I love OneManga.

Right now, KHR is at the top of their Recent Updates list, listed as "[hot]", just like last week. And even though that [hot] thing seems to be mostly arbitrary, it always makes me happy when KHR snags a spot.

1. I can't decide if this first page is hilarious or terrifying. It looks like they just crashed into each other in the first panel, and then in the bottom two panels they both look like they're trying to eat each other. And talk about your awkward angles for poor Ghost; we can see right up his nose and also where his tonsils OUGHT to be if they hadn't apparently been replaced by a gaping black abyss. As for Tsuna, I can't remember the last time his eyes looked so huge. Hee. I think hilarious wins out.

2. Normally I don't like to be so crude as to point out things like, say, the fact that EVERYONE ON THE TOP OF PAGE TWO LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE HAVING SEX, but. As you can see, it slipped out anyway. Whoops. XD But SERIOUSLY, what the hell.

And then it cuts over to Uni's gang (and Bianchi is there, hooray), and ALL OF THEM ARE MAKING BASIL FACES. What is this crazy page. Damn you, chapter 274, how do you expect me to continue to take you seriously??

3. ...oh. 8|

I just... oh my God. Eugh. EUGGHGHGH. It looks like Ghost's face turned into a melting zombie mask and Tsuna is trying to rip it off. dslkfj why do I keep doing things like eating lunch right before reading this manga. Man, we're only like three pages in and this chapter has already more than met its WTF quota. I can only imagine what's left in store for us. ONWARD.

4. La la la, so now we've got Tsuna turning Ghost into soup and everyone else having reaction panels. Okay. And Fran, that settles it, you can officially sit at the cool kids table. I'm sorry I was ever indifferent to you. And haha, I've missed Yamamoto's happy faces. It's been too long.

But HOLD UP, it appears something mysterious is afoot! Damn, you side characters, way to pay attention. Which for once I mean in a completely non-sarcastic way! Dino's exposition makes me feel like a dupe. TO THINK I WAS ALMOST TAKEN IN, but he's totally right. (But what the heck is Kikyou doing agreeing with him? THE HELL DOES HE EVEN KNOW ABOUT ZERO POINT BREAKTHROUGH, but he's all like, "Oh yeah, now that you mention it, you're absolutely right, Dino my good old buddy with whom I go way back!" He makes it seem like switching sides is effortless.)

5. AHHHHH IT'S A GIANT FLOATING DICK, WAUUGH RUNNN. WHY DO THE BAD GUYS ALWAYS SNEAK UP AND THEN POP UP OUT OF NOWHERE.

Kikyou has such a look on his face, I really do feel sorry for him kind of.

I do wonder why Byakuran bothered sneaking up on them, though, when Uni was just standing around practically unguarded just a half mile away or so. He must really be feeling confident if he decided he had time to go troll them first before kidnapping the princess and taking over the world.

6. ...and suddenly I have to wonder just how good the odds of Byakuran getting Jesused by Tsuna actually are, considering he's just laughingly pointed out the Jesusing of the other two main villains. Between him and Fran, we'll be lucky if we even have a fourth wall before long.

Lol, and if his goal was to piss said former villains off, he sure succeeded. Come on, Mukuro, I'd have expected better from you at least. Since when have you ever let someone goad you into something?

Also, goddamn, Kikyou, make up your mind already.

7. I bet you Gokudera is jealous of Byakuran's outfit here. HOW MANY STRAPS AND BUCKLES CAN WE FIT ONTO ONE MAN? LET'S TAKE CHANCES! PUSH THE LIMITS!!

8. Oh. OH. OH.

I need like... a 'replay' button feature on OM so that I can watch this page again and again and again and again and again. RIGHT IN THE FACE. See, that's the kind of Action Hero Tsuna I love. IS THAT BYAKURAN'S SHOCKED EYE IN THE BOTTOM MIDDLE PANEL. I think it is. Ohly... shit... must... enjoy... while it... lasts...

9. :( Wow, and there's that moment of fleeting triumph gone as quick as it arrived. Which was expected, but still. His finger. Come on, Byakuran, why you always gotta be Mr. Godmode and RUIN EVERYTHING.

10. Yeah, and I think we were all expecting this as soon as Dino pointed out that Ghost's flames hadn't been absorbed. Damn it.

...although if you also anticipated Rock God Fairy Princess Fireworks Byakuran on top of that, you're pretty good, I've gotta hand it to you. XD

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... OUR MAIN VILLAIN. Every single other shounen manga out there, please hang your heads in shame right now. Because try as you might? YOU WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO TOP THAT.

I... I had things to say. They were relevant and perhaps entertaining as well. They were all eclipsed by the light of Rock God Fairy Princess Fireworks Byakuran. HE HAS WINGS. HE. HAS. WINGS. SPARKLY FAIRY WINGS.

...I BET THEY'RE PINK. OR A VERY LIGHT PURPLE.

I mean, I already knew there were fairy wings from back in this chapter, but I am pretty taken aback at just how... sparkly they are. Though in hindsight, I have no idea why this should come as a surprise.

OH YOU KNOW THEY'RE PINK.

Well perhaps you thought that Byakuran would show some restraint when he's supposed to be the Ultimate Shounen Villain and all that. But no, no, it really isn't a surprise.

THEY TOTALLY ARE. Oh damn now I really have to color this page. With loads of pink.

I should have known better. XD

SPARKLY PINK. The man is fabulous.

I just loved that final image. He totally looked like the winner of some J-Rock American Idol.

He totally looked like the winner of some J-Rock American Idol.

THIS. Except with princess wings.

Afterhappilyupdatingmyuserpics. AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Srsly, I love you so much.

As soon as Byakuran came in I was like: FUUU -- IT ' S MR. MARY - SUE - MCASS - PANTS. And then he had to go and look all pretty and shit I couldn ' t stay mad.

ps. I laughed so hard at Fran. I wanna sit at the cool kids table too! ; AA ;

Wouldn ' t Byakuran have told the Funeral Wreaths about Tsuna and all his super special awesome moves from all his mary - suing in other worlds? o no Maybe that ' s how Kikyou knew ...

Or maybe he and Dino were really bff's. I could see it. -shot-

THAT ICON!!! OMG OMG OMG. *MARRIES IT*

I can't stay mad at him either. The more of a Mary Sue Dick he is, the more I love him. It is a curious thing. I'm still giggling at that last page. XD

And God, I love Fran so much now. HE ACTUALLY SAID WOOT. Or something that was translated into 'woot', anyway... now I want to go find some other translations, just to double-check. But man, that was awesome.

ETA: And yeah, that probably is how Kikyou knew. I was just surprised he seemed to have such a casual knowledge of it. XD

Edited 2010-01-22 20:46 (UTC)

LOL. SURE. Does this mean we ' re in - laws now?

D: same her. OMG ME TOO. He did just win J - Pop idol. There are like . . sparkles and fireworks and shit.

xD Probably something like, 'Yattaaaa' which is the closest thing to woot in Japanese. And since it IS Fran after all, we have to give him something ridiculous to say. <3

Pfft. Kikyou is just that cool you know. He is like a dinosaur now. And everyone knows they are cold - blooded! Or something like that ...

ABSOLUTELY.

And my favorite thing is that in spite of the fact that he has wings and sparkles and THAT OUTFIT, his pose still somehow manages to be the gayest thing of all. "AHAHAHAHA I HAVE ALL YOUR FLAMES INSIDE MY BODY~" with the musical note and everything. He somehow manages to be completely over the top in every single way possible.

Yeah, probably. And if that's the case, I am really loving IEM's translator at this moment, because DAMN. <3

He's just so unbelievably shameless about the whole side-switching thing. You can't help but admire it.

8D Awesome to the EXTREME!

OH GOD. He looks really sexy despite his BLANTENTLY ripping off of Gokudera's style. Why do ALL THE GAY GUYS HAVE TO BE HOT. OR EVIL. Or both. ... I see a pattern here. Well, if he can see into other worlds, he might as well be as over the top as he can. He can ' t be evil allllll the time.

All my friend had to tell me was: FRAN SAID WOOT. and I rushed off to One Manga and proceeded to laugh my ass off.

True that. <3 Tsuna has magical powers to convert evil beings into good guys. Like Gamma. And Mukuro. sortof.

I did not envision Rock God Fairy Princess Fireworks Kuran. ...but I wasn't too far off on most.

HOWEVER. THE OUTFIT. IS. SURPRISING.

I THINK THERE ARE EVEN ZIPPERS.

Kikyou is a traitortraitortraitor. AT LEAST SHOUICHI PLANNED HIS DEFECTION. Kikyou's just like 'oh, so I stand on THIS SIDE of the line now'

"Man, they all think I'm gay anyway; I'm just gonna go ahead and confirm it. *goes and ties six belts around his stomach*" AND BYAKURAN, THAT IS WHY WE LOVE YOU.

And Kikyou can't even decide if he wants to follow through on his betrayal or not. Now he's trying to pretend like he WASN'T participating in the equivalent of a Vongola group huddle just one chapter ago and telling them Byakuran's secrets and cheering on the Vongola Tenth. But I have the feeling he's just like, "shit, I'm screwed no matter what" at this point, so I can't help but sympathize with the guy.

Kikyou at least appears to be relatively... you know, intelligent. So the minute Byakuran unleashed GHOST and started sucking up everyone's dying will flames I think he kind of realized 'oh, so, I'm going to end up like Genkishi no matter how smart I am'.

And srsly, Gokudera's like, calling out his name. There is no hope for his evil soul.

Yeah, and it's not like he doesn't know what Byakuran's capable of in the "screwing over his allies" department. The strange thing is, back when Kikyou was the one doing the screwing over, I was really hoping it would come back to haunt him. He was just way too smug about Genkishi's demise. But now that karma finally has turned on him, I feel bad for him anyway. XD

And yeah, I don't even know why he's bothering to try and hide it. Not that I think it would matter to Byakuran either way; I think he always planned to take out the Wreaths along with everyone else, no matter how things turned out. Because he's a dick. And because they had his Mare rings, after all. (I suppose Bluebell's and Zakuro's are lying around right now; everyone conveniently forgot about them.)

>> Byakuran'll pick up the rings once he's done decimating the Vongola. Which will be shortly.

UNLESS Shouichi rolls out the Last Weapon.

ROCK GOD FAIRY PRINCESS FIREWORKS BYAKURAN. That is a moment I need to frame and hang on my wall for ever. :DDDDDD (Btw, I love that his special attack was 'White Finger'. You just know someone out there has half-translated it as 'Byaku-hand'.)

On page twelve, I was super surprised to see how grown-up Tsuna looked. For a moment, he actually looked like he could be the same age as all his friends instead of, like, Fuuta's age.

Kikyou is quickly becoming one of my favourite characters, just because he's pretending he was with the Vongola all this time. "If I act like I was with them all along, they'll just assume someone made me an inspirational speech!" He was included with everyone else in the reaction panels, too. ;) I really don't think Byakuran's going to let himself be Jesus-ed, though. They're going to have to actually kill him, or at least freeze him in ice or something.

Fran~ ♥

Hahaha Byaku-hand. XD In my mind that's actually the better translation.

Heh, I agree. Though to be fair, IMO Tsuna's really the only one who ever actually looked his age (which is still supposed to be fourteen, isn't it?). The others all look closer to fifteen or sixteen. Manly shounen guys. :P

I really love how Kikyou was acting so thoroughly Vongolaized, but then as soon as Byakuran appeared he was all, "Byakuran-sama!" like he hadn't been doing anything wrong. Who does he think he's fooling? Though I think he's finally starting to realize that Byakuran never had any attention of letting him--or any of the Funeral Wreaths--survive this battle anyway.

And yeah, it's getting to the point where I really wouldn't be surprised if Byakuran ends up being Tsuna's first real kill. Though, this being SJ and all, I'm still expecting some sort of minor cop-out. But it's hard to imagine how this guy could be redeemed in any sense at this point.

Hearts for Fran. ♥ I want to adopt him and have him follow me around saying snarky things all day long.

Probably the intended one, too. Byakuran is exactly the sort of person who would name his special attack Byaku-hand. :D And I think they're probably fifteen by now . . . when is Tsuna's birthday, again?

Kikyou's probably just waiting to see who wins. XD That's what I would do.

If Byakuran doesn't end up actually dying, he's going to at least get life in the deepest levels of the Vendicare prison. I don't think he could ever actually get redeemed. ~~I mean, he doesn't even have a tragic past or anything!~~

We're all thinking it so I'm just going to..... leave this here...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. It ' s true. Tsuna just needs to rip of his pretty sparkle wings off. Then it would be perfection.

Despite being one of the only people on the Internet who hasn't seen Advent Children, I am still cracking up. XDDD That's perfect.

I find it a little silly how the Yama in your icon is bouncing along perfectly to this song ... orz.

AHAHAHAAHAHA WIIIIIIIIIN!

I DIDN'T THINK OF IT EITHER but now I can't unthink it!!!

EVERYONE ON THE TOP OF PAGE TWO LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE HAVING SEX

AHHHHH IT'S A GIANT FLOATING DICK
thank you for reminding me that I am secretly twelve years old :|

lol I thought Tsuna beat Ghost too quickly...it's was like, 'really? the most powerful funeral wreath only takes a chapter?' and it's been a long time since there was a multi-chaptered battle that focused on only ONE BATTLE, like in the olden days >: sometimes the battles got too long but I think I miss it now. But now there's the Byakuran with everybody inside of him, so, here's to hope!

I do wonder why Byakuran bothered sneaking up on them, though, when Uni was just standing around practically unguarded just a half mile away or so.
You do have a point there XD now I wonder too.

Since when have you ever let someone goad you into something?
INORITE I was like "...SERIOUSLY MUKURO WHAT ARE YOU DOING" maybe he felt some secret connection with Xanxus.

If Byakuran crashes into a wall I will never stop laughing.

I totally WTFed at Byakuran's outfit XD not even Gokudera would want to look so ridiculous.

Rock God Fairy Princess Fireworks Byakuran
FFFFFFFFFFFF BYUAKURAN AHAHALKH INSIDE MY BODY~ it's like springtime for Byakuran ~~and his new woooorld~~~

YESSSS

thank you for reminding me that I am secretly twelve years old :|

Me too! There is no shame in it! /o/

I really thought the Ghost thing was going to be a psych-out, and that he'd reappear STRONGER THAN EVER, you know how it goes. But Byakuran popped up instead. Poor Ghost, but I guess a guy who walks around naked can only be allowed in so many chapters before SJ's editors raise some eyebrows. (And I agree that it's been too long since we had a nice, long in-depth fight. But there were a lot of complaints back in the old Melone Base invasion days, so I guess they're shying away from that now. I hope the final battle with Byakuran is nice and meaty though.)

Poor Uni has to sit around and wait while he gays it up in front of the other guys first.

I think it was just an excuse to shoot eyeballs at Byakuran, because when else are you going to get an opportunity like that? Still, it was a departure from his usual chilled-out attitude.

HAHAHA. Oh my god the mental image. XD

A week later, I've decided it's the jacket on top of everything else that really cinches it, even more than the twenty belts. Just... wow.

I can't wait to see what sparkly new antics he's getting up to this week.

As long as everyone gets their moment, I will not complain about it being too boring XD

I think it was just an excuse to shoot eyeballs at Byakuran
Oh okay, so doing something ironic is more important to Mukuro. I see how it is. Mukuro. Mukuro.

Oh my god the mental image.
heehee

THIS.

I pretty much lol'd the entire way through this chapter, NOT GONNA LIE. (And then I was like, OH MY GOD I WONDER WHAT

makeste IS GONNA SAY ABOUT IT /GLEE)

ajskdlf Ahahahaha, your reaction to that last page with Byakuran? I like your way of saying it better, but I pretty much had the same thought. |DDD "MAGICAL PRINCESS BYAKURAN" doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "ROCK GOD FAIRY PRINCESS FIREWORKS BYAKURAN" hahahahaha.

I-I fucking love your chapter write-ups. ♥

It just keeps on getting funnier, this manga. XD

Heh. |D And I'm told even more adjectives will need to be added to that description in the most recent chapter, which I still have yet to read. I'm almost afraid to see how Byakuran can manage to top himself. D:

Heh, thanks. ♥ I try to fill them with as much love and admiration-of-shameless-wtfery as possible.

I need like... a 'replay' button feature on OM so that I can watch this page again and again and again and again and again. RIGHT IN THE FACE. See, that's the kind of Action Hero Tsuna I love.

THIS. SO MUCH. Because I actually went YEAH!!! when in next page Tsuna mashes his knee on Byakuran's face 8D

I actually had forgotten about the wings! Tinkerbell and Babrie are such amateurs next to Byakuran when it comes to shine.

I agree with the people who advocated printing it out and framing it. TSUNA'S KNEE IS A GOOD LOOK FOR YOU, BYAKURAN'S FACE. |D

Hell, at the rate he's going, everyone is going to look amateurish compared to Byakuran's epic... Byakuranness.

1- In the raws Tsuna's literally screaming (at least I think) "HAAA!!" which I couldn't stop laughing at.

2- XDDD Amano's trying to tell us something...
LOL Basil faces. But hey, if I was seeing all this stuff in freaking person my face would be a permanent DDD8 too.

3- I think Amano likes making these things as graphic as Jump will allow her. Just for kicks.

4- Fran= awesome. I really hope they run into him when they get back to the past because I will miss the crap out of him (and Spanner, who, btw, needs to show up again already)

5- "AHHHHH IT'S A GIANT FLOATING DICK"
...It's really bad because I pictured an actual giant dick just floating in Byakuran's place. lsdfsaug WHY. *DIES*
Oh gosh he really is just trolling them too. This guy..

6- I feel like he did that because he's been dying to have an excuse to get a shot at him, and since Xanxus already started...

(...Mukuro calling Chrome ignorant is sort of ticking me of =/ I don't know why lol)

7- Oh yeah. I wonder where the hell he gets these get-ups. And then how the hell he can still look GOOD in them.

8- Yessssss that made me so freaking happy. Because Tsuna KICKED HIM IN THE FACE. I was carving someone getting kicked in the face and it's a main-character-to-main-villain moment of epic proportions and ahhh. YAYNESS 8D

9- Because if he wasn't then it wouldn't be as much fun to see him lose in the end. =D

10- XDDDD He looks so happy! I almost forgot how menacing he is. But I sure remembered how batshit he is. It's kinda making his outfit look like a straitjacket gone wrong.
"Rock God Fairy Princess Fireworks Byakuran"
I-it's so true. And now I'm kinda hoping that when this part comes in the anime "Perfect World" starts playing in the background. And that there's some DVD cut with him singing right after the episode. Oh this must happen.

1. How very shounen of him. XD

2. LOL, true. I'd be horrified at every damn thing.

3. She's sure been pushing the limits with the last few chapters, though. I mean, it's not gore or explicit sex or anything, but on the other hand it would almost be less uncomfortable if it were. At least I'm more jaded/used to that sort of thing. But the kind of stuff Amano keeps popping out of nowhere constantly catches me off-guard. XD

5. I was aware the mental image might not be what I intended, but I couldn't resist. o/

6. I suppose even Mukuro can't resist a chance to take a cheap shot at the big bad every so often. I'd be tempted too.

7. His ego carries the look. I have to admire him for it.

8. AGREED. It was glorious.

9. ...true.

10. a straitjacket gone wrong; haha, that sums up his look perfectly. AND THEY ABSOLUTELY MUST PLAY THAT.

3- Yeah, one never really knows what to expect on the next page, or even panel, and there's no real warning for it. I love that though Lol

7- It isn't an easy thing to pull of, yet it's so natural for him. *applauds*

8- Very much so. It's almost inspirational.

10- They do! And the best part is that despite the hilarity, everyone will still be so freaked out.

LOL that last comment.

What totally makes me shake my head is how much the Enishi-clone stereotype is being maligned by Byakuran, seriously. Enishi did this with class. Byakuran isn't being classy anymore.

Still, I'd have Byakuran over any of the Bleach minor baddies I see once in a while when I browse through Bleach.

Actually, it hasn't been revealed in the manga yet but, Rock God Fairy Princess Fireworks Byakuran is his full name. He just usually goes by his surname because it's easier (though markedly less accurate).

Well, Byakuran isn't so much about the class as he is about the crazy. XD And yeah, I'd say he's a cut above a lot of other baddies, including most of the ones from Bleach.

I... still can't even look at page three. I think I might be more traumatized by that than Veloci-hydra-raptor Kikyo? Urgh.... :(

On the other hand, Rock God Fairy Princes Fireworks Byakuran rather more than makes up for it!

When Tsuna asked everyone to stay back after basically, uh, eating Ghost (*sob*), I could have sworn it would be because Ghost would pop back out or take control of Tsuna's body or something. Byakuran having all the Flames is almost better than having to look at the re-hashed equivalent of soup!Ghost, I think (especially if he ends up having PINK. SPARKLY. WINGS!!!)

And OHLY SHIT, Xanxus and Mukuro's reactions made me giggle. Especially when you consider that they were protrayed for so long as THE nastiest guys around, and then they go and can't even scratch someone who... well, page 17. Enough said.

AND TSUNA. JUST... YES. THANK YOU, MINIBOSS, I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR WHAT I THINK MUST BE FOREVER AT THIS POINT FOR SOMEONE TO FINALLY TAKE A SLUG AT BYAKURAN. And the knee to the face was even better! Even if it only lasted for a second/did no damage, just the image of that happening makes me insanely happy. I officially have no complaints. :DDDDD

And the latest chapter is even more with the traumatizing. Amano just doesn't let up. XD (Though I have to agree, RGFPF Byakuran goes a long way toward making amends.)

I thought Ghost was going to pop up again too for a minute there. And then Byakuran appeared and was all, "LOL GUESS AGAIN :D". But it wasn't a bad turn of events. Although it's certainly powered him up way more than I'd really have liked. :/

That's true, now that you mention it. The big bads of the last two arcs can't even put a scratch on the newest villain. Does not bode well, but hey, that's shounen; if the antagonists didn't keep leveling up, it wouldn't be as fun. And it was pretty funny to see Xanxus and Mukuro through such ineffective tantrums. XD

Tsuna's noble attempts to break Byakuran's face will forever be recorded fondly in my memory. <3
