ITP: KHR.

[makeste]

Damn good KHR, at that.

\o/

• "Conflicted" indeed. TSUNA PLEASE DON'T HAVE A BREAKDOWN AGAIN. Or maybe do? The occasionally sadistic angst lover in me sometimes doesn't know what she wants. ;_;
  
• WELL LOOKY HERE! Just the guys I've been wanting to see! So they've been watching this whole fight broadcast live in Spade-O-Vision this whole time? WERE THERE COMMERCIALS? Commercial breaks brought to you by our sponsor, Daemon Spade? Oh my God.
  
• I hope Gokudera learned a thing or two about how to really make the best use of that C.A.I. He takes notes on everything else, so PAY ATTENTION, CHILD.
  
• ENMA DON'T SHOUT ABOUT DYING LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL DAMMIT, it makes me too sad.
  
• Looking at this page, I can't help but think the real reason Amano brought the others back was so she could have the reaction panels once again. XD Reborn and Chrome just really aren't the most expressive people around, and while Owlkuro is AMAZING, there are limits to the emotions his feathered face can display. Gokudera, Yamamoto, and Lambo, on the other hand, are just open books, and Julie is even shaking his FIST, god bless him. So I think this was a wise call.
  
• "CAN YOU NOT HEAR ME FROM HERE?!" Julie, for the longest time I thought this was what your actual possessed life had been like, and then when I found out you didn't remember anything, I was almost happy because I had been picturing a really miserable existence. But now I'm thinking that in reality the whole thing would have been more hilarious than angsty, so idk. Now I almost regret it a little.
  
• Tsuna, he used the word 'incinerate' several times, I think he's aware of the risks involved here!
  
• bawww his hesitation is killing their chances, AND YET, I very much prefer my Enmas non-incinerated, so I can't really complain here!
  
• Wow, Spade, and then you just had to start talking again! This guy's mouth is so going to be his undoing. I really am starting to think it's involuntary on his part. He physically can't help being a total asshole.
  
• Man, Mukuro, you spent your entire life loathing the mafia, and then the one mafia boss who isn't a complete dickhead comes along and all you do is complain because he isn't ruthless enough. YOU ARE NEVER SATISFIED, YOU WILL NEVER FIND TRUE HAPPINESS LIKE THIS!
  
• HOLY SMOKES, I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE TSUNA FACE EVER. OH MY GOD. This is by far the most emotion we've ever seen on Hyper!Tsuna's face. It's amazing. *heaps admiration onto Amano's art skills yet again*
  
• Please don't think I'm not totally digging Reborn's speech, because I am, and right now I am totally filled to bursting with mad Tsuna love, but seeing as this is the third panel we've gotten of Gokudera and Lambo I just can't hold it back anymore--IS HE SITTING IN GOKUDERA'S LAP, OR WHAT. IS THAT ACTUALLY HAPPENING, LIKE IF I WERE TO DRESS THEM UP IN BUTTON-UP SHIRTS AND TIES AND TAKE A PICTURE RIGHT NOW WOULD IT ACTUALLY BE THE CHRISTMAS CARD POSE I AM ENVISIONING? TOO ADORABLE FOR WORDS.
  
• But seriously, Reborn's speech = A+.
  
• And looky here, it's an emotional Enma face to match Tsuna's from a couple pages back! This chapter has officially won me over completely, and we're only on what, page 6? COMMENCING GIDDINESS... NOW.
  
• OH MY GOD this is agonizing. Boy Tsuna, I sure don't envy you right now, floating there facing this impossible decision. 8| *sits back and watches intently from the comfort of my computer chair, Tsuna, you sucker*
  
• JULIIIIIIIIIE omg your starry-eyed boss-admiring face is beautiful and almost made me tear up and I just LOVE YOU SO HARD, you big dork. You and your manly chin tuft. T______T
  
• On the one hand, it is a general belief of mine that it is wisest to always always do the opposite of whatever Spade says, but on the other hand...! HOLY SHIT, CHAPTER TITLE, YOU SURE AS HELL WERE NOT KIDDING!!
  
• CHROME ARE YOU GOING TO SAVE THE DAY?? I honestly have no idea what's going to happen, it is pretty thrilling, actually! This is the first time in a very long time that I have experienced this feeling with this manga!
  
• --SHE IS GOING TO SAVE THE DAY 8O 8O 8D
  
• ENMA ARE YOU BLUSHING OH MY GOD I AM HAVING LIKE A FANGIRL HEART ATTACK FROM EVERY SINGLE PANEL OF THIS CHAPTER SO FAR, IT'S GETTING TO BE TOO MUCH, I DON'T THINK I CAN TAKE IT, LIKE EVERY SINGLE THING I AM READING IS MAKING ME SO THRILLED I FEEL LIKE PUNCHING A HOLE IN THE CEILING AND PUNCTUATING ALL OF MY SENTENCES WITH ELECTRIC RAINBOW EXCLAMATION POINTS!!
  
• I see Amano finally gave up on trying to convey serious emotion through an adorable owl face, but man, those were some times while they lasted.
  
• Damn you, Mukuro, you were sitting there the whole time and you could have saved everyone, you selfish owl bastard? XD WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY THERE IN THE END, AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND, AT LEAST.
  
• Well, Tsuna, your plan of sitting there doing nothing and hoping desperately that something else would come along and help make this decision for you because HOLY FUCK actually paid off, you fortunate little fella! CAN I RUB YOUR HEAD FOR GOOD LUCK.
  
• In all seriousness, the part of me that lives for shounen friendship and teamwork and your friends coming through for you just when you need them the most is glowing very warmly and I feel like giving the whole world a giant hug right about now. Or maybe just giving it a brofist.
  
• "WAIT!! DON'T SHOOT!!" oh my god I fucking died.
  
• I AM SO PUMPED RIGHT NOWWWWWWW GO TSUNA GO
  
• SKADOOSH.
  
• EVERYTHING BLEW UP OMG OMG omg omg I. must stop. hyperventilating. and go dance around a little bit and hope that my jaw is not too sore tomorrow morning from the ridiculous amount of grinning I am doing right now, today.
  
• FUCK YES, KHR. NOW THAT WAS A MOTHERFUCKING CHAPTER. |D


Well, that sure was a fun week. I will make every attempt to get back to a regular updating schedule again starting with the next chapter, everyone. THIS IS MY PROMISE, INSPIRED BY THE RUGGED MANLINESS OF SAWADA TSUNAYOSHI AND HIS BAND OF CAN-DO BACKUP CHARACTERS, AND HEROIC SELF-SACRIFICING BOYFRIEND KOZATO ENMA, WHO FORTUNATELY IS STILL ALIVE AFTER ALL, AND DAEMON SHOULD BE HAPPY ABOUT THAT SINCE HE WAS SO VERY CONCERNED ABOUT HAVING ALL THOSE WITNESSES AND ALL. Thank you, Daemon, it turned out to be a blast. <3

SEE? I TOLD YOU. 341 was the best fucking thing in this arc. Unbiased, of course. Because I would say all 002700 centric chapters were great.

AHEM. I loved all the sparkly shounen goodness and pretty Tsuna and Enma panels and omg Enma just blushed at Chrome afldkjldfjfsdksf I KIND OF SHIP IT?!?!?!? but then Mukuro got all jelly and resigned to protect them both asfkgjkdfjkg and everyone just...came through for Tsuna because they know it wasn't in him to be a ruthless mafia leader and that's what they all love about him. afglkdjgkfjd

I fucking loved this chapter. CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK.

Also since you're reading Mangastream you missed out on a huge canon EnmaTsuna hint on this page because they...sometimes suck at translating. The last thing Reborn said on this page and onto the pretty Enma panel was "It's because Tsuna is like that, Enma can put his life on the line without any hesitation"

[storm-obsession.livejournal.com]

Skadoosh is the perfect verb for that scene, yep.
But if this were Bleach (and I'm hoping Amano isn't learning from it) Daemon would be completely okay, then laugh like "HAHA IS THAT ALL THE VONGOLA HAS" and then thrash everyone.
I thought it was epic how Mukuro collaspes into Reborn's arms. That would have been scarring if Mukuro weren't in owl form.

I love it when Tsuna looks like a Sexy Heavy-Lidded God of Badass...

...but the giant Nuts face always kills it for me. :(

All in all, though, this was a great chapter. Chrome finally comes through and gets to be useful! Even if her efforts had to be "improved" by her man Mukurowl. Yay!

I swear when I read this chapter I was so. So. Happy. I went and capslocked at half my contacts on MSN and A LOT OF THEM DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT REBORN IS so YEAH THEY THOUGHT I WAS PRETTY NUTS... BUT I DON'T CARE. THAT CHAPTER WAS JUST LIKE ONE GIGANTIC ORGASM.

NEW FAVORITE TSUNA FACE. Our kid grew up to be such a boss. *sniffle*

Actually, this was just an amazing chapter all around. Reborn's speech! Chrome saving the day (even if she needed help)!* Julie being hilarious! Blowing up Spade! It was the kind of chapter I dream about, really.

Much lol at Spade's "WAIT!! DON'T SHOOT!!!" Sorry, man, but one thing we have all learned in our long acquaintance with you is don't do what you tell us to do. (And I love that Tsuna actually didn't wait. It hasn't been that long since Byakuran's death, and before that he would have grabbed any excuse not to kill anyone no matter what.)

I honestly have no idea what's going to happen, it is pretty thrilling, actually! This is the first time in a very long time that I have experienced this feeling with this manga!

EVERY SINGLE THING I AM READING IS MAKING ME SO THRILLED I FEEL LIKE PUNCHING A HOLE IN THE CEILING AND PUNCTUATING ALL OF MY SENTENCES WITH ELECTRIC RAINBOW EXCLAMATION POINTS!!

Yes! It was such a good feeling. I had this niggling feeling of 'but what if it's another fakeout and someone grabs her away from her chance?' but then no no no SHE GETS TO BE AMAZING FOR REAL, FUCK YEAH CHROME. "I'll protect him!" ILU, GIRL. ♥ ♥ ♥

I love Tsuna's giant firestorm.

SHOUNEN FRIENDSHIP SAVES THE DAY, AW YEAH. Despite all the creepy and the wtf and Daemon Spade's inexplicable random body parts, this arc turned out pretty damn good. Can't wait for the next chapter.

*This should really be in giant blinking sparkly text, but I have to leave soon. Anyway: CHROME. ♥

(Hey there! I don't think I've commented, but I just want to say I really love your commentaries.)

The best part of this chapter was, in my opinion, the beautiful moment when Chrome, the person Spade spent chapters upon chapters being gross towards, becomes the one reason enabling his epic burnination. The poetic justice was just wonderful.
