It has the same child care factor and is a very wholesome series where the protagonist gets closer with the child gradually.
Simlarities:
Both anime are slice of life featuring a protagonist that faced setbacks in their careers.
Both moved elsewhere, more peaceful environment, for a change of pace.
Both protagonists meet a chilid and become a father/older brother figure to them.
Differences:
MC in Barakamon seems more pessimistic at times, but changes as his social circle expands; while, MC in Deaimon seems to somehow become optimistic from food.
Child in Barakamon tends to be more carefree, while child in Deaimon seems heavy-hearted.
