For many, Barakamon is one of their favorite slice of life anime series. Yet, most people don’t know that the anime is a literal drop in the bucket of what the manga is. It is still the most chill slice of life series with virtually no conflict, but there is a lot more of it and the characters are more fleshed out.

Where To Start The Barakamon Manga After The Anime?
If you finished the Barakamon anime and wish to continue the story with the manga, you can start at Chapter 53.
The anime adapts through all of Volume 6.
If you also watched the prequel spin-off, Handa-kun, you can start the corresponding Handa-kun manga series after the anime at Chapter 32.
What to Expect From The Barakamon Manga?
Barakamon, while often being about random little adventures, does have a bit of a linear plot of character development going on. As such, while it does skip and change some smaller events, the anime does actually follow the manga quite well.
You don’t need to read the manga from the beginning unless you want to.
Is The Barakamon Manga Over?
The Barakamon manga is complete. It ended in 2018 with Chapter 134.
The Handa-kun spin-off is also complete. It ended in 2016 with Chapter 34.
Will There Be A Barakamon Season 2?
As the Barakamon anime came out in 2014 and the manga is now long complete, I would say a Barakamon Season 2 anime is not going to happen.
