Barakamon, Vol. 18

Barakamon is one of those mangas that it's just hard to hate. City boy moves to rural area, meets country folk, bumbles along until he fits in. Sound like Green Acres? Yep. I hate that it's over, but love that there's hope for everyone. With any luck there will be a follow up? Handa Kun was okay, but I'd like to see more about how the future goes for everyone.

Great end to a great series. Can't wait for the next volume!

This manga never fails to make me smile and gives me different feelings. Wish the anime has season 2. Will definitely continue buying it.

A fitting end for a slice of look life, such a feel good series. I could use more of the mini comic that the characters made.

If you've enjoyed this story from the start, including it's pace and wandering story then you'll be pleased with this final volume. Part of me wishes there was more or a follow on story, but I must admit I just could not get on with the pre-story Handa-Kun.

Handa's journey from the first volume, to the conclusion in this final volume, has been a delight to read.The end leaves you feeling both sad that it's over, yet satisfied at it's conclusion.A must read to anyone looking to finish Handa's story of misadventures on an island of colourful characters.

I can not recall how much fun and meaningful moments i have experienced through reading this series. It is always emotional when saying good bye and thank you for a very special manga deserved a special place in my heart.
