Handa's parents visit! Intense! Also his father's scary agent.
The kids are so fun in this one, although there's not much Hiroshi (a sidebar of him at school).
Learned a new insult, "strained leas" Shiborikasu, i.e. the unwanted solid left over from making wine or sake. Also the phrase "mite-tempered" to mean impatient.

Mum and Dad come to "visit" and Handa's complicated relationship with his father comes to the fire again.
It's a real nice Manga and even the detours from the main story are fun because the characters are so well written

Jilid ini maniiiisss bangeeeet~~~
Huhuhuuuuu~~~ Anggi bahagia bacanya~~~
Terutama karena Bapak Handa banyak muncul, mata Anggi dimanjakan <333 Beliau emang bapak-bapak ganteng luar-dalem~~~
Btw, saya bingung kenapa Pak Handa yang kayak begitu bisa nikah sama Bu Handa yang kayak begitu? Saking anehnya karakter keduanya, saya jadi penasaran sendiri chemistry mereka ada di mana? (Apa karena sama-sama aneh, makanya jadi cocok? #eh)
Btw, kenapa para manajer kaligrafer itu aneh-aneh juga? Mendadak Bapak Kawafuji juga muncul di jilid ini, sebagai crossdresser!!! Sampe para bocah pulau nanya dengan polosnya: "Orang itu pria atau wanita?", saya gak nyadar dia crossdresser!! Saya masih terlalu polooooosss!! Pantesan badannya gede!! Ternyata bapak-bapak berputra yang hobi pake rok dan high heels!! Syoooookk!!
Bab akhir tentang persaingan bapak-anak Handa maniiiis sekaliiiii.... Huhuhuuuu... Pak Handaaaa, Anggi pengen di-pukpuk juga~~~ <333 /kabur sebelum dikasih pisau sama Bu Handa/

Family time!
World: Beautiful art full of charm and personality. The world building was solid with pieces from different worlds come crashing together.
Story: Fun story with the family visiting Sensei. I did find Kawafuji's mother to be a bit much and ridiculous but overall it was a fun read. I love how the two worlds come crashing together. Fun stuff.
Characters; Beautiful amazing moment with dad and Sensei. That entire character moment at school was stunning.
Beautiful family drama.
Onward to the next book!

Every time I visit the world of Barakamon I am just blown away by how much heart it contains between its pages. The last few pages of this volume warmed my heart so much (and left us at a cliffhanger).
So much love for this series.

I really liked this volume !! The whole chapter that was just a simple day in Hiroshi's life was just wonderful! As much as people try to see his blonde hair as a trouble maker, that is not the case at all! He is simply a good person with a bigger heart! And truly is becoming one of my favourite characters! And then we get Handa's parents and entourage visiting which lead to a beautiful heartfelt moment between father and son! But there is more to come!!

This got off to a weird start, but then it had a whole chapter about Hiroshi at school (that honestly reminded me a lot of Handa-kun 1) and a lovely story getting into the relationship between the Handa men, so this is one of the best volumes so far.

Another really fun entry in the series. I feel like manga is currently so much fun that it’s a bit hard to get back to reading full length novels. I’ll likely miss this series a lot once it’s over.
This series is about a character taking a break from the high pace work life in a city and going to live in a village to get some perspective. Of course, he doesn’t want to do it initially and hates how involved the villagers get. But then over time warms up to them and ends up developing deep ties with them. Of course, at some point you realize that this is nothing but a giant vacation. And vacations are of course, fleeting. The closest I can remember are the summer breaks which would last for 2 months and used to be this bubble where time would seemingly stop and I wasn’t beholden to any real world concerns like school exams and such. Of course, you don’t get that anymore once you start a job. And I think that’s what this series reminds you of. By inspiring a brand of nostalgia for days that are behind you, it slowly creeps into your heart.
And makes you dream of taking long vacations.

I really loved this volume! It’s been a while since I read Barakamon, but I had no trouble getting back into these characters and I loved that the volume felt very cohesive even with its slices of island life. I love Kawafuji, I love Handa’s family, I love Hiroshi, this was pretty much my perfect volume for this series.

Maestro minta untuk dikirimkan baju musim dingin pada Kawafuji, tapi yang datang malah seluruh keluarganya. Dan mereka datang dengan satu misi penting yaitu.....
Kocak abis. Setiap kali baca komik ini selalu ketawa terbahak-bahak.

This is more like it, a full calligrapher life with interesting twist and plot at the end of the book. I just want to dropped out this series if the story only full of filler, but this volume saved that.
December 25, 2022
This volume focused more on the relationship between Handa and his father, which was really interesting. Their dynamic is a good one, and I also really loved the calligraphy lesson with the children. Overall a really good volume.

This volume is kind of a build up to the biggest cliffhanger in Barakamon so far. Still good, but a bit more scattered storywise than usually.

Pretty great adorable slice of life manga, really love it!!😻😁📖🖋

Ah, gegara dapat lamaran menikah, maestro Handa ni perasaan jadi sedikit lebih dewasa d, akhirnya bisa ngomong baik2 sama si bapak. Selain itu sih, ni seri bikin ngakak gak bisa brenti 🤣🤣

Trop bien, vraiment ! Souvent, les séries de manga baissent en qualité au fil des tomes, mais pas celle-ci. J'ai les 5 tomes suivants sur mon étagère et me régale d'avance 🤞

I was kind of expecting that.

I'm liking meeting these new characters and how well his parents fit into the dynamic with all the villages.

There are only three volumes left and I don't want this series to end.

BARAKAMON is taking longer, slower strides, which is fine, particularly when the narrative dotes so heavily on so many characters at once.
Notwithstanding a delightful middle chapter dedicated to Hiroshi, the whole volume focuses on sensei's high anxiety surrounding the impending visit of his father (Seimei) and mother (Emi). The antics sell themselves from there on out.
Seimei Handa, being quite famous and busy, quests to bond with his strange (but not estranged) son. Or at least, that's the cover. It turns out the visiting family is conducting a kind of underhanded calculus of the young sensei's viability as an emerging adult. Does the boy communicate adequately? Does he master inspiration for his calligraphy as consistently as he claims? And regarding his relationship with the villagers, does it fuel or hamper his creativity? The Handa family, though supportive, possesses an array of unasked questions for the young man.
BARAKAMON still manages to surprise in the oddest ways. Most notable here is the introduction of Kirie Kawafuji, Seimei's manager and the father of sensei's childhood friend. Kirie-san is a crossdresser (this totally fascinates Miwa and Tama, whose imaginations are forever unhinged). But more importantly, Kirie is the precision and deliberateness counterbalancing the fluid, if not random intellectual limberness often expressed through calligraphy. That is to say, where Seimei and Seishuu bundle and then unleash their creativity in manic bouts of contorted emotion, Kirie is quick to chide, and quick to pull both of them back down to Earth.
This means Kirie is correct more often than not. Kirie's rightness, however, is typically validated by way of the frustration, tears, and an uncomfortable silence of others. When Kirie accompanies the Handa family to the island, it sets everyone on edge. But that's a good thing. Like when Seimei and Seishuu teach the local elementary students' art class (which invariably turns into a calligraphy competition). Kirie warns that Seimei, a seasoned master, will crush his son. (Kirie isn't wrong.) And yet, Seishuu, shedding tears at his apparent inadequacy to measure up to his father, nevertheless reassures Seimei and everyone else that no matter the gap separating he and his father, this inexperienced "sensei" is going to fight tooth and nail to better himself every single day.
Also, that interstitial featuring Hiroshi? Hilarious. Apparently, the high-school senior has acquired an admirer. The young man's plain-spokenness and knack for understatement -- the mark of a simple man for so long -- has since turned one girl's awkward gaze into a fiery passion ("Ah've started watchin' you closely, and the more ah see, the more ah realize how good you are," says Rina Tajima. "Even when plainly statin' the obvious, yer just so cool!").
Rina is a bit of a ditz when it comes to actual romance (despite her popularity). And the consternation she feels while repeatedly trying (and failing) to rope Hiroshi into a situation in which she can ask him out on a date no doubt masks a slew of insecurities that only an "ordinary" guy like Hiroshi can solve.
This volume of BARAKAMON has a very nice rhythm to it.

October 18, 2017I adore this series. It just continues to make me smile and laugh with every volume. This was perfect. Naru is still my favorite. And I loved seeing Sensei's family interact with the island villagers. It was great fun.
AND THAT ENDING. THAT ENDING. WHAT THE FLIP FLAP PADDY WHACK WAS THAT ENDING? SERIOUSLY.
It's a good freaking thing I don't have to wait to read the next volume. BECAUSE THAT ENDING. WHAT

In Summary
It’s family bonding time on the island! Mrs. Handa provides an even more extreme level of Tokyoite-meets-country shock, but bumpkin humor aside, Yoshino-sensei explores our wacky characters from an intriguing new angle as parent-child relationships and expectations takes center stage.
The Review
Our young calligrapher has been on the island a while now, long enough for the seasons to change. Volume 10 opens with the approach of fall and some goofy fun in preparation for cold weather. Then Handa makes the seemingly innocuous move of requesting that his winter clothes be sent to the island. The next thing he knows, his parents make that delivery in person. Thus, the island gets another invasion of city folk.
While there are the usual comic elements of rural life assaulting urban sensibilities, interactions go beyond simple culture shock thanks to two tagalongs. Apparently, when you are a master calligrapher, you can’t go anywhere without your agent watching your every move, and Seimei Handa’s agent just happens to be another member of the Kawafuji family. With Takao Kawafuji rounding out the roster, we have two artist-agent teams of different generations plus two parent-child relationships that provide plenty of fodder for insight, strife, and insecurity. The father-son calligraphy battle in the schoolhouse is particularly fun and clever. Not only does it demonstrate the differences between Handa and his dad as artists, it also brings the islanders in as participants.
Inserted in the midst of the Handa/Kawafuji family trip, we get a completely Hiroshi-centric chapter. Those who follow the Handa-Kun spinoff will not only enjoy the similar four-frames per page format but the string of misinterpretations that characterize the narrative. Given all the grief Hiroshi suffers at his village, it’s nice to see him appreciated at school (even if he doesn’t realize it).
Extras include character introductions, a bonus one-page manga, translation notes, and another installment of “Barakamon News.”
