the face of a demon. So scary is his appearance that not a single person has recognized his saintliness at first glance. This in turn attracts only delinquents at first, but normal people follow later as well. Contrary to the likeability of Handa-kun, Kitano is notorious, feared even, by the rest of the school.
The sad part about Angel Densetsu is the OVA lasted only a few episodes. The manga is fully translated though. If you enjoyed the misunderstandings around Handa-kun, then read the Angel Densetsu manga for a full dose of laughter which is sure to leave you satisfied.
COMMENTS FOR GINTAMA
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.

COMMENTS FOR BAKA & TEST - SUMMON THE BEASTS
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

COMMENTS FOR GOLDEN BOY
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

> 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.

COMMENTS FOR TONARI NO SEKI-KUN: THE MASTER OF KILLING TIME
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).

COMMENTS FOR MY TEEN ROMANTIC COMEDY SNAFU
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.
If you enjoy school animes with unusual male leads you'll like and learn from both.
