Oho!
Well, well, well! Guess what popular Shounen Jump manga managed to get itself scanlated and then posted up at One Manga before the holy shounen trinity of Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach this week? I'll give you a hint--it's the same manga that's been ranked number 7 at OM for the past month. 8DAnd I'll give you another hint: IT'S KHR. But you already knew that, I just wanted to point it out again because it makes me happy. BECAUSE DON'T WE ALL KNOW THIS IS TOTALLY A COMPETITION.
1. We got color pages again this week! So again I am going to share my insights into them.
REGARDING THE FIRST PIC:
- TYL!LAMBO! My God, it's been too long. COME BACK TO US.
- Ryohei looks a little... evil. I, uh... what??
- I'm not sure who that guy in the gray hair and glasses is, but I'm fairly sure it's not Gokudera. His chin is far too pointy (YOU'LL PUT YOUR EYE OUT, KID), and he was never that megane. WAS HE?
- Why the hell is Tsuna wearing a bandage over his jacket sleeve? Oh, right, because it looks cool.
- I'm pretty sure Chrome's legs are too spindly to support her body. BUT SHE'S WEARING HEELS. And they look so cute, aww. XD
REGARDING THE SECOND PIC:
- Everyone looks hotter in this one than the first one. Except for Tsuna, who, incredibly, looks exactly the same.
- Seriously, Gokudera and Yamamoto are looking so hot I don't really have words. OH, YOU TWO. And Mukuro also.
- Lambo looks sooo happy with his umbrella that I just keep cracking up.
2. Okay, on this page I know Romario's supposed to be looking... nervous... or something, but I swear it looks more like he's just laughing. Which is the logical reaction to seeing Hibari whip out a pair of handcuffs, really.
3. Watching the fight that ensues over the next few pages is an interesting experience, because on the one hand, Hibari is really effing pretty, but on the other hand, Daisy looks like a mutant fish-person-thing. Possibly because THAT'S WHAT HE FUCKING IS. So I can really only bring myself to focus on approximately half of the panels. I'm not even sure how I managed to coherently follow this fight. XD
4. This page, for example, is just relentlessly disgusting. SEVERED LIMBS, RESPAWNING LIZARD ARMS, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF HIBARI'S FACE. It's all so painful to look at. ;_; (Page 8, later on, is even more gross.)
5. I can't help but take this as proof that Dino has wasted a lot of time on Wikipedia. Or reading comic books (you know how he loves that Spider-Man). Either way.
Also, that is the ickiest ability ever, regardless of the fact that it's also really useful.
6. The more I see Hibari's box weapon in action, the more I can't help but think the first Cloud Guardian must have been some sort of epic pervert.
"What... does he intend to do?" Exactly.
7. OH MY GOD
I was sort of expecting this after the cuffs started multiplying, but seeing them in action--just--I DON'T EVEN--!!
THIS MAY BE THE MOST HILARIOUS PANEL AMANO HAS DRAWN. And this is coming from someone who thinks that half the manga is hilarious in some way or other. But this so takes the cake, in ways I can't even begin to describe.
I just keep looking at Daisy's face and losing it. XDDDDDDDDD Ahaha what the hell.
8. Fuck yeah, Hibari just killed himself his first Funeral Wreath. FINALLY WE GOT ONE. Look how happy everyone is. |D
RIP Daisy. I'll always remember how your last word was, "Boh."
9. Why is it that just when we were finally learning the truth about all of this arc's weird little mysteries, Amano has to go and hit us with brand new ones? Who the hell are you, Kawahira? I love him and all, but the guy is still way more of a question mark than he has any business being considering that he's on our side (or at least he seems to be).
10. Oh, sweet, Byakuran's power in action. :O Not quite how I imagined it working, but I'm not surprised, either; if it had really been a constant I-can't-turn-this-damn-thing-off thing, he really would have lost his mind a long time ago. I'm surprised at Kikyo's remark that he hadn't done the meditation recently, though. But I guess it's probably more than a bit overwhelming.
Damned if it doesn't get results, though. Ohhhhh shit, I think we're in trouble.
AND STILL MORE COLOR PAGES NEXT WEEK? We're being spoiled here. I love it. |D
no subject
I don't know why I giggled a little at Hibari getting punched in the face...And that bit about him arresting Daisy--I don't even...AND WTF AT THE HANDCUFFS, SERIOUSLY. I agree with the thought of the original Cloud guardian being a total perv. Handcuffs. With spikes. Seriously. A lot of fic writers are going to have a field day with this XD
AND I LIKED DAISY BETTER WHEN I THOUGHT HE WAS UNDEAD INSTEAD OF BEING SOME WEIRD, REGENERATING GECKO THING.
no subject
Yama = sexay, as per usual. :)
I cracked up pretty much this entire chapter. I mean, come on: handcuffs. REALLY?!
There's a reason why I say KHR is crack-filled and fueled.
:D
no subject
Dino being all sportcaster is funny XD it's what he always becomes during these kinds of things, and I love how smug he looks when Hibari busted out the handcuffs XD AND OH MY GOD HIBARIIIII ASFLKHSDAG FUCKING HOT ACKKKKKKK *A*
YES THAT PANEL WITH THE MILLION HANDCUFFS XDD afsdlkghadsglh he looks like a mental patient.
I'll always remember how your last word was, "Boh."
yes, this. XD
I LOLED AND THOUGHT OF YOU WHEN GOKUDERA SAID THE ENEMY IS UP AGAINST A WALL NOW
I thought Kawahira would go meet Byakuran and co. but idk, I don't think he's on their side, either...
And YES SEEING THE MEDITATION, I never thought of it like that either but, iscool iscool.
...going back to look at Hibari now.
no subject
Once I get out of my gaming state I will catch up with the manga *SOBS*
no subject
It is kind of funny to see Hibari get punched. I mean, I hate to see it, but on the other hand, it was admittedly just a little satisfying. He's such a godmode that it doesn't happen too often. :P AND HIM TELLING DAISY HE WAS GOING TO ARREST HIM WAS JUST... WOW, AMANO. WOW. Maybe he has more in common with Cloudy the First than he'd like us to think. XD
I, too, preferred him as a zombie rather than the Swamp Thing.
no subject
I know this chapter was going to be hilarious as soon as we saw Hibari's box weapon last week. But nothing, absolutely nothing could have prepared me for Daisy being wrapped from head to toe in inner-tube-sized handcuffs with his eyes bugging out. XDDD
BECAUSE IT TOTALLY IS.
no subject
It's definitely entertaining to watch Dino narrate his protege's fight. You can tell he's almost enjoying it more than he should be. >_>
AND HIS FACE. HIS FACE. I still crack up every time I look at it. I've tried clicking on it at random and attempting to hold the laughter in, but I have failed miserably every time. IT'S GENIUS.
I LOLED AT THAT TOO. Interesting choice of words there. GOKUDERA KNOWS HOW TO PUT A METAPHOR TOGETHER. I bet Yama was all, "Yeah, I sure know what that's like."
I was surprised he left at all. WHERE IS HE GOING I WANT TO KNOOOOOOW. And yeah, the meditation was weird (were those wings??) but cool.
Haha, I can't blame you. XD
no subject
And Chrome looks so cute there. <3
Haha, well, it'll still be waiting when you finish Persona. |D
no subject
She does ;A; I'm glad Amano is including her. She's just adorable (with Mukuowl whee *is bricked)
Che yeah IF I ever finish Persona *SOOOOOOOOOBS*
no subject
Yeah, I like that Amano put her in the first pic and Mukuro in the second. It was a good compromise. I LIKE THIS SYSTEM, and not just because it requires two color pages for the price of one. :P
FAITO /o/
no subject
Ahahah indeed that is true with the whole price of one thing. It's okay with me! Having both Mukuro and Chrome? YAYYYYYYYY
TRYING ;______;
no subject
skirtkimono. I mean, WAT.And can he get any more girly-looking/beautiful? This is really getting ridiculous, Amano!I'm standing by my earlier statement about how Gokudera is turning into a woman, and that that is why he never seems to be able to do shit nowadays.One thing doesn't make sense about the colour spreads though. Why is the Italian Mukuro on the Japanese spread and the Japanese Chrome on the Italian?
The handcuffs... they're... special. I don't think there is anything else to say about them. xD
Except maybe that they're kinky, a bit messed up and really paints the first Cloud Guardian as a humongous pervert.That panel with Daisy in a full body restraint thing is hilarious. His fish feet that sticks out at the bottom especially.
Byakuran's power in action made me laugh. I thought it looked like he hatched from an egg, and that is all kinds of ridiculous. xD
no subject
BDSM!HIBARI, Y/Y/Y/Y/Y? I gigglesnorted when Hibari was all "I have to arrest you" WTF. IT WAS SUCH AN INFLUENCE ON MY MIND THAT I HAVE A SKETCH OF BDSM!HIBARI SOMEWHERE, WAITING TO BE SCANNED HAHAHA
And I love that picture of them in the yukatas. ;w; Okay, my first reason was cuz of the 8059, but the others look really good in them too! Like Mukuku!
no subject
I think Chrome's just on the Italian page because she looks hotter in that skirt than she'd have looked in a kimono.
Regardless of the fact that Hibari not only kicked ass with them, but actually scored the first FW kill to date, the handcuffs really undermine my ability to take him seriously. XD
I KNOW. His feet, and the D8 expression on his face.
He looked like some fairy princess in a video game or something.
no subject
I CRACKED UP AT THE "ARREST YOU" COMMENT. OH MY GOD HIBARI WHY SO KINKY? HAHA NOW I WANNA SEE THAT SKETCH. XD
It's definitely a good look for them, I agree. SO HOT.
no subject
One is good, but two is always better. :D
no subject
Gokudera: Hey, baseball idiot! I've got fabric and stuff around my ankle. *lifts yukata and looks away*
Yamamoto: Haha, nice! *leer leer*
Lambo: I has an umbrella! :DD
Ryohei: Is that a bear?! *is distracted*
Mukuro: Kufufu... Tsunayoshi... I want your body. *smirks*
Tsuna: Don't turn your head, don't look at him, nothing good will come from it. *glances around nervously*
Hibari: Herbivores... congregating... must... bite all... to death... *stares off to the right and thinks happy thoughts of Hibird and meat*
Reborn: Should I shoot Tsuna in the foot and call it training or not? Decisions, decisions...
:D ♥?
Gokudera will be doing badass things again
or there will be hell to pay, he'll just be very femininely beautiful while doing them. XDI don't think I ever really took Hibari seriously. Actually, I don't take anyone in this series seriously. XD
It's a wonderful image. :D
No, he's definitely hatching form an egg. XD
no subject
Gokudera: Man, I'm feeling so fucking megane today, I think I might even be able to make Hibari my uke.
Hibari: Bitch, don't even. I have handcuffs. *pouts in the other direction*
Lambo: I swear to God there are little black stars floating above my head. Does anyone else see these things? And yet, in spite of this, I still can't be bothered to open my other eye.
Yamamoto: Hmm, something seems a little off about Tsuna today...
Tsuna: *can't speak; is actually a cardboard cutout of the Tsuna from the other pic. HAHA YOU WERE ALL FOOLED*
Ryohei: I feel like plotting some EXTREME world domination. Or something evil like that. Or maybe I'll just go fight some bears again, it's all good.
Chrome: If it wasn't for Boss, I'd be the cutest one here. Damn.
Reborn: Should I shoot Tsuna in the foot and call it training or not? Decisions, decisions...
XDD
Gokudera will be doing badass things again
or there will be hell to pay, he'll just be very femininely beautiful while doing them.WELL THEN WE WIN TWICE, NOW DON'T WE?
It's true, Hibari has always been pretty adorable in spite of his badassness. But I'm sure there's someone in this series I can still take seriously. Just... I can't... actually think of any at the moment. XD
HE'S A MAGICAL WOODLAND CREATURE ENCLOSED WITHIN A FAIRY BARRIER.
no subject
I just wanted to say how much I enjoy your reviews. Sometimes I wait for your reviews as much as I wait for actual KHR release.
And I still think your "Unborn Chicken Voices" is great.
no subject
And thanks! Though I don't think any of my reviews could ever come close to approaching the level of sheer crazywin of some of Amano's chapters, lol. But I'm really glad you enjoy them! |D
no subject
I GUESS WE DO WIN TWICE!
Besides, it's like I've always said: The sports hero can be popular without being good looking, but Yamamoto obviously is because popular =/= one million fangirls. However, the punk/bad boy has to be handsome/beautiful/good looking, because the bad boy doesn't get the (fan)girls unless he's good looking. If he isn't, he's just another scary dude to stay away from. xDHahaha, that's great. Tell me when you find someone to take seriously and I'll think about it. XD
I STILL SAY HE'S HATCHING FROM AN EGG. XDD
no subject
Haha, true; Dera is required to be pretty, whereas with Yamamoto it's more just a happy bonus. At least attractiveness is generally something we never have to worry about when Amano is drawing the series. :P
KUSAKABE. I totally take Kusakabe seriously. ...Okay, no, still working on that.
OH WELL, TOMATO, TOMAHTO. EXCEPT THAT SAYING MAKES NO SENSE IN THIS SITUATION BUT LET'S JUST PRETEND IT DOES ANYWAY AND SAY NO MORE.
no subject
This is true. xD A very happy bonus in Yamamoto's case, right? :P
Hahaha, I don't. xD You just keep trying. xD
HE'S A MAGICAL WOODLAND FAIRY PRINCESS WHO HATCHED FROM AN EGG?!
no subject
6. I'm pretty sure that Hibari now belongs to a yaoi police officer manga. I could just SEE Dino off to the side begging, "Arrest me next, Kyouya! <3 "
What doesn't he intend to do, really.
9. Oh - and was that YAMAMOTO who was saying, "I don't like him somehow..." on page 17? Cause I thought that it was, and I was like O SHI - if Yamamoto doesn't really like him then we're DOOMED. He must be a bad guy...
But now that I look at it again, I think it's Reborn saying that. Hmm.
