Do you feel lucky, punk?

I DO, AS A MATTER OF FACT. |D I had a job interview today which went really well, much to my relief (particularly since I spent the entire week being stomachachingly, panic-attackingly nervous over it), and when I finally got home from that there was a nice new KHR chapter waiting for me. With more color pages. And various assorted epicness.


1. I'm not going to lie; it took me about three minutes to finally click past this page. Do you know why it took me three minutes? If you answered "GOKUDERA'S TUMMY" then you are correct! ABS!!!!! *_* I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS WITH HIM STRIPPING AND/OR DOING RIDICULOUS POSES COLOR PAGE AFTER COLOR PAGE, BUT NEVER CHANGE, GOKUDERA. NEVER CHANGE.

But yeah, this page is basically just all of the hottest characters in KHR standing around being hot. I can just picture Amano hard at work: "They want fanservice? I'LL GIVE THEM FANSERVICE."

The only notable character missing is, of course, Yamamoto, but sadly it was a necessary sacrifice. For as we all know, his being ranked in the top five WHERE HE SHOULD BE might have tragically resulted in Daniela not making it into the top ten, and we can't very well have that! That makes sense, right? Oh no, wait, it's like the opposite of making sense. THANK YOU, JAPANESE FANDOM. XD

Aaaaaand I'm gonna stop ranting about the color page now.


2. As if to even further highlight the ridiculousness of Yamamoto coming in #9 on that poll, the following page features a hilarious harem panel basically confirming the fact that Yamamoto really is everyone's favorite. JUST LOOK AT THAT HAREM. Giannini is just standing there basking in Yama's lulzy presence, looking like he's never felt so alive. (And Fuuta frankly looks jealous. CRY MOAR, FUUTA.)

Also, I got a little ;_; at Yama's relentless loyalty to his crazy sharkmentor. I just hope he doesn't find a corpse for his trouble. SQUALO PLEASE BE OKAYYYYY.


3. In addition to keeping up his streak of showing off unnecessary flesh, Gokudera is also continuing his streak of making hilarious faces! I LOLed. I think he just doesn't trust Bianchi with Yamamoto. XD And I also cracked up at how HAPPY Bianchi looks when he asks her. "OMG HAYATO WERE YOU WORRIED? 8D" Haha, I don't know if I could possibly adore their relationship any more than I do right now.


4. I would just like to say that in light of the revelation a few pages later in this chapter, Tsuna, Chrome, and Uni all really dropped the ball here. Both Tsuna and Uni have hyper-intuition, and Chrome can freaking see through illusions, and yet Torikabuto just prances right on past them. WHY IS GOKUDERA THE ONLY ONE PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO SECURITY? That's right, abuse him, Dera. Abuse him good.

Also, when Yamamoto says over the comm, "I can't believe Giannini built an entrance to the base in a place like THIS!" my mind immediately jumps to all sorts of horrible places. I like to think it was something really insane, like they had to go to one of the stalls in a public restroom and then stand in the toilet and then get flushed down into the base. XD


5. This is random, but I love the way Reborn is just standing there in the lower right panel here. No matter how long I've been desensitized to the idea of "angry baby with a gun", it still cracks me up sometimes.

And IT TOOK YOU LONG ENOUGH, CHROME. Geez.


6. AHHHHHHHHHHH

AND TORIKABUTO MAKES HIS ENTRANCE, JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN. I cannot be the only one who found that panel unbelievably terrifying, can I? Even Lambo's hilarious "I'VE BEEN KIDNAPPED 8X" face doesn't fully balance it out.


7. Because I feel the need to point it out in all caps whenever it actually happens, I would just like to say that GOKUDERA ONCE AGAIN DID SOMETHING USEFUL. /o/

SORRY BLUEBELL, YOU'VE BEEN SISTEMA C.A.DENIED. The I stands for "It's about time."


8. AFLKJALKJFL!!!1ONE

GAMMAAAAAAAAA


God damn it, that does it. From this point on I am never going to complain about the lack of any given character in the manga ever again. I just have to take it on good faith that Amano is simply waiting for the most epic possible moment to reintroduce them. LONGCHAMP, I WILL BE WAITING PATIENTLY FOR YOU.

GAMMMMMAAAAA~


9. Hahaha, much as I appreciate their showing up to help rescue Uni, the idea of Nosaru and Tazaru seriously attempting to take on one of the real FWs, considering that THEY LOST TO TSUNA AND GOKUDERA BACK BEFORE THEY EVEN KNEW HOW TO USE THE RINGS, just tickles me silly. YOU IDIOTS. XD


10. And yay, Tsuna remembered he's the fucking main character. |D I'M HAPPY HE GETS TO BE BADASS THE WEEK OF HIS BIRTHDAY. Besides, he owed Torikabuto a rematch anyway.

...Has Gamma ever seen Tsuna in action before? Come to think, I don't think he has, which explains the look of utter shock, lol.


SO ONCE AGAIN, THE DAY IS SAVED, THANKS TO... THE POWERPUFF GIRLS. *cue theme music*

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
THE COLOUR SPREAD!!! *_____* Gokudera looks HOT (but still incredibly girly. My mother actually thought he was a woman, and when I said it was a boy, she raised an eyebrow and gave me a "Are you serious?" look. XD)

I just thought it was so cute that Bianchi got so incredibly happy over her brother seemingly care about her well being. She looks ecstatic! XD

Yamamoto going back to base is stupid but very Yamamoto, so I forgive him. XD

Gamma coming back was awesome! :DD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 08:24 pm (UTC)(link)
OMFG YOUR ICON. *is too distracted to type anything for the next several seconds* *____*

LOL, he is girly, but not nearly as girly as he was in the color pages last week, at least. But I don't even care, because ABS. GOOD GOD THAT IS ONE SEXY STOMACH.

She really does; I guess for Gokudera to actually express concern in any shape or form is a rare enough event to put her on cloud nine. XD

I FORGIVE HIM BECAUSE HE IS DOING WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DO; namely, check to see if Squalo is still alive. ;_;

And Gamma's entrance was made of ten different kinds of win. Could not have been any cooler or better-timed if he'd tried.

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I KNOW! ISN'T IT JUST AWESOME?! :DDD You cna have it too if you want it. :P

Well, last week was pretty extreme really. XD And yes, stomach. :DDD ABS.

It's so cute. xD And Bianchi being cute is really awesome. :P

I HOPE WE FIND OUT IF HE'S STILL ALIVE SOON. D:

Not quite Mukuro-esque, but definitely good enough. :D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
SO AWESOME. I totally would take it, but I don't have the space. Curse you LJ and your 15 icon limit. XD

True, last week kind of seemed like she was pushing her limits to see JUST how girly she could actually make him. MMM GOKUDERA ABS.

Yeah, normally she only defaults to "lust" and "kill" modes. "Cute" is a delightful new one.

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG ALREADY. Hang in there, Squalo. :(

In some ways I actually like it more than Mukuro's entrance, just because of the way he swooped in and grabbed Uni like the biggest knight in shining armor cliche ever. XDDD

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
INDEED. I hate hat stupid limit too! And there's no way I'm paying just to get more icons. XD

His abs This image makes up for it though. :D Look at this. XD

I'm sure he's fine! He's probably hiding inside his shark or something. XD

Well yes, that's true. But Mukuro's entrance still somehow felt more epic. xD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, screw you, LJ. I MAY BE ADDICTED BUT I AM ALSO BROKE, SO THERE!

This image makes up for MANY THINGS. And lol, that's exactly what I love about him. FROM BADASS TO DORK IN 0.6 SECONDS. <3

Yeah, for some reason every time we think Squalo's dead it turns out he was just inside a shark. THAT GUY.

Well, Mukuro's entrance was a) right after everyone rode the shark, b) at a crucial moment when they were all trying to escape, and c) the return of a beloved character after like a zillion chapters AND we all had thought he was dead. So yeah, pretty damn epic. BUT I DUNNO, I JUST HAVE A SOFT SPOT FOR GAMMA.

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 10:56 am (UTC)(link)
I usually end up deleting icons I don't use very often. I WISH I DIDN'T HAVE TO. ;___;

It does. *___* He looks so young back in the old chapters. :'D

HE'S JUST LIKE THAT.

Hahaha, this is true. xD

GOKUDERA'S STOMACH. Why does he always look so homo in his spreads

Since I agree with everything stated here, I can only say one thing: GAMMAAAAAAAA ♥

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
SO. UNBELIEVABLY. ATTRACTIVE. *_* I think in Amano's mind, Gokudera's name must be synonymous with "fanservice."

GAAAAAMMMMMMMAAAAAA |DDD

Every time I look at the page, my eyes just get kind of glued there like it's a magnet. MAGNET ABS.

GOKUDERA WHAT IS IT WITH YOUR LOVE OF BANDAGES AND WHITE BELTS. STOOOP ITTTT. It makes it hard to cosplay youuu -sob-

BUT HE IS OH SO VERY PRETTY IN THAT SPREAD. OH SO PRETTY. AND GAY, VERY GAY.

GO YAMA GO, AND PLEASE DONT VANISH FOR ANOTHER HANDFUL OF CHAPTERS AGAIN ;-;

GAMMMAAAAAAAAAAAA *A* <3333

The more complicated it is to wear, the more likely he is to wear it. IT'S TRUE.

HE'S GODDAMN FABULOUS. AND THE SEXIEST THING I'VE EVER SEEN.

auuuuugh if Yama just disappears after all that I'll go nuts. I'm already on the edge of my seat wondering if Squalo still has a pulse. D:

I'M SO HAPPY HE'S BACK \o/

1. DITTO ON THE ABS! And is there something written on his stomach beside the band-aid?! Wait, are those even band-aids or a tattoo of dynamites!!?? XD

Poll? What poll? My mind had regressed back three polls ago and is conveniently ignoring the last two polls. Lalala~ Goddammit Japan.

2. Lol, ohgod, my first thought upon seeing that panel was "OT4 \o/" haha.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 11:08 pm (UTC)(link)
IT IS IN FACT A DYNAMITE TATTOO. And there's definitely something written there too, but I can't make out what it is, even in the HQ scan. FUSHIGI MYSTERY.

Haha, yeah, that's probably a good idea. I haven't paid much attention to the last few polls either except to celebrate Gokudera reaching third place in the last one, and to boggle a little over Daniela's inexplicable popularity. I know who my favorite characters are, so whatever. :P

YAMAMOTO'S ANGELS. /o/

"I like to think it was something really insane, like they had to go to one of the stalls in a public restroom and then stand in the toilet and then get flushed down into the base. XD"

YURI?!!!!

(*liked Kyou Kara Maou, okay?*)

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
--I've actually never seen Kyou Kara Maou, and I am instantly intrigued. XD

[identity profile] ekmisao.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
It's...well...it's fun stuff. It's pretty much a harem shonen-ai series (yes, it's possible), but even if that's not my thing it's not heavy-handed so it's a fun romp of itself.

Whiny kid gets flushed down toilet. Finds alternate dimension. Finds he's demon king of said alternate world. Finds he's married to one of the cute blonde boys there by default. Finds he has to collect the rest of his guardian-type siblings and people, and has to defeat various threats and collect some big boxes to open up some heavy-duty power. Something like that. It's a popular show, you can probably find it to rent.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Lol, you had me at "harem shounen-ai series." XD I must check this out. Is it just an anime or is there a manga as well (if so I'll probably go with that; it's easier that way for me). But if not, I'll definitely have to see if I can find some DVDs or torrents.

[identity profile] caddles.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 10:32 pm (UTC)(link)
OMG THE COLOUR PAGE. I WAS SO SAD THAT YAMAMOTO WAS MISSING AND HAD A LITTLE SOB OVER THAT. But it made me stupidly happy that Squalo is 7th. BAWWWWWWWWWAWESOME. Fly on, you crazy shark dude.

But I have to concede that Gokudera and Uri stole the show on that page, mainly because of Gokudera's tummy, which I had an absurd longing to poke... and Uri looking so freakin' adorable all arched up on his arm like that. <3
And am I the only one who thinks Barinezumi looks like a sponge in the shape of a hedgehog stuck to a big purple spike ball?

BUT TO MAKE A LONG POST SHORT.

GAMMA. HE FREAKIN' STOLE THE CHAPTER, HE REALLY DID. WOW. HE CAME AND HE FINALLY RESCUED HIS PRINCESS.
And right when I was starting to forget about him in the face of all the magical handcuffs and such. Touché Amano. Touché.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
ONCE I REMEMBERED THAT CHARACTERS EXIST OTHER THAN GOKUDERA, I WAS SAD TOO. And I was glad to see Squalo place so high, but I couldn't get over him outranking Yama. THAT IS NOT THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

mainly because of Gokudera's tummy, which I had an absurd longing to poke...

...now I'm wondering if Gokudera is ticklish. XD

AND URI TOTALLY STOLE THE SHOW BOX-ANIMAL WISE. I thought Hibari's hedgehog looked oddly mechanic, actually. Like, THAT IS NOT A NORMAL ANIMAL SHAPE, you know? He has too many angles.

GAMMMMMAAAAAA. <333 AT THIS MOMENT, ALL IS RIGHT WITH THE WORLD.

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Glad to know you thought your interview went well! XD Hope you get the job (?)

Yes Gokudera's tummy @_@ omg /nosebleeds
And Mukuro's strange but very nice posing...

HAHA YAMA HAREM I loled at Spanner. And I never know whether or not Bianchi is for real but hahaha XD I LOVE HER AND HER DYSFUNCTIONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH HER LITTLE BROTHER.

I didn't see the Lambo thing coming XD even when Tsuna lampshaded "the tension is gone!" haha, I thought it was just comic relief I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER. But omg, Ipin pointing out Lambo underneath the sofa is just ...ffffff /won't stop laughing

AHHHA SFLSDJGADSG WHEN I SAW THE FOXES I WAS ALL OH MY GOD OH MY GOD IS THAT...GAMMMAAAAAAAAAAAA YESSSSS ASFDLKHADSGLKH and they called her princess and themselves Giglio Nero again bawwwww ;w; I AM EXTREMELY TOUCHED

HAha XD well, any help is good help...

I love Gamma's little jig about Vongola Decimo when Tsuna was bing all badass XD THAT. IS THE VONGOLA. DECIMO.

GAMMAAAAAAAAAAAAA 8DDDD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks! <3 I AM CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC. (It's for a position at the American Red Cross, actually. Doesn't pay much, but it's good experience and it sounds like a really cool gig.)

GOKUDERASOHOT. *_* And Mukuro looks like he's trying to use his trident as a strip pole. ??

ME TOO, I loved his :| matter-of-fact expression, it was so perfect. Lol, I usually operate under the assumption that what you see is what you get when it comes to Bianchi, but considering the hidden depths some of these characters have, who knows? She definitely loves her little bro, though. XD

I was spoiled for the Lambo/Torikabuto thing, so I had the luxury of being able to sit at my computer and judge the characters for being caught off guard. I LOVE HAVING AN OMNISCIENT VIEWER PERSPECTIVE. And I cracked up so hard at that face... the way his eyes were bugging out just killed me.

I WAS SPOILED FOR GAMMA TOO but amazingly enough, in my braindead state over Gokudera's storm abs, I managed to completely forget. When he showed up to rescue Uni my thoughts pretty much turned into one big keysmash. ALKJADKSLJF YES HE'S BACK HE'S BACK HE'S BACK 8DDDD

IN THEORY. And yet... XD

That was so weird; it was like he randomly decided to become the narrator. It was awesome, though.

FUCK YEAH GAMMAAAA

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2009-10-16 11:28 pm (UTC)(link)
...I.

Did not realize that Gokudera used the Sistema CI. Too many explosions.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
Heh, it was really hard to make out; I only noticed because I have a hard-on for anything even remotely C.A.I.-related saw him activating his box in the panel right before. You can see one of the shield bones sticking out in a corner, but that's really all. STEALTH DEFENSE.

[identity profile] ekmisao.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
This is why I still like watching the anime. The colors and the choreography lets me understand the fight scenes better.

[identity profile] teruame.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
Gamma! :DDDDD It's so awesome to see you! X333 I think everyone is glad to see ya suddenly step in to save Uni. <333

And, Tsuna-san! Go, go! -does a cheerleader dance- Fight for your family! XDDD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
I'M JUST THRILLED HE FINALLY SHOWED UP, but also glad his timing was conveniently chivalrous. |D WAY TO SAVE THE DAY MY MAN.

And I'm looking forward to seeing Tsuna kick some butt next chapter. Torikabuto was so annoying during the Choice fight; it'll be nice to get some payback. :P

[identity profile] ekmisao.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Loved Tsuna being awesome, of course, but is he not acting like he is made to act in the ANIME fillers? "Stand back. Let me handle this." Without going through a stalling routine! Is that REALLY you, whiny no-good Tsuna?!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Let's pretend I didn't take a week to respond to this. XDDD NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT...! But well, he didn't have much of a choice this time, and really, at this point if he'd just stood there and watched YET AGAIN, I would have been ready to smack him. He had his moments of "SOB WHY ME" earlier in the day (and what a long, strange day it's turning out to be for them XD). NOW HE'S MANNING UP A LITTLE.

[identity profile] azartti.livejournal.com 2009-10-17 06:04 pm (UTC)(link)
First of all, congrats on your new job!

Gokudera doesn't want the title of Right Handman go to anyone else but him, so that's why he was to look ghei in all the color spreads XD And I find amusing that it seems that Mukuro is blocking Hibari's tonfa while pole dancing XD and come on, it could totally happen.

Dude, it's Yamamoto. He is shippeable with EVERYONE. And I feel so touched that's he's going back to check on the sadist!mentor. Yamamoto likes it ROUGH.

Gokudera's and Bianchi's relationship is SO ADORABLE. I love them both to end. And one a side note: Bianchi tops all lolis, Uni is part of the girl!gang she has.

like they had to go to one of the stalls in a public restroom and then stand in the toilet and then get flushed down into the base. I don't know why my mind jumpt to Men in Black 2

*waits patiently with you for Longchamp to pop out of hammerspace*

I'M HAPPY HE GETS TO BE BADASS THE WEEK OF HIS BIRTHDAY
THIS. SO MUCH.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2009-10-23 04:24 am (UTC)(link)
THANK YOU. It's not totally official yet (and I still have to go through training and stuff once it is), but it looks good. :D

HAHA, YES, he has to out-gay the other guardians because he's the RIGHT HAND, dammit. And if anyone could simultaneously annoy Hibari while doing a pole dance, it's Mukuro.

Oh, Yama. JAPANESE FANDOM WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. He's so cool. ;_;

IT IS. I love how Dera's totally NOT CONCERNED!!!! Such a good brother, lol. And since Bianchi is apparently a part of Yamamoto's harem, I wonder if her harem also belongs to him by default. DAMN YAMA YOU'RE SUCH A PIMP.

I haven't seen MIB in a long time; maybe that's where my subconscious got the idea. D:

LONGCHAMP WHERE ARE YOUUUU. SHAMAL CAN COME TOO.

And I was so happy, seriously. GO TSUNA. <3

TSUNA IS AWESOME. AND SO COOOOL.
AND SO IS GOKUDERA, HOLY CRAP.

I WAS WISHING MORE COLOR!YAMA TOO, BUT IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE SOB.

Also, congrats on your getting that job! It's so hard to find one nowadays. >_> .... That might be because half my head is blonde, but OH WELL.

DAMN YOU JAPANESE FANDOMMMM, that page could have been that much hotter if not for you guys.

And thanks. I'm really excited, heh.
