makeste | REBORN 346

NRGH I have like this list of things to do whenever I have spare time and am near a computer, and it goes like, "POST PICS FROM THE HP71/2 PREMIERE" and "FINISH UP THAT MEME" and "WORK ON UNDERCOVER FIC" and "POST RECAP/REACTION POST FROM NEW CHAPTER" and only one of those things ever seems to get done! XD Well, good progress has also been made on the fic, I suppose, but not soon enough for it to actually be an Undercover fic any more, sadly. I'm still having a lot of fun with that thing, though.

Anyway, time to get to the one thing I can still manage to reliably do on the Internet.

THIS COVER IS DEFECTIVE

WHERE IS GOKUDERA'S FACE?? WHAT IS THIS. SHITT P! DAMN YOU.

THE ONE REDEEMING VIRTUE THIS COVER STILL HAS IS THAT JULIE AND ADELHEID LOOK LIKE THEY ARE PREPARED TO NICK OUT OF THERE AT THE SOONEST OPPORTUNITY AND GO HAVE SLOPPY MAKEOUTS.
ONE WEEK AFTER DEFEATING DAEMON, WE ARE BACK TO DAILY LIFE! Well damned if this doesn't look like my very favorite kind of chapter!
"Crap, I'm gonna be late! I'm gonna get bit to death!" So... does Hibari just like, stand outside the entrance to the school maiming anyone that dares to walk in thirty seconds late? And does he have a list of students that he checks off so that afterwards he can nip off and maim all of the truants as well? Namimori must have an astonishingly good attendance record. Other schools are probably so impressed that they visit hoping to get tips, and leave incredibly traumatized.
*MAKESTE FINISHES TYPING HER POINTLESS TANGENTS AND ACTUALLY READS THE NEXT PANEL!* ...oh. Well, just. Ignore everything I typed above, whatever.
I just adore the concept of Reborn lazily doin' his thing while Tsuna plays hours and hours of Portal 2 or whatnot, only for Reborn to unplug the system at the last second. Almost as much as I adore the notion of Tsuna then staying up in the wee hours of the night just because the thought of going to bed without those levels re-beaten would have haunted his dreams. HOORAY FOR OUR EVERYMAN MAIN CHARACTER.
OH NO, ENMA'S WORST ENEMY, DOGS! Damn, it's a good thing Spade never knew about this. If he'd just used dogs against them instead of his crazy body-parts-where-they-don't-belong illusions, we might not be watching this scene today because FUCK, DOGS, THEY ARE UNSTOPPABLE KILLING MACHINES.
ALSO CARS! CARS ARE ALSO TERRIBLE. Damn, I love these guys. Pit them against the evilest, most fabulous villains imaginable and break every bone in their body and they're just like, "YAWN" but drop them back off in the real world for five minutes and they are just barely hanging on. MY SPECIAL BOYS. ♥
I love that Shitt P's space tricycle has a big sign on the top that actually says "SHITT P!"
lolol the stalker has become the stalkee! TAKE EVASIVE ACTION, GOKUDERA. HEAVEN FORBID WE ACTUALLY SEE YOUR FACE IN THIS CHAPTER, WHAT THE FLYING FUCK SERIOUSLY.
Lambo did you seriously go off in the middle of the night to play with a guy who once tried to kill you? YOU'RE ADORABLE. And Large, you actually got up at 3 fucking am to entertain this half-witted child? You're... well, you're not so adorable, really! You are just actually really strange!
SIDE NOTE: I thought Japan used 24 hour notation, presumably so that this exact sort of wacky scenario would not occur?
OH MY GOD VINDICE REALLY DID LET MUKURO OUT OF PRISON?! BECAUSE OF HIS "EFFORTS" IN THE BATTLE AGAINST DAEMON? I take that to mean they were just as tickled at his adorable owl antics as the rest of us.
Also Hibari continues the adorableness trend in this chapter with his continued determination to beat the crap out of Mukuro. I really must see this with my own eyes, I hope Amano doesn't pull another Gokudera on us or something.
So "cleansing" = "liquidation", right? I assume the correction was made after Adelheid's speech back during her own fight with Hibari. At any rate, Tsuna, you had better TUCK IN YOUR SHIRT or else you are in for a world of pain. Delivered by Adelheid, which I for one would consider well worth it, but whatever that is just my personal opinion!
OH MY LORD

I THINK SOMEWHERE ALONG THIS PAGE I JUST DIED OF HAPPINESS AND LULZ. XD

Julie you suave son of a bitch, don't even try to pretend you did not enjoy your girlfriend manhandling you into a net and tying you to a tree. The only thing that pissed you off was that she then went and did it to two other guys right afterward. POOR JULIE.
--I LOVE THEIR RELATIONSHIP omg omg it's like Han and Leia, Ron and Hermione, Wash and Zoe, all of my all-time favorite dynamics right here in my favorite manga, mmmmph! *EXPLODES INTO A PILE OF HEARTS*
SUDDENLY, KYOKO! WHERE DID YOU COME FROM.
HIT BY A METEOR SFLDKJ FDJSKSJKK
ADELHEID SMASH looooooool I LOVE EVERYTHING.
Yama and Kaoru! Playing ball together again first thing in the morning for some reason! ♥ This is super sweet and nostalgic, as long as Kaoru never accidentally drops his secret hit list papers on the locker room floor again afterward.
THE WORST PUNISHMENT IS APPARENTLY BEING HUNG FROM THE ROOF OF THE SCHOOL. Lol, this chapter rounds out the list of Makeste's favorite things ever by including ridiculous panels of Tsuna and Enma being upside-down bros. The only thing that could possibly make this chapter any better is GOKUDERA'S FUCKING FACE, OH MY GOD.
"YOU REMIND ME OF GIOTTO AND COZART" he says as though he knew them personally! REBORN ARE YOU JUST BEING A WEIRDO OR IS THERE A REASON FOR YOUR SECRETIVE SMILES? God only knows. God, and Yamamoto. :/
OH MY GOD ARE WE REALLY HAVING A FLASHBACK WITHIN A FLASHBACK? HOW META.
OH MY LORD TINY SIMONS. *_*
MAGGIE YOU LIVE ON AN ISLAND PARADISE AND YOUR DAD IS SIMON FUCKING COZART, STOP COMPLAINING AND ENJOY YOUR FANTASTIC LIFE.
Damn you Cozart, your wistful face and inexplicable decision to get married to some mysterious woman (though I completely understand given that she looks exactly like Adelheid, and Adelheid would turn anyone straight/gay/Adelheidsexual) and NEVER SEE GIOTTO OR THE VONGOLA AGAIN is a real downer.
FFFF seriously, does anyone out there actually understand the logic of this? COZART AND GIOTTO, ALL OF YOUR DECISIONS ARE STUPID.
And I don't care what anyone says, not only are the tenth gen Vongola and Simon absolutely 100% reincarnations of the first generation, but Cozart and Giotto clearly planned it out and somehow knew all along that it was going to happen. THAT IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE WAY THAT ANY OF IT MAKES ANY SENSE. Someone in the Vongola/Simon families can see the future. And someone else knows some Mukuro magic illusion reincarnation bullshit. And there is a very good chance that that second someone is either an Arcobaleno or Bemuda fucking von Vichtenstein, CURSE THAT MYSTERIOUS MAN.

So, next arc, you had better start ANSWERING SOME QUESTIONS, is all I'm saying. We shall see!

Damn, I love these guys. Pit them against the evilest, most fabulous villains imaginable and break every bone in their body and they're just like, "YAWN" but drop them back off in the real world for five minutes and they are just barely hanging on.

I positively adore how terrible they are at everyday life. It's beautiful.

SIDE NOTE: I thought Japan used 24 hour notation, presumably so that this exact sort of wacky scenario would not occur?

I think people just say 3時 most of the time, unless they're specifically saying AM/PM. Not sure, though.

I think Kyoko is enjoying all the ridiculous lies people are telling her! Someday they will try to really explain the mafia to her, and she will blink innocently and go "Oh, but wasn't it a sumo tournament organized by space aliens?"

To your last bullet point: YES. Nothing makes any sense at all otherwise.

. . . THE DANGEROUS DAILY LIFE OF THE VARIA. Yes please! I don't even care if it gives us any answers, I just want to see Squalo eating instant ramen or something.
