| So Sensei just left without telling anyone. nice. Great episode!!! |
 |
| this show is so good |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| Amazing episode! "I never thought this day would come, when I would reveal my hidden talent. Yes, long ago, I... read a basketball manga!" *throws a basketball for the first time*... I couldn't stop laughing xD |
| No, sensei, don't leave :'< |
| Tsundere Sensei!!!!!!!!!!! xD Lol Sensei, reading a basketball manga ≠ playing basketball Awww Sensei T_T He'll back because he didn't say any "goodbye" words to them all I don't want to feel the next episode :( VanishingKira said: Glad Naru didn't start to cry when she noticed Sensei wasn't at his house otherwise I would have cried too. Not yet.. Not yet |

| Poor Naru....the next episode will be sad... |
| Graaah Hina and Naru are just way too adorable (´ ▽｀).。ｏ♡ LOL Handa thinking he can play because he read basketball manga XDXDXD I expected him to fail but I didn't expect it'd be because of that. Tama's appearance were short but they were all hilarious as usual!! "I wish they'd blow up" ROFL I thought there would be tons of feels coming but I get the feeling next episode is just gonna be hectic with Naru and the rest trying to find Handa. The feels would most likely come only on the last episode. On that note it's very sad that this anime is ending soon. |
 |
| NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DON'T LEAVE SENSEI NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
 |
| This...anime...is...perfect. |
| Sensei is finally leaving!? Nooooo! Come back!! The festival was a fun and nice scene! That basketball skill Sensei has...even Micheal Jordan couldn't have those skills! Feel bad for Naru, Sensei left and he never finished that job for the shrine... two more episodes remain, I wonder what will happen next! |
 |
| i love this show but THE FEELS r coming |
| Argh... That was ... sad :( But still 2 episodes left :) |
 |
 I just can't with sensei's tsundere-ness! xD On the other hand tho', I don't have the heart to witness a heartbroken Naru now, I really don't. ;;___;; |
| Great episode, can't wait for next week. I wish this anime would run forever. |

| This anime is fucking amazing. That is all. |
| Ah, if only the key to being skilled at a sport was to watch a sport-themed manga/anime.... |
| I'd be that girl waiting for the newest manga. Especially since its an island with probably no wifi or internet connection lol. But I really love the festival episode and that borderline sad ending... No more episodes means no more Hina! T_T   |

"If i were to be the protagonist of a story, it would be a tragedy"  |
| Wait what he didn't tell anyone just left. |
| perfect. couldn't stop smiling when they were at the festival and then i just felt like crying |
 |
| Sen...sei? Why Sensei? The title said that you would go all together :( The ever lonely sensei made friend and now he's leaving them without a warning. He's such a shy tsundere. Well, I'm sure he'll come back after that contest. He'll win and realise that he can only write like this in that village :) Yeah, I'm sure..... The two little girls were cute in their yukata. Made Naru look more girlish :P Tama is still as crazy as ever. Love her. |

| Great episode as always, i hope he will stay on the island, at least wouldnt leave without saying goodbye to anyone. |
 |
| Soooo sad.... :[ Handa leaving without telling anyone. Even though the fireworks scene was magnificent, I couldn't help but get a little teary during it since Handa was gonna be leave soon. Not to mention, the OST was incredible during that moment. Haha, despite that though, this episode was still incredibly heartwarming. Handa finally gets to enjoy a festival while joining Naru and Hina for it. :D And lol at Handa's basketball skills. Your talents have yet to be tempered Sensei! xD |
 |
| I had to check to see if this was the last episode. Thankfully it wasn't. That ending was so sad. |

| Is he gonna stay there forever on that island or is he gonna leave? Can't wait for the next episode! |
A stupid thread deserves a stupid answer!  |
| My guess is that he will leave temporarily and find that he can't write his calligraphy when he is away from the Island. He actually didn't need to tell them he was going since Miwa was able to read it just from how he was sitting (she knows him pretty well--Miwa always best girl!). But other than his calligraphy he really doesn't have much to take him away from the Island, he doesn't have friends aside from his manager, he's not really integrated into any community. Really, the island is more of a home to him than anywhere else. |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Prepare for the feels next ep... |
| That festival was fun. Naru and Hina in yukatas are so cute. Handa tries a free throw and fails. Hahaha! That one was to be expected. Tama didn't get her manga. Haha! That ending. It's just like him to leave without telling anyone. I hope he at least says goodbye to them. |
| It makes me so sad Barakamon is ending in two episodes... This is hands down the best summer anime for me. Barakamon is one of those series you never want to end... So heartwarming and touching... Hope Handa is just leaving temporarily! Really can't wait for next week's episode! |
| I am gonna cry next episode. And its so hard to see Naru crying in next week's episode. Nice episode. The fireworks were cool. That nurse was pretty damn good. Episode 11 will be emotional. That ending Sensei pls stay. My feels are not ready. |
| A drama has a progressive thought, an emotional climax and a resolution, but our lives aren't like that. All we get day after day, are a bunch of vague anxieties that are never really resolved. - Yamazaki Kaoru (Welcome to the N.H.K) |
| I guess the teenagers understood, too bad Handa didn't stick around to tell Naru... I'm feeling kind of bad for Naru even now, all good things come to an end, in more ways than one. |
| Sensei probably doesn't realize the impact he had on the village, or he doesn't want to face the sad goodbyes. He'll come back though when he realizes what he's lost, or some shit. |

| The only thing i hate about this episode is the fact there's only 2 more weeks left. I'm not sure if I'm ready for extreme feels. Excellent episode though. Great comedy, I always love the festival themed episodes in anime, they're always the most fun. |
| Such a cute episode. It was funny to see how Sensei was like a child, curious about everything going on on the festival but, in the other hand, it was a bit sad to see how much he missed 'cos of calligraphy that now he has problems with.... |
| nooooooooooo two episodes left! :'( wardahello said: LOL those basketball skills, " I once read a basketball manga". I'm like that too at P.E, hahha Exactly me. LOL I even watched two soccer anime just to build up skills for a soccer tryout ^^; Unfortunately I wasn't sporty enough to make it. |
-MgZ_ said: Prepare for the feels next ep... Hardout! I was was like "Noooooooooo!!!" as Sensei was leaving :( How did Naru or Sensei not see eachother?! |
| Brace yourselves, the feels are coming! And I've sense them coming at the ending of this episode. I can see myself crying like a little girl when Naru realizes that Handa is gone. I predict a twelve episode full of joy and happy endings. |

Oh, no! Sensei, please don't leave :c I teared up a little bit at the end, which was pretty embarrassing because I was in the middle of class. Yet regardless of that terrible scene of the end, I thought this was one of the better episodes! Seishuu knows that he's going to leave and that his chance to enjoy the innocence and happiness on the island is running out of time, so he goes ahead and goes with all the experiences. I think the most profound part of this episode is that here, he's branching out to try all the things that he wouldn't have initially done when he first moved to the island. He helps the villagers build a wall, without deeply questioning their motives, and freely associates with them. The villagers reciprocate with affection and kindness. Additionally, he, albeit reluctantly, agrees to go to the festival with Naru and Hina, even offering to tie their yukatas and participating in all the games that he would have deemed parochial and childish when he first moved to the island, but now embraces as unique and part of the childhood which he feels he lost in his calligraphy. And it's very true. Often the prodigies in subjects- whether art, academics, or even something else- miss out on key parts of their childhoods because they're too busy training for events and concentrating on their skills. Sometimes, we all need to take a step back and relax, and enjoy what others may consider to be the vie quotidienne, but what the people who have never experienced them might consider unique, like that missing puzzle piece. Finally, the prodigies have a chance to be ordinary. And honestly, sometimes that's what they want. Being exceptional in something can be incredibly stressful. Today, I wrote an essay on whether or not we need experiences to spark creativity. Though my thesis was that we do not need experiences, I'd like to alter it- we need experiences to spark creativity, but they do not need to be unique and they can be what others consider ordinary or even mundane. Oh, how I wish I could go back and rewrite that essay, but instead I'll apply it to Barakamon. And quite interestingly, it was taking all of my restraint not to make up a "famous Japanese calligrapher from ancient times named Handa Seishuu" to use as a source in my essay, hehe. Handa has experienced things that people who live "routine" lives can only dream of- being famous, recognized on the world stage, having a life devoted to what he loves. However, on the other hand, Handa has not participated in activities which the common people might believe to be integral parts of their lives. That's why he displays such enthusiasm in playing the children's games and eating festival snacks. Even though he has tasted what many of us aspire to, he hadn't yet, until he moved to the island, been able to experience what many of us think of as common things that everyone would probably have gone through. It can be as simple as shooting a basketball, for example. Since Handa's entire life has been centered on writing, it's obvious that he probably would only have read about playing basketball, but had never done it himself. Therefore, the fact that he cannot actually shoot a basketball is not just a point of embarrassment, it's a bit of disappointment to him that the truth is, reading can only account for so many actual experiences. Vicarious reactions are quite limited. Handa is starting to discover those parts of his life that he missed out on. Yet living on the island provides more benefits, at least for him, than living in the city, because he is able to experience "childhood" and continue on his path of calligraphy fame at the same time. In the city, he will constantly be pressured to perform better, without getting a chance to relax and really enjoy the ride. The village gives him a slower pace. There are no deadlines. There are no requirements except an open mind, and even that isn't mandatory for anyone; it's something that develops over time for Handa. I'm hoping he'll realize this, it would be a pity if he trapped himself back in the city, like a bird locked within a cage. |

 |
| Sensei your inner Midorima didn't kick in this time.... DON"T LEAVE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| I was already getting the dagger in my feels when Naru was telling the other kids about all the things she was going to do with Sensei, while at the same time he was getting the call to go home. |
| Went from nearly bawling if there was another minute or two added to the end to pure elation to find out the manga is being published in the US starting next month. This series is so awesome! |
