This final volume stays true to the tone and spirit of the entire series, finishing out with the same low-key, slice of life humor and a focus on character interaction and personal growth over big dramatic developments. Nothing flashy happens here, but it is all very heartwarming and satisfying.

The ending was so wholesome and satisfying. Things tend to stay the same in this kind of slice-of-life manga. To see how everything set in motion as the ending was beautiful.

Ain't nobody need every mochi in the world and ain't nobody deserve to take them all neither sometimes you give one and you find one for yourself somewhere else.
সেইশু হান্দা, একজন মেধাবী তরুণ ক্যালিগ্রাফার কিন্তু প্রচন্ড অহংকারী। একজন সমালোচকের সাথে বাকবিতন্ডায় ঘুসি মেরে বসে ফলে পাঠানো হয় এক শান্ত গ্রামে যেনো ঠান্ডা মাথা করে নিজের কাজ গুছিয়ে নিতে পারে। কিন্তু নতুন জায়গায় মানিয়ে নিতে যেমন ঝামেলা হয় তেমনি অপরিচিত মানুষদের সাথে চলতেও সমস্যা দেখা দেয়। তবে একসময় বদলে যায় অনেককিছু। কিন্তু কী?
করোনার মধ্যে "বারাকামন" অ্যানিমেটা দেখেছিলাম, মাঙ্গাও যে আছে জানা ছিল না তখন। মোট ১২টা এপিসোড। এইবছর মাঙ্গার সন্ধান পেয়েছি তাই পুরাতন স্মৃতি আবারও চাঙ্গা করলাম। মোট ১৮টা বই। এককথায় দারুণ একটা সিরিজ। অনেক মজার। শেখার অনেককিছু আছে জীবনে কিন্তু সবচেয়ে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ হলো বুঝা ও মানিয়ে নেওয়ার মানসিকতা। চটপটে দুরন্ত স্বভাবের পিচ্চি নারু আমার অনেক পছন্দের একটা চরিত্র। মজার সব ঘটনা, এডভেঞ্চার, পারস্পরিক সাহায্য, বন্ধুত্ব, হার না মানার মানসিকতা বইয়ের চরিত্রগুলোকে জীবন্ত করে তুলেছে। বুড়ি দাদির কথাটা মনে থাকবে সারাজীবন। সমাপ্তিটা খুবই সুন্দর।

Probably one of my favourite manga series. Cute slice of life manga with two things that I love: art and village life.
October 11, 2019
Beautiful full circle poetic end to the series.
World: The art has been great the entire series, the line work is simple but it gives the book a very light and simple tone and feel to it that makes the small village something special and mundane at the same time. Then there is the characters which are emotive and beautifully realised. The world building is great, this is the final arc and there is a lot of full circle going on here, all the little pieces along the way are used here to really bring this book to a close.
Story: The story is just as it was, the end sneaks up on you but with a lot of character arcs fully realised and the ideas of what’s to come left in a beautiful open. I love how the final parts were about Naru and Sensei and how that tractor ride and the art calls back to the first book, it’s so good. The sense of community and belonging is well done here and the sense of finding a way and what’s important in life is also done very well. This series does what it does and it does it so well, slice of life with small little emotions and interactions that speaks more than dialog.
Characters: Sensei is so good, his journey is wonderfully realised and Naru although it seems nothing much has happened to her but she also has grown. It’s unspoken and does not need to be spoken but the bond between them is so strong and so wonderfully earned. The bond that the villagers have with each other is also muted and deep and heart felt also. The characters of this book really grow on you.
There is a sense of change and a sense of home and a sense of belonging in this end that is beautiful and yet not super melodramatic. Wonderful.
Onward to the next book!

When I started this series, I was skeptical about how much I could like a manga. I'd basically never read one and thought it would just be silly.
That changed pretty early on, and I read this series slowly over a couple of years. And now that it's over, I'm really glad I did. This was warm and clever and earnest and funny. For a bunch of books you can pick up and read in under an hour each, I was surprised when I realized how often I think about them.
This is a great series with sweet, now familiar characters. I won't forget it.

"Ayo kita saling menolong, bukankah itu yang bagus dari hidup di desa. Ayo saling terbuka." Scene setelah kalimat ini bikin nangis banget :')
Apalagi gak nyangka perasaan Naru ke bapaknya itu, walau ditinggal kayak gitu, gak ada jelek-jeleknya. Anak baik :'))))

Full Series Review
Specific reviews of: Volumes 1-3, Volume 4-6, Volumes 7-9
This was a lovely, fun series--much more heartwarming than I expected, since I read the overtly-comic Handa-kun prequel series first. It was a slow start, and it took several volumes to settle in and make you care about the characters. Which is basically how the main character lives, now that I think about it.
In a nutshell, a talented younger calligrapher basically gets exiled from Tokyo to a rural island village to spend time focusing on his craft (and also to run away after punching a well-respected man), and finds that people, but especially the children, will not leave him alone. It's a found family story, and one of my favorite types, where one person is drawn in kicking and screaming because he does NOT want to make human connections, and it's only grudgingly over the course of several months that he begins to thaw.
Not to say the main character is an asshole. He's not, at least not intentionally. The son of a prominent calligrapher, he's been raised in a fancy-calligraphy-upper-class bubble his entire life, and that coupled with being a young-twenties guy who's never had to take care of himself, he just...doesn't know half the manners he should. Or how to cook.
So you don't particularly feel sorry for him when the local middle schoolers mock him for not knowing how to fish, or when he gets called out for rudeness. You get to see him evolve over the course of the series--and there's a good amount of humor in there, so it's not a painful read.
The highlight, the core of the story, the thing that drives everything else, is his relationship with a 7-year-old who takes one look at this spacey, clueless, uptight 23-year-old walnut from Tokyo and basically goes, "that's my new dad" then proceeds to invade his house on a daily basis and eventually forces him to focus on something outside himself.
I repeat: found family trope aww yessssssss

Stays true to the spirit of the entire series. While I still think this manga went for longer than was welcome, all in all it's one of the best slice of life comedy mangas I have ever read.
Cute, quirky, heartfelt and relatable. The cast of characters brought something so mundane as "nothing ever really happens" its charm. This volume closes the story of Barakamon, a trip through memory lane, callbacks to the first volume and how far the characters, especially Handa, has come.

One year in Nanatsutake Village. Has Handa-sensei truly learned anything? Other than managing small wood-burning hearths, growing daikon radishes, trawling for squid, and resolving all manner of minute cultural differences, Seishuu Handa is still a bit of a head case. He's jumpy when it comes to being socially proactive, he's reclusive when it comes to taking credit for his own hard work, and the centeredness that typically comes with humility is so uniquely discomfiting to him that the guy finds it downright stressful.
Still, Handa is Handa, and in BARAKAMON #18, readers engage an appropriate farewell to the young calligrapher. Not to say he's actually going anywhere. Previous volumes of the manga affirmed, in more ways than one, how Handa-sensei plans to stay on the island for several years to come. What's important in this volume is closure. Hiroshi is attending school in Tokyo, but he still finds time to chat with sensei over the phone. Naru and her pals are officially second-graders, but still annoy sensei with every ounce of freedom they possess.
In many ways, life goes on much as it did before. But not always. Iwao-ban officially closes his liquor store. Yuuichirou takes the leap of faith and corresponds regularly with his scatterbrained daughter. Akki treads the fine balance between school life and home life. Yes, one year in Nanatsutake Village and the more things stay the same, the more they ebb into difference.
Interestingly, BARAKAMON #18 views much of this reconciliation through the eyes of Miwa. This is likely because the young woman, among the whole cast, remains the most ambivalent about lies ahead. School? Trade work? Miwa's future has been the subject of many previous chapters but it's all the more rare, and therefore more critical, to see the daughter of the liquor maven struggle, debate, bicker, and reason with herself until a viable solution emerges. This volume hits a few deep, emotional notes, some of which are expected. But the manga's dedication to seeing Miwa come to grips with the failing family business, the rerouting of her father's ambitions, and the craggy cliffs of adulthood she must climb to discern what is best for herself make for honest, wholesome storytelling.
Visually, Yoshino's final volume includes the requisite dedication to more elaborate background artwork, sharper and more consistent character models, and a prodigious layering of gestures and expressions running the gamut from humorous dull shock to softer, more reconciliatory sadness. When these characters are drawn so expertly, it's hard not to fall in love with them all over again. Sure, one wishes there were more than two panels dedicated the lovely disaster that is Jou Tatenaga. Sure, one wishes there was more than a single chapter dedicated to acknowledging Tama's skill and her winning an honorable mention in a manga writing contest. And sure, one wishes Handa-sensei actually wrote calligraphy rather than simply blabbing about it. But alas, the charm of Barakamon is not that its characters do precisely what they should or precisely what one wants them to do, rather, it's the opposite. The manga series is thoroughly charming because its characters do whatever comes to them naturally -- no matter how resolutely awkward, embarrassing, spontaneous or selfless.

In Summary
The series concludes! It doesn’t exactly go out with a whimper, but it’s not a strong finish. Some loose ends get wrapped up, like Naru’s relationship with her dad, but Yoshino-sensei oddly chooses to introduce a couple new elements with the story about to close. As for our main character Handa, he merely exhibits his usual immature behavior for the last chapters.
The Review
It’s been a year since Handa arrived at the island, and this final installment notes how the characters have moved forward over that time. Some progressions are mundane. The kids advance another grade in school but are otherwise exactly the same. The notable exception is Tama, who achieves a significant milestone when her work gets published as an honorable mention in a manga contest. The subject of that work, however, is a massive detour from her usual genre and turns into a bit of a running joke.
Unlike Tama, who’s been diligently working at her mangaka dream, Miwa has been more a giant goof-off, but in this final volume, Miwa decides to become a brewer. Because she’s the flaky type, I took it as a joke at first, but apparently she’s serious. (Or as serious as Miwa can get.) I found it rather sudden, nearly as sudden as her dad shutting down his store to take a job on Yuuichirou’s ship. Overall, the timing feels odd because there wasn’t foreshadowing for either development, and because the series is ending, we don’t actually get to see Miwa set out on the path of the brewer or how she adjusts to life without her dad at home.
An arc that actually achieves a kind of resolution, however, is the relationship between Naru and her dad. Theirs is definitely not the typical parent-child dynamic, but it starts to shift in that direction with some help from Miwa and Handa. Unfortunately, it is not entirely satisfying because we never get any information on Naru’s mom, nor does Naru show any interest in learning about her.
As for Handa, this final installment has him growing into his calligraphy teacher role although he remains as immature as his students. This is evidenced by the final chapter in which the now second-grade kids designate Handa their substitute first-grader at the school’s first years welcome party. While the villagers have become accustomed to Handa and he’s found a way to support himself, he hasn’t changed that much.
Extras include translation notes.

Barakamon is hands down my favorite slice-of-life manga.
I first finished the anime when I was in middle school, and Handa Seishuu's struggles really resonated with me. Whenever I feel down or lost, I go back and rewatch it. I've lost count of how many times I've done that!
I finally decided to read the manga and it was just as amazing. The humor, the heart, and the deep life lessons—it all just hit me right in the feels. I'm so glad I read the whole thing.
The story about life on Goto Island and Handa's journey of self-discovery are truly special. I love how the manga delves deeper into his thoughts and feelings. It's a story that's made me laugh, cry, and think about life in a whole new way. I'm so grateful for this series. It's a reminder to always be kind and to appreciate the beauty in everyday life.

I hate giving this less than five stars, because Barakamon has been consistently delivering 5-star quality throughout its entire run, but this one was a bit... underwhelming.
Maybe I'm partly to blame, because with this being the final volume in the series, I was hyping myself up for an emotional ending and some sort of closure... but we don't get any of that here. In fact, it felt like it could be replaced in its order with almost any other volume. It's funny, as always, but I was expecting more.
Still - I'm sad to see this series end. It's really been an absolute pleasure following Handa's journey.

Well written ending to an overall wholesome and heartwarming series.
Lots of great wrapping up, while allowing the reader to envision the everyday of the characters' happily ever after.
The manga didn't drag on too long, ending it at a healthy point (even though I would have been happy to read several more volumes!).

What a beautiful wrap up to the series! Truly I have enjoyed the journey with not just Handa but all the villagers! They were so delightful to get to know and it truly brought joy to my heart to be able to see the growth that Handa went on!
