Manga Review: Barakamon, Volume 17, by Satsuki Yoshino


Rating (Out of 5): ~4
Publisher: Yen Press
Release Date: February 2019
Volumes: 18 (+1).
Spoilers?: No.
Volume: 1. 16. 18.

Goodreads Synopsis:

Spring is coming, but without Hiroshi, the villagers are in a bit of a funk. What will Handa-sensei do to cheer everyone up? Find out in Volume 17 of this hot 'n' hearty island comedy!

Review:

Everyone's feeling Hiroshi's absence, and Handa attempts to make his mother feel better by being him, though that fails, of course. Handa-sensei is not the same as Hiroshi, even with blond hair.
Aside from that bit, a new film-making couple arrives in town, and invades their space. Of course, there's some misunderstandings, since this is an odd small town. We also get to see some fishing, and later everyone gets together to clean up the village. They're a very close-knit group of people.
I believe the next volume is the last, and I look forward to seeing how this series wraps up. It's been a lot of fun, and the characters have gone through a bit of growing and change.
