TAKE MY HEAAAART

TAKE MY HEAAAAAAAAART

1. This cover text reminds me of the film A Little Princess (I say the film because I never read the book, whoops XD), specifically this song from the soundtrack. Which means that congratulations, Tsuna and Giotto, I can't take you seriously no matter how cool you are trying to look with your "heeeeey get a load of our cool rings/gloves" poses. Because while I'm watching you doing this, in my head I'm going, Take my heaaaaaaart, take my heaaaaaart, kindle it wiiiiiith yoooourrr heaaaaaart, and... yeah.

ETA: It has been pointed out to me that "Giotto" is in fact HDW!Tsuna, which is quite obvious in retrospect, so you may all proceed to point and laugh. I thought he was looking a little vertically challenged there.

2. Anyway, Tsuna and co. kick off the chapter by screaming the obvious (in Gokudera's case, screaming it at his crotch), but for once they have an excuse, since at least one member of the present company actually is blind. Talbot announces that the new items are called the Vongola Gear, which makes me a little sad because considering that this is KHR, I figured we had a real fighting chance of them actually being called the Vongola Bling. :( WOE.

More importantly, Talbot notes that the new gear is designed specifically for them, which makes me lol when I think about what's going to happen years down the road when it's time to pass them on to the next generation. HAHA, SCREW YOU, FUTURE LEADERS OF TOMORROW.

3. Talbot offhandedly mentions that Hibari is over in the next room, only he refers to him as "that kid with the murderous aura", which is hilarious to me because none of the other guardians needs any further description to know beyond a doubt exactly who Talbot is talking about. It's like, "murderous aura? Oh, it's Hibari." And then for some reason they're all like, "HEY LET'S GO CHECK IT OUT", but since they must already know that his success was a given, I can only assume that what they really wanted to do was just show off their new gear and then determine whose was the coolest.

Anyway, Hibari no doubt anticipated this since he has already fled the coop. Whether or not he did so out of embarrassment remains to be seen.

4. Anyway, then Ganauche runs in and announces that for once the Nonos have actually done something useful, which, wow. I think I need to sit down for a moment. You know, to process this and all.

So apparently Vongola Primo hid his love letters (or maybe they weren't actually love letters, but you can't blame me for being confused since they no doubt used the official pink Vongola stationery) to Shimon Primo in a safe place and fortunately they were not destroyed along with the other records. Ganauche (who's looking incredibly hot if I might add) goes on to explain that the Shimon base is located on a secret uninhabited island not too far from Japan, which I'm pretty sure is also the exact same location where Choice took place. But I guess I can't blame Amano for taking more time to design the new Vongola bling than to come up with original locations for boss battles with supervillains.

5. Tsuna wisely requests that the Ninth and his guardians stay as far away from the final battle as possible, but all joking aside, I have to confess that for a moment there I actually had to blink and reread this page and marvel at the fact that yes, this is the same Tsuna who has previously lamented again and again over the fact that it always has to be him who cleans up all of Vongola's messes. The very same. And now here he is, actually asking the rest of them to stay out of it and let him fight alone. Tsuna. Wants to fight. For the sake of his friends.

Holy shit, Reborn, what have you done. You actually made a boss out of this kid. You actually fucking did it. You crazy son of a bitch, I am in complete awe of you right now.

6. Tsuna continues to analyze his enemies' feelings LIKE A BOSS and argue with Squalo LIKE A BOSS until all of a sudden the Ninth stands up and is all "I'M STILL IN CHARGE AND YOU ALL HAVE TO FOLLOW MY ORDERS DAMN IT!!!" Everyone then proceeds to stand around making ._. faces until Timoteo decides to honor Tsuna's request, at which point their faces change to a mix of over-the-top >8| and :D reactions. All except for Ryohei, who settles on a decidedly more subtle reaction, because Serious Ryohei is still in the house, ladies and gents. Also we may possibly be in the Twilight Zone.

The Ninth then amends the Shimon family's guest list to include Reborn, just in case we hadn't all assumed that was a given (but I'm sure we had). However, he forbids Reborn to fight, because if he didn't do that, well, then he wouldn't be the Ninth, now would he?

By the way, I didn't realize Dino was at this meeting until he got a close-up on this page, at which point I became very amused because really, it's reached the point where they should just rename the Cavallone family "Vongola Jr" or something. It's not like they even bother to differentiate between him and their own guys anymore.

Hibari stalking the meeting from the window outside also made me lol.

7. SOMEONE FINALLY REMEMBERED THAT LAMBO EXISTS, HOORAY. Apparently Tsuna hasn't gotten over the thrill of yelling at people who could easily kill him yet, because he keeps arguing that Lambo can't fight because he's JUST A KID!! until Reborn finally gets fed up and gives him a beautiful kick that temporarily rearranges his face. Gokudera makes hilarious background expressions while the Ninth stands back and muses nostalgically on it all.

8. So once everyone's back outside the Vongola castle they start to calm down a bit and revert back to their natural gay family state (was that the difference between him and Enma? His family's level of gayness?), and Tsuna bids the others farewell and then immediately runs smack into his family's het just to spite me and my stupid comments.

...THEN AGAIN. MAYBE NOT SO HET AFTER ALL. Huh.

And it took all of one page to remind me that I have really missed Kyoko and Haru and I hope this isn't the last we'll be seeing of them in this arc. :|

9. However, Amano almost makes up for it with this page because OH MY GOD SHOUUUUUUU. *_____* SOMEONE ELSE I HAVE MISSED MORE THAN WORDS CAN SAY. As soon as I can find a place to do so without attracting weird and/or concerned glances, I am going to go prance around a bit.

10. AND LOOK WHAT HE SENT! SHINY NEW TOYS AND A PICTURE OF TYE!SPANNER LOOKING LIKE HE REPRESENTS THE LOLLIPOP GUILD. And who, incredibly, seems to have built these things in less than a week, and seems to be in the midst of hatching out some Disney Channel-esque scheme with Shouichi in order to go visit Japan while his parents no doubt believe he is sleeping over at a friend's house. Is it possible that TYE!Spanner is even more badass than his TYL!counterpart? All signs point to yes.

So once again, Amano manages to get a bye for the week despite the fact that there is STILL NO SIGN OF YAMAMOTO, DAMN IT. SURELY NEXT WEEK WE WILL GET AN UPDATE. RIGHT? SURELY THIS CANNOT CONTINUE INDEFINITELY? Sob.

Also, many happy returns,

amberrei! Hope you had a great birthday. ♥

For some reason I find it absolutely hilarious that those are the forms of the rings that, out of every possibility in the world, best suit their abilities. I mean... Gokudera's abilities are directly related to him being able to keep his pants on??

Also, I took one look at this and the first thing I thought was "...they make diapers for that, you know." (I'M SORRY OKAY I COULDN'T HELP IT.)

SPANNER DOES REPRESENT THE LOLLIPOPS GUILD. He is a card carrying MEMBER. ~~I might need an icon that says that.~~

And Spanner got the memories of how to build the headphones from his future self. Note, he probably built those, then built about 4 or 5 BETTER versions before making the final ones that he sent to Tsuna.

All of this in the time it would take you or I to make dinner.

lol, I love how... Lambo has been sleeping this whole time. Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat.

Also, I love Gokudera going 'ZOMG DID HIBARI FAIL /hopeful face' with Reborn and Tsuna going '...uh. No. It's Hibari.'

*appears with a black cloak inside a needle sphere* "I WAS WAITING FOR YOU. AND THIS POST."

1.It's not Giotto xD It's HDW Tsuna *p* LOL AT THE SONG X°°DD

4.*high five* Emo poetry makes a comeback? And, OMG. I had not thought about it O_O The Choice Island...!

5.Everything written in point five has been approved by ore-sama. Never too much love for my favourite moe bossu.

6. ....LIKE A BOSS. I loled at the emoticons, but Squalo was a bit more ">_>". xD

7. I have the feeling we will hear some histerical "Juudaime"s when this part will be animated. XD Here, and when Dino & Squalo snatch Tsuna away from Hayato. XD

8. THE GAYNESS *_* yea, that's it for sure °_°; And... you know? That rushed goodbye and the 'warm feeling' panel really let me think we'll not see them for a while... but I might be wrong.

9-10. I must admit I didn't react VERY strongly at the manga panels because I had already started singing when the spoilers came out. XD Sho-chan... well, I still prefer his 24 year old self for HOTNESS reasons. But I won't be a rabid fangirl here. Then, I saw Spanner. .... ........ OH MY I WANT MY CHILD TO BE LIKE THAT XDDDDD SO EFFIN CUTE! He's on par with Tsuna and Enma now :°°°DDDDDDDD

O-OH MY. THANK YOU! *^* I had a really good one. I went to the swimming pool, and, you know, I can't swim. AND MY FRIENDS WANTED TO TEACH ME. I just couldn't help but telling them there was a certain anime in which the same exact thing happened :°°°°DDD

About the belt, seriously speaking, if you remember well his boxes for sistema CAI were stored on his belt!

Any excuse to draw a panel of Gokudera's crotch?

Tsuna saying that he wanted to fight for his friends was pretty much the most badass part of this chapter :D

I'm actually curious as to what the big difference is. Unless it's something completely obvious that I just can't think of right now or something |D

Does Amano have nothing for the girls to do besides look at cake? *sigh*

SHOU-CHAN! Also, Spanner telling his parents he's at a friend's house is now canon in my head XD

YAMAMOTO ;_; I hope they figure out a way to take him on the boat, somehow.

i wonder how will Hibari go to the island.
Maybe he'll (reluctantly) hitch a ride like what he did with the bus in the OVA

Aaaw TYL Spanner is so cute. But it's kinda weird seeing him so chibi when i am used to see his adult version. ~~it make me less quilty drooling the adult version~~

I was gonna say he has the belt because of the C.A.I. but

amberrei beat me to it, oh well. XD But I'm pretty sure Talbot is BSing us and the rings really based their forms on what would look the coolest.

Also, THANK YOU FOR RUINING THAT PAGE FOR ME FOREVER. XD

THANKS FOR THE WARM WELCOME TO MUNCHKIN LAND, SPANNER.

And yeah, he got a huge crash course in headphone-building from Future Spanner, but still, to build newer and shiner ones using the resources of an average fourteen year old in A WEEK... that's something. He's kind of scary if you think about it.

Avoiding a catastrophic beatdown by taking a catnap... there are times when I honestly believe that Lambo is way cleverer than he looks. When he grows up, he can go vacation in Tijuana while the rest of the guardians let Tsuna get kidnapped.

I like to think that he realized how utterly implausible a suggestion it was even as he made it. XD

Look at Gokudera thrusting his hips forward to show everyone his Vongola Belt. Oh, Gokudera. I want to see his upgraded Sistema CAI now though...it's going to be HOT. Amano probably decided to call it Vongola Gear because it's slightly less gay? Although lol, bangles and bracelets, who are we kidding here.

Tsuna is stepping it up and acting like a boss. YES. And I love the fact that he's doing it for the sake of his friends, first and foremost.

Oh god that panel of Reborn kicking Tsuna in the face almost made me LOL, and I was reading this on my lunch break at work haha.

Shou-chan is so adorably geeky. "Here's a care package from Spanner! I'm so excited to see you all ~~at summer camp~~! We'll have so much fun!!!"

WHERE IS YAMAMOTO...he can't possibly be permanently injured after everyone else just got their awesome upgrades, right? RIGHT???

It's not Giotto xD It's HDW Tsuna

OH DAMN I TOTALLY MISSED THAT. Lol, you're right. And to think I was this close to making a joke about how short he appeared to be... XDDD

Come to think of it, I wonder if it actually is the very same Choice Island. Byakuran supposedly doesn't exist in this universe anymore, so it's very possible (likely, even) that that random city he built there doesn't exist anymore either. Huh...

I have the feeling we will hear some histerical "Juudaime"s when this part will be animated.

I HAVE A FEELING YOU'RE RIGHT.

Yeah, I got the unpleasant impression that they were just making a cameo now so that Amano didn't have to worry about them later. I really hope we're wrong, though. :|

I also prefer TYL!Shou for hotness reasons, you're not alone. XD But any Shou is a welcome Shou. And Spanner is just adorable. I want to take him home and let him build a laboratory in my garage and win science fairs and get patents and make me a millionaire. And in addition to being on par with Enma, he actually almost looks like he could be related to him.

DID THEY TRY TO TEACH YOU USING PHYSICS? XD Haha, anyway, sounds like a lot of fun; glad you had a good time. :)

Point! I'd forgotten about that. This does not at all reduce the hilarity, however.

You're welcome! XDDDD

Any excuse to draw a panel of Gokudera's crotch?

Of course! And it's not like fandom is exactly complaining. |D

Tsuna saying that he wanted to fight for his friends was pretty much the most badass part of this chapter :D

Definitely. The fact that he so rarely gets this determined makes it all the more awesome what he does, and I'm starting to think that was Amano's strategy all along.

To be honest, I would not be at all surprised if the big difference actually did turn out to have something to do with the bond between Tsuna and his family. XD But who knows. I'm curious too.

THAT'S WHAT GIRLS DO, ISN'T IT? WEAR CUTE CLOTHES AND COOK YUMMY THINGS AND GO SHOPPING TO BUY CAKE? Yeah, I agree, it would have been nice if they could at least have been shopping for cosplay items for Haru or some other thing that actually had to do with the personalities as opposed to their gender, at least. Maybe it was a Haru Appreciation Day? Sigh.

If Spanner's parents are even half as clueless as Tsuna's mom (or as clueless as she pretends to be, at least), it might actually work. XD

I'm so afraid this is going to end up being one of those things where he doesn't go with them and he's gone for so many chapters that we all but forget about him and then he finally shows up out of the blue to save everyone, and it's totally awesome but also totally not worth his being absent for like fifty chapters. PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN, AMANO. DON'T DO THIS TO US. :(

Yeah, I expect he'll probably just MYSTERIOUSLY SHOW UP when they're all about to board, and no one will ask any questions because they're all terrified of him, even though deep down they all know exactly what's up. YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE, HIBARI.

And TYE!Spanner is completely adorable. I actually think I like this version better; he's less creepy somehow (I always found the older Spanner just a little bit creepy, idk). XD

Amano probably decided to call it Vongola Gear because it's slightly less gay?

For all the good it did. XD And I too enjoyed the thrusting of Gokudera's hips. Here's hoping this is just the beginning of many Gokudera hip-thrusting panels to come.

I'm running out of creative ways to say "TSUNA IS AWESOME", but basically, yes. So much love for you, Tsuna. ♥

All the same, I will never tire of watching Tsuna be abused by Reborn. Never.

I'm so excited to see you all ~~at summer camp~~!

LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one who got that kind of vibe from Shou's dorky letter.

WHERE IS YAMAMOTO...he can't possibly be permanently injured after everyone else just got their awesome upgrades, right? RIGHT???

If there is any justice in the world at all, he won't be completely left out of all this awesome. Here's hoping. XD

I think the Big Difference between Enma & Tsuna'll probably be something family-related, too. |D Or, like, "You, unlike Enma, did not have a spectacularly shitty childhood and so he is WILLING TO KILL OMG and you are not" or something. Except that Enma at least does seem to have an OK relationship with the rest of Shimon...? Maybe...? I don't know, Shimon. They're such dorks. I'm still trying to process the concept of Enma the Badass and his Villain Corps.

Enma does seem to get along well enough with the rest of his family, even if they're not quite at the same level of ZOMG OUR BOSS IS THE BEST LET'S WORSHIP HIM that the Vongola have mastered.

Maybe it's more along the lines of "unlike Enma, you are actually capable of grasping the concept that what's past is past and what's important is THE FUTURE~." Because that's actually something the Shimon family does seem to have problems with. >_>

Too tired to do usual long comment soooo:
-Don't worry I thought it was Giotto too for a second. And then I saw headphones and it clicked.
-Epic Tsuna is epic. |D He should yell a Squalo more often. Or not, if he doesn't wanna become a tuna roll ahaha bad joke.
-Fuck yeah Irie and Spanner (who everyone wants to kidnap<3) 8DD
-I have a feeling Amano's on a "sorry for making terrible chapters guys!" streak. Looking forward to next week.

To be honest, I would not be at all surprised if the big difference actually did turn out to have something to do with the bond between Tsuna and his family. XD

Yeah, I know there's a big chance it'll be that, but the ninth just sounds so mysterious about it.

They're probably not gonna be in the rest of the arc, either, at this rate. Unless they somehow find out what's going on and sneak on the boat, or something...

Maybe now since Ryohei's gotten the upgrade, he can test out his healing on Yamamocchan?

...Except that Tsuna totally already killed Byakuran. Which no one seems to want to acknowledge in the manga :|

But yeah, it's probably something about the Power of Friendship :P

It's okay, I thought it was Giotto, too, until you mentioned something. >__>

Lol, deserted island. I hope there's a volcano there. And a bald man stroking a fluffy kittycat. Actually, I hope this island vacation doesn't take too long. I thought we were going to see more of the mafia and those Chinese Leilei and GOKUDERA'S PAPA, but noooooo, we're going to an island without the girls and Yamamoto. *angryface* D:<

Why is Reborn never allowed to fight? It's not like this is training for Tsuna--this is supposed to be a mafia war. I should think he would like to give Shimon a piece of his mind, seeing how they basically incapacitated his protégé.

NEXT CHAPTER HAD BETTER INCLUDE YAMAMOTO + YAMAPAPA OR I'M GOING TO AKLJDF;AKLSDJF. THIS IS NOT FUNNY ANYMORE. DX

sf;jsdgkjdsgjdsglsdjag TYE!SPANNER OMFDGF GAS:JDGDGS:LJAGHe
I CAN.
DIE.
OMG.
~~no wait I have to see them in action~~
ASDF:KLSd
dgjasgladsg]
T__________T I love life.

now that that is out of the wayyy XD

OMG VONGOLA BLING )): SUCH A MISSED OPPORTUNITY. I VOTE VONGOLA BLING FOR PRESIDENT PLZ

I am excited for more ~~crotch~~ belt shots of Gokudera's new accessory, oh yeahhhh. And to see what everyone else is getting 8DD
I bet Hibari's is going to be some...disciplinary...thing...maybe he'll get a pimp cane. I would have said whip but that's his ghey teacher's thing.

the exact same location where Choice took place
I KNOW RIGHT. I WAS LIKE 'ANOTHER SECRET ISLAND SRSLY'
BOSSES OF THE PACIFIC COMING SOON hey, I would watch it

Tsuna continues to analyze his enemies' feelings LIKE A BOSS
I love when Tsuna was like 'THIS IS NOT A MAFIA WAR.' He always fights for his friends, but him saying that felt like...really mature and BOSS like, but still him. He's grown so much bawww ;w;

AND THEN HE IS GONNA RIDE A BOAT LIKE A BOSS HOLY SHIT

lol Hibari will definitely be there to reclaim his pride, which he will proclaim in his new found outspoken-ness. duh.

that panel with Haru and Kyoko was so ;w; despite the...predictable setting :| and the happy faces next to the goodbye! wahhh T_T

SHOUICHI SPANNER SHOUICHI SPANNER SHOUICHI SPANSDLKF THEY WERE IN CONTACT AND THEY WILL ALL MEET UP SOON OH MAN *_* NEXT WEEK SHOULD HAVE BEEN YESTERDAY

Anyone else here think that TYE!Spanner looks a bit like Near from Death Note?

6. I LOVE TSUNA. When he argued with SQUALO, I knew he could do ANYTHING.

8. I've missed them too!!! ;_;

9. 10. After all, I think that the most important thing in this whole chapter was Shouichi and Spanner. I forgot everything that happend before when Tsuna received that letter.

Ok, now... Talbot was just forgotten, he disappeared and nobody noticed or cared about it. o__O

Vongola Gear is the most merchandising name in the world. Like, you could not have come up with something more marketing-y if you TRIED.

the new gear is designed specifically for them, which makes me lol when I think about what's going to happen years down the road when it's time to pass them on to the next generation.

Ahahahaha. I feel bad for the next-gen guardians, because everyone is always going to be bitching about how Decimo did it better. And he fixed absolutely everything and saved the world 4326918 times before he turned twenty. And oh yeah, he was the reincarnation of Primo. Hello, new kids; what are you going to do for your first day in office?

So apparently Vongola Primo hid his love letters (or maybe they weren't actually love letters, but you can't blame me for being confused since they no doubt used the official pink Vongola stationery) to Shimon Primo in a safe place and fortunately they were not destroyed along with the other records.

*lolz* I can at least take some comfort in the fact that the Vongola's incredibly shitty records-keeping was apparently intentionally really shitty.

Tsuna. Wants to fight. For the sake of his friends.

Holy shit, Reborn, what have you done. You actually made a boss out of this kid. You actually fucking did it. You crazy son of a bitch, I am in complete awe of you right now.

I KNOW RIGHT. ♥ ♥ ♥ Tsuna's core motivation has always been "get me out of this Mafia thing" and now he is saying HE WANTS TO FIGHT. FOR HIS FRIENDS. Yes yes yes Reborn you really did it. *single proud tear for Tsuna*

By the way, I didn't realize Dino was at this meeting until he got a close-up on this page, at which point I became very amused because really, it's reached the point where they should just rename the Cavallone family "Vongola Jr" or something. It's not like they even bother to differentiate between him and their own guys anymore.

Hahahaha yeah. They don't even fuckin' care that Dino knows all their secrets and just hangs out with the Varia when he's not with Tsuna. I don't think they even remember his name is Cavallone. XD

KYOKO AND HARU KYOKO AND HARU KYOKO AND HARU EEEEEEEE I want like a whole chapter just about Kyoko and Haru and Hana. None of the other characters even have to get mentioned. ♥ (Also wow Kyoko when did you get so gorgeous. Do that more.)

Also I love that Shouichi and Spanner are apparently hanging out together doing their geek thing and just haven't bothered to come talk to the Vongola yet. KEEP DOING YOUR . . . MAFIA STUFF, WE'LL HAVE A GUNDAM FOR YOU BY NEXT WEEK.

Actually, that might be the difference. Enma maybe thinks things over too much, but if someone is definitely endangering Tsuna's friends and he can't take care of them any other way Tsuna will just kill them. It's like that quote about "if ever a man has you completely at his mercy, hope like hell that man is an evil man. A good man will kill you with hardly a word."
