278 people recommend Kakushigoto to anyone who liked Barakamon — more than any other title. Bunny Drop is second on 220 votes and Sweetness & Lightning third on 123. 20 more suggestions cleared the threshold, and all of them are listed below, strongest first. These are votes rather than an algorithm: each number counts AniList members who watched Barakamon and said a particular show was worth watching next, so a suggestion people disagreed with does not appear at all. Three of the 23 have a watch order on this site; the rest are named so you can find them.

Where these come from

Every number above is a tally of AniList members who finished Barakamon and nominated another series as the one to watch next. Nothing here is inferred from genres or tags: this page cannot tell you why Kakushigoto follows Barakamon, only that 278 people think it does. Suggestions the community voted down are excluded, and where several seasons of one franchise were nominated they are counted once, under the franchise.

3 of them have a watch order here , so if one appeals you can see every series, film and OVA in it laid out in order before you start: The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. , March Comes in Like a Lion , Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai .

Keep going

Each of these has its own list of what people recommend after it — so if one of the suggestions above appeals, you can see where it leads before committing to it.
