----------------------------------------
Hmm, I thought it was an alright episode especially with the home econ class. I love how Handa is trying to make food but almost manages to set the room on fire lmao. Definitely comedy gold moment.

The food they made probably tasted strange lol
Still a funny episode, really amused at how they portray Handa at school as an outcast and trying to avoid almost everyone. Also glad to see Kawafuji getting some screen time.

Handa-kun was asked to give print to a boy who looked like a girl in the photo, but he is actually delinquent looking guy. He really got bullied a year ago, but he trained himself to be stronger. Wow @ the rumor about Handa-kun by the group. lol @ his misunderstanding that lead him to go to school again.

Cooking class and Handa-kun doesn't want to cook. 4th member looking from besides of how the fans are adoring Handa-kun and scared of Handa-kun. His scary expression of making pudding.

Megane guy is Handa-kun's friend, but Handa-kun doesn't want to get him involved in "hate" (his misunderstanding). Handa-kun keeps hiding himself with his friend when others showed up. Though he's the one who made Handa-kun not trust others out of jealousy (sort of?), and feeling funny.

Another three stories next.

Oh hey, they adapted the previously skipped Kawafuji-centric chapter 2 of the manga as this week's third segment...nice. XD Cooking was fun too, and of course Chapter 5 that introduced us to Tsutsui who looks nothing like his picture! XD What a difference some bullying and a product purchase can make huh? XD Well Handa inadvertently made another follower. They even included Volume 1's other omake at the end. This is around the point I put the manga on hold though so I'll probably wait for subs before commenting beginning next week.

I loved the part how much Tsutsui's appearance had changed in a year!

The cooking part was alright!

The part about the eraser and the ending after the credit made me laughed so hard!

He was a dick though... see how traumatised he got Handa and his jealously is at fault. Handa could've had the school beauty as his girlfriend, but his best friend was jealous cause he couldn't get her..

I thought Kawafuji was a nice guy until that last part, changed my mind immediately after that flashback T__T -stamps on him again and again because he's obviously not showing any remorse at all EVEN YEARS LATER-

Lovely episode again, can't wait for the next episode already!

LOL! So Kawafuji was the source behind all of these? Pity Handa-kun >.< this episode makes me think he needs a hug. Just need to protect him.

Akane really looked like a girl b4 he became truant, really causing some guys to fall for him. But it doesn't make sense how his apperance looks completely different . Damn the puberty xDD
And the last part after the ending credit though XDD

Great episode, This one was really funny.

How the hell do all these rumors about Handa start in the first place?xD
Akane chamged.... A lot.
The pudding fell down :( , Handa was distraught :3

The lead inside the eraser made me laugh a lot. Poor Handa always the victim XD

Hahaha, Kawafuji XD It was you all along.

Well that's seems tragic but also funny. About Akane's "transformation".
And for the second one plus Kawafuji and minus Eraser, I guess now that all the team have finally gathered and time to get "serious" next episode. LOL

All those comments about Kawafuji, and I'm just like...Yukio is a nice character, funny how he's the only one who doesn't get Handa's appeal and actually understands what he feels !

Some might find the misunderstandings annoying, but this is perfect. Handa walking away when big guy thought he would have his back. Ahaha.

'Handa was purer than pure' aw, I found that quote cute.
Thorough this ep, I don't know why, I thought that it would have been quite funny if Handa had Tomokazu Sugita voice (Gintoki's seiyuu), but how it is right now is perfect.
I liked pretty much this ep🙆

And Kawafuji is still and asshole, but is also an absolute legend still. It would have been better if the truant was still weak and feminine rather than the stereotypical delinquent that he turned out to be.

I really hope that the misunderstandings Handa faced in high school get cleared up someday... I don't really know what to say about Kawafuji. In Barakamon, the two are good friends and Kawafuji really does support Handa. I guess Kawafuji is just a sadist. As long as Handa is safe, I guess that's all that matters. (Y)

Honestly....that misunderstanding with the eraser... Why? xD LOL, I can't believe Handa just gave her a new eraser like that, because he was afraid that she'd say something mean. Handa overreacting over pudding was gold. <3 I just wanted Naru to appear and offer Sensei another pudding and pat his head, LOL!

That argument between the Handa gang was funny!
"I'm gonna kill you!"
"Let's see if you can, Moron!" :P Oh geez...but glad Handa's fire had the group apologize and get along again. LOL, 'cause they thought Handa made that fire for their sake. <3

It was really nice to see Akane here!! LOL when he thought Handa had his back, but our calligraphy expert literally walked away. "Come to school" was a cute note that Aizawa left behind. <3 Just glad to see him back at school :)

It's ironic that the only person Handa thinks is his friend is the only person who actually acts like a jerk towards him XP

It may be that my love for Barakamon left me with incredibly high expectations, but Handa-kun hasn't really been clicking with me and it's super disappointing 'cause it was one of my most anticipated shows before the season started. :/

Sry but I'm gonna drop this series.
Barakamon was a great series, something very special.
I don't feel the same with Handa -Kun.

For example that thing Kawafuji did to young Handa, that's not funnily sadist, that's being an *sshole.

This episode was really good, but for some reason I still can't wrap my head around this show. Something HUGE is missing from it and I can't figure it out at all. I feel like it's the introduction due to how confused I feel when I think about the show, but I can't tell for sure.

I'm honestly flummoxed. The way the first episode completely threw me off guard by having a hyper-meta discussion about Handa has fucked with my head so much that I can't watch the show without feeling off-balance.

Also, why is this series even tied to Barakamon at all? The main character could be anyone! The Calligraphy thing is barely addressed here and Handa's only development so far is that he misreads situations. They just as easily could have made this a new series with a different main character. Why Handa? It makes no sense!
