A sports festival between rival villages gets way too intense..

[Tina · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume does a wonderful and honest take on some serious issues in the villager's lives (while still keeping that "warm" feeling that this manga has in general). The art and storytelling of Barakamon has always been pretty, but I noted that it got even better after the mangaka started doing the sidestory Handa-kun. The character-design got more defined and the art-style feels more sure somehow (more bold and clean lines?). And yes, in every volume lately my brain is screaming "HIROSHI, DON'T GOOOOOO!". I totally agree with the story; he should chase his dreams and take the chance to grow as a person, but I don't want him to leave the story. I adore Hiroshi!

Fun little sports festival.

World: Fun art that drives some beautiful character emotions. World building is small and intimate with some nice little touches of town life.

Story: Fun tale of town sports meet and growth of characters. Nice stuff with Hiro which has been long time coming. I like the strong focus on the two events and the building of the feeling of town and community.

Characters: Great work with Hiro and wonderful stuff with the townsfolk were well done.

Love it.

Onward to the next book!

More about village life....this time a competition that Sensei gets involved in.

[Beckiezra · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really feel like every chapter builds on the past now, not just random slices of life which was my issue earlier in this series. Lots of good things happen in this volume and I can’t wait to get the next ones from the library. I also want to reread the Handa-Kun series so I can remember the Dash issue and know if that’s the other villager. The end notes failed me this time, there were a number of things I wanted some more explanation about but there were fewer translation notes than usual and they were for things I didn’t care about nearly as much like random shop signs in Nagasaki I barely bothered to read.

This series is so great. It's funny and wholesome, and it always has me chuckling and smiling. Well, almost always. Last volume dealt with some heavier, but very real, themes. Those are also part of daily life, and I felt they were handled well, but it still hurt. This volume, by contrast, was a lot more light hearted. Even with those few panels with that one character looking like a serial killer. Nothing came of it (or at least, nothing has come of it yet). All in all, it was a great volume in a wonderful series and I'm looking forward to the next volume. I've already requested it.

It's full steam ahead for the village as they try to win their annual sports festival... luckily they have a shoe in... being Handa in the relay race. This is the first volume where I truly start to feel that Handa is wanting to be and stay apart of the village life! No matter how quirky !! But it was also super adorable for Hiroshi to start to try to find his way and his future and what that may look like without the island!!

[Rio · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loving this manga so much!

Barakamon is so good. This is too good to be missed out. I'm loving the slice of life and everything about this manga. Handa's mood swings are so relatable. Conclusion, this manga is a whole new world. Truly a masterpiece! Please give it a read. Ps: Barakamon also has an anime version!

[Nazish Ahmed (Nazish Reads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Hiroshi was so relatable here with being so nervous for an interview and being in crowds. What's worse is that it was a group interview, those are the worst😬 I feel for him. Also, he's the only person on the island who seems more normal than Handa.

Inter-village sports festival!
Results of the amateur manga contest!
Hiro's first job interview! "The Big City" (Nagasaki) is overwhelming. It's okay, Hiro, I was confused by the train station the first time, too.

[Santi S. Aisyah · Rating 3 out of 5]

Baca Barakamon selalu ada yg bikin diam menerung, bahkan setelah cekikikan..
Daya tarik cerita atau yg bikin cerita? Yg pasti, daya tarik itu yg bikin saya pgn baca lagi volume2 lainnya.. good job author!!👏👏

After over a year of not being able to get more volumes of this series, my library finally got volumes 8 and 9 in, with volume 10 on order. I'm reminded again, after reading volume 8, what a charming series this is about a small village on the Goto Islands in Japan.

These are so cute I want more.

[Andy Febrico Bintoro · Rating 3 out of 5]

Filler and filler and filler to the point telling stories not related to the main character.

Bakalan jadi lomba desa terkonyol sepanjang sejarah perlombaan 🤣🤣

3.5

A good manga, but more slice-of-life and less hard-hitting than the previous volume. The story is still really fun, and I really liked the Nagasaki scenes as well. It was also fun to see Handa becoming a part of the village.

[Katie❄️ · Rating 4 out of 5]

What’s funny is how you know about Handa’s running from Handa-Kun. 😁

[Saurabh Modi · Rating 5 out of 5]

Well written, funny. This featured a tournament within the village. Not the most original, but it’s a fun arc. Hiroshi is figuring out his career path, that was explored well too.

[Whitley · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm so glad I picked up this series.

[Sierra Dean · Rating 4 out of 5]

This series is such a perfect comfort read. What's the conflict? A small town relay. That's it. I could read 1000 volumes of this series

[Khari · Rating 5 out of 5]

話は書道やなると半田の関係から離れているが結構好きだった。

島の村人の体操会編は面白くて何回も笑わせた。

ヒロシの面接編も笑ったがそれより同感した。新しい場所に行って新しい経験して怖いことだ。他の人と面接するのはいやだ、自分を比べるし。私の面接いつも一人よかったと思う。
