That's two weeks in a row I've been late in reviewing KHR.

[makeste]

That's the holidays for you. Oh well, at least it's only a day late this time. XD

1. Damn, Chikusa, you and your hats. And I also see that Chrome and M.M. have apparently become skirt rivals. BUT YOU WON'T DEFEAT CHROME SO EASILY, M.M., no matter how you work those seductive angles!

I love how Mukuro's just smirking in the back because he's surrounded by all his bitches. And wow, I know his boots were made fun of way, way back when, but this is the first time I've really stared at them and gone, "..." They're just... how does he even walk with those?


2. OMG, shirtless Ryohei! You can stand by me. 8D Sorry, I just wanted to call attention to his hotness for a moment. (And don't think I don't notice you crouching up in that corner, tiny detail-less Gokudera. It's good to see you again, even if you're little more than a vaguely Storm Guardian-shaped blob.)

Bluebell looks so offended at having been tricked into killing illusions. Like it's beneath her or something. Those raptor-hydras don't look too thrilled either. There's a lot of :|ing going on over here. EXCEPT FOR MUKURO, OF COURSE, WHO LOOKS LIKE CHRISTMAS CAME EARLY.


3. Oh my God I fucking love Mukuro and Fran's relationship. I SAID IT LAST CHAPTER AND I'LL KEEP SAYING IT AGAIN. Mukuro stabbed him in the head with his trident for absolutely no reason. And Fran's like, "Owwww, stop iiiiiit, that hurrrrts," WHILE DISPLAYING NO EMOTION WHATSOEVER. It's like a little kid whining about his big brother picking on him. Except the big brother is actually stabbing him in the head. WITH A TRIDENT.

Did I mention I love Mukuro and Fran's relationship??

And oh yeah, there's some stuff with Mukuro monologuing on the bottom of the page, but no one cares about that. Wow, he's noticed that Kikyo likes to attack with pop-up dinosaur heads. Real perceptive there, Holmes.


4. I love a good reaction page. |D

"That pineapple hair isn't an illusion." Okay, not only did he say it in a funnier way than I could have (god damn you, Fran), but the response he gets from that line... absolutely priceless.

The bottom line of panels really does a good job of illustrating why I gravitate more toward characters like Gokudera and Ryohei than Hibari and Bel, incidentally. They're all equally shocked, but with Dera and Ryohei it's written clearly (and quite amusingly) all over their faces, while Hibari in particular maintains his ever-present Botox injection mask. Such a deadpan pair of exclamation points I never did see in all my days.


5. I'm not too sure Ken has matured at all in the last ten years, which is a little disappointing. Oh well. His face has certainly shoujoed up a bit, though. XD

Am I the only one who almost thought the raptor heads were talking for a minute there, incidentally? I am losing it. XD But they just seemed more prominent in the panel than Kikyo did. WHATEVER. And Fran, stop being cute. No wonder Mukuro likes you so much.


6. Oh my. Villain of Serious Arc A, meet Villain of Serious Arc B. That was certainly a pretty group of panels. *_*

And of course, Hibari isn't at all pleased. Damn sexy villains, stealing his limelight and opportunities for death-bitings. HOW DARE THEY.


7. DAMN YOU, FRAN, YOUR CLEVER LITTLE COMMENTARY WASTED SO MUCH TIME THAT ALL OF GOKUDERA'S HARD WORK WAS COMPLETELY UNDONE. :|! And here we all thought the Wreaths were just floating around listening to the banter and monologuing because they enjoyed it. What were we smoking?

And I have got to stop commenting on every page myself, because I'm not even halfway through the chapter yet. At this rate, I'll be rambling on forever. XD


8. Damn, M.M., just when I was starting to consider liking you. :/

Just... she hit Chrome. Chrome! Who the hell hits Chrome?? It's like kicking a puppy and then stealing that puppy's ice cream cone and eating it in front of a group of starving orphans. You just don't do that sort of thing if you have any sort of heart or soul whatsoever.

And what kind of cheap justification is that? Which is to say, there's NO FREAKING JUSTIFICATION AT ALL. Bitch is just jealous or something. Whatever, Chrome, don't even bother with her. Where's Bianchi when you need her?


9. Oh, that's where. YAAAAAAAY, YAMA'S ON HIS WAY. 8DDDD

I was just thinking to myself that it's been almost ten full chapters since we saw him last. More than two months! FAR TOO LONG. He had better have a Squalo in tow for our trouble.

And I do love that they're all coming together. Setting the stage for the epic showdown of all showdowns. Haha, I'm getting excited now.


10. Aaaand, speaking of latecomers, holy fucking shit it's Ghost. D:

WHAT DOES BYAKURAN HAVE PLANNED? WHAT DOES HE MEAN BY "FINAL ACT"? AND WHAT IS IT WITH HIM AND NAKED MINIONS?? ALL THIS AND MORE IN THE NEXT KATEKYO HITMAN REBORN.

Also, my heart goes out to poor Ken, who is stuck with what I can only describe as the most unfortunate view ever. XDDD

Actually Gokudera's efforts weren't wasted, nor Ryohei's nor Lambo's, from the way the events were given out.

And it's been final for a long time I'm no longer paying attention,hehe.

Agrees with you about poor Ken.

10) Byakuran likes the eye candy.

Also, Byakuran is going to kill all the wreaths and manage to get himself killed, b/c it's all an ELABORATE PLOT to stop his other selves from taking over the world.

9) Squalo's so there. I MEAN. XANXUS IS IN TEH AREA. SQUALO IS NOT FAR BEHIND.

8) ...it's more like kicking a two legged puppy, then stealing it's little puppy wheelchair, all the while stomping it's icecream into the ground.

3) WHO DOESN'T LOVE MUKURO AND FRAN'S RELATIONSHIP. It's epic. I'm in love with it. (And Mukuro/Xanxus.)

1) ...don't mock the hats woman. They're beautiful, beautiful things.

1. Mukuro sure loves them thigh-high boots. I don't get how anybody could walk in those.

2. HE CAN STAND BY ME, TOO 8D /bricked

3. Oh man Mukuro and Fran are made of win XD Fran's like "Ow. Stop it. It hurts." And I somehow read that in Ben Stein's voice (I don't even know why).

4. Amano is using Fran to make fun of Mukuro. "Pineapple hair"? There's no way she could have written that and drew those reaction faces without laughing to herself.

8. CHROME. SHE DOES NOT DESERVE THE ABUSE :| /needs a motivational poster of this. Now M.M just made me dislike her more. Yeah, Bianchi. Come back and poison her again lmao

AND LOL KEN. I didn;t even notice he was right in front of Ghost. Poor thing XDDD

jdkflajkfl AHAHAHA ...Master, that hurts, stop it. Aaand Mukuro just keeps smiling like it's 1999.

My love for Fran went up by 9000 points in this chapter, it's ridiculous.

"Am I the only one who almost thought the raptor heads were talking for a minute there, incidentally? "

NO YOU WERE NOT AND I WAS ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED OH GOD.

Daaaamn page six is an epic stare-down.

jdkaf CHROME ABUSE. DO NOT WANT. It's ilke kicking a one-eyed kitten. ...who has no organs. :|

YAMAMOTO GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE NOW.

Lol Byakuran's Naked Minions. This is rivaling Byakuran and the Funeral Wreaths as the Best Band Name Ever.

Chrome...;__;

I really hope that Chrome learns how to fight more in the next chapter. ^^; Just so that she can show that M.M. who is the stronger one. ;)
