makeste | I'M LATE AGAIN.

BIRTHDAYS I HAVE MISSED:

half_sleeping's. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GUYS; I HOPE THEY WERE GOOD. ~~I haven't even checked my flist in a week, sob.~~

And then there are a bunch of comments I need to catch up on (sorry XD). And some memes. And also KHR 285.

1. Ha ha for some reason I cracked up at this first page. What with the whole "another peaceful day in Namimori" narration and the first panel shot of the sky and the birds flying, the call to the cows music just immediately popped into my head, and then I thought of all of the crazy stuff that will doubtless soon be happening to poor innocent Tsuna who is so sweetly and naively bidding farewell to his mother. lol.

Enma almost looked normal and unscary for a moment, and then the CREEPY EYES returned. This kid keeps luring me in and sucker punching me. Just. I don't even know.

2. It's kind of adorable seeing how awkward Tsuna is about trying to be friends with Enma, though. It's been a while since he's made any friends of the non-mafia variety (not that this is actually an exception to that, but for all he knows at the moment); what with him being the Vongola Tenth and having GUARDIANS and MINIONS, friends just sort of happen to him usually. So it's kind of sweet to see him in a more typical middle school social situation. (It reminds me of way back when he first met Yamamoto and he was SO EXCITED because OMG A POPULAR KID TALKED TO ME AND LIKED ME, AHHHH XD.)

Also, we finally got an explanation for the wtf that happened a couple chapters ago, which is nice. Apparently it was just "an electrostatic feeling", which makes me wonder if Tsuna has a huge freakout out every time someone walks across a carpet and touches him.

3. OH NO, GOKUDERA WAS LATE TO MEET UP WITH TSUNA AND NOW SOME NEW KID IS MACKING ON HIS BOSS. This is terrible. D: Seriously, I love how he comes running up to meet them before anything UNTOWARD can happen.

And like a good subordinate, he has been faithfully carrying out his boss's orders to study the hell out of the mysterious transfer U.M.A. OH WAIT, THERE WERE NO ORDERS, YOU SAY? Well, he certainly seems to recall there being orders, and his intuition is pretty damn good, so I dunno. I think your memory is getting a little iffy there.

4. S-speak of the devil and she shall appear...?? MY GOD, WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT THAT BLING? Byakuran's hard-earned title of Queen (yes, queen) of Fabulousness and Everything Else Awesome is in serious jeopardy at this point. He never drove around in a floating car... thing...? going "BAFUUN BAFUUN~." Though now I feel like he should have, just because.

5. FUCK YEAH, IT'S AN ADELHEID TAKEOVER. \o/ Looks like the showdown of the century has finally begun. And while it's good to see that Tsuna has confidence in his ever-dependable (that might not be the right adjective) Cloud Guardian, I can't help but think he's selling Adelheid short. I THINK SHE MIGHT SURPRISE YOU, BUD.

Besides, judging from the top left panel here, I'm pretty sure Adelheid has the Sharingan.

6. Heeeey, it's a party! Looks like everyone's gathered together (I'm impressed it happened within three chapters, considering that last time it took THE ENTIRE ARC for the two sides to gather and finally have a showdown) to cheer on their respective terrifying committee heads.

I'm totally rooting for Adelheid if it wasn't REALLY OBVIOUS, btw. XD Incidentally, I like how Aoba is apparently the only guy in the entire group who has hormones. Well, it wouldn't be shounen if we didn't have at least one character who is a pervert.

7. Holy shit this page. For a minute I thought I was accidentally reading Air Gear. XD Yeeeaaaah, so anyway.

8. Is Tsuna just that confident in Hibari's asskicking skills, or is he seriously oblivious to the fact that Adelheid is clearly more than holding her own in this fight? JESUS CHRIST, TSUNA, YOU'RE MORE LIKELY TO GET BITTEN TO DEATH (AGAIN) THAN SHE IS.

And now he just has to go and ruin the greatest battle in history, doesn't he? Sigh. I'd be really disappointed if it wasn't for the fact that this might just be the greatest page in all of manga history. The image of Tarzan!Reborn barreling into Tsuna causing his eyes to bug out while he assumes the LEO I'M FLYINGGGGG pose of Titanic fame is a panel for the ages. An instant modern classic. I GIVE IT FOUR STARS.

Sob that boy is so abused.

9. Although Adelheid brings up a good point here--for all his fail, Tsuna is kind of indestructible. Comes in handy, I suppose.

10. And at last we finally have some light shed on these guys...!

Oh, wait, this actually doesn't shed any light on them at all. OF COURSE THEY WERE PART OF ANOTHER MAFIA FAMILY, it's not like anyone ever shows up in this series who isn't. XD I guess Tsuna and co. still have yet to learn that they are the main characters of a mafia-themed shounen manga. EVERYTHING IS MAFIA. ALL THE TIME. ALWAYS.

Oh well, hopefully next week Reborn will actually be forced to explain what exactly the Mafia Inheritance Ceremony is (you know, aside from the obvious). And anyway, I can't stay mad at a chapter with Tarzan!Reborn, so. We still cool.

"an electrostatic feeling"
They have...chemistry?!

FAILY LIFE GOKUDERA YESSSS ♥

He never drove around in a floating car... thing...? going "BAFUUN BAFUUN~." Though now I feel like he should have, just because.
sdfsadgjfhjfdgkfd /crying
In a parallel world Shitt P was totally a pop star and Byakuran was totally her fan and listened to her while he ate marshmallows and smothered people with flowers and fantasized about preserving her body in a glass cylinder. Talk about a bad romance.

The image of Tarzan!Reborn barreling into Tsuna causing his eyes to bug out while he assumes the LEO I'M FLYINGGGGG pose of Titanic fame is a panel for the ages.
AHAHAHA THIS FOREVER
baww, I was kind of expecting Reborn to make Tsuna stop their fight because a serious fight right now would be too out of place @_@ NONETHELESS I REALLY WANTED TO SEE SOME MORE ACTION SOBBB TWO HOT PEOPLE FIGHTING ;__;
and ffff that panty shot XD I like how Aoba is apparently the only guy in the entire group who has hormones.
INORITE. You'd think there'd be more in a group of teenage boys...
AND I KINDA REALLY LOVE AOBA XDD HE IS HILARIOUS AND DAMN HOT AFLJHADSG I wonder if he knows that goddamn pervert mosquito old man.

And in that last page Enma just looks so liiittleeee aww it's kinda cute XD

Sob yes, Enma makes him feel all tingly inside apparently. XD A SPARK HAS BEEN IGNITED BETWEEN THEM.

I wonder if Byakuran based his entire image on Shitt P.'s style; mayhap he was her protege all along. IF SO, HE FELL QUITE A WAYS SHORT OF THE REAL DEAL.

I don't see how anything can be considered out of place in a manga where a space alien chick floats down the sidewalk in a bafuunmobile. :/ REBORN IS JUST A KILLJOY.

AND I LOVE AOBA TOO MAN HE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH HIS PRIORITIES IN THE RIGHT PLACE AND THE FACT THAT HE'S INCREDIBLY ATTRACTIVE MAKES IT ALL THAT MUCH BETTER. Also you are the second person to mention Shamal and now I am going to be really pissed off if he doesn't show himself soon, because HE NEEDS TO BE A PART OF THIS. Like now.

He is short, lol. His head doesn't even reach Adelheid's boobs. XD

BYAKURAN-->SHITT P IS NOW PART OF MY PERSONAL CANON

I don't see how anything can be considered out of place in a manga where a space alien chick floats down the sidewalk in a bafuunmobile.
b-but...pacing!...actually with how the last arc played out I shouldn't think of things like this. POINT TAKEN.

HAHA FOR ONCE AN ATTRACTIVE MALE WITH GLASSES WHO IS AN IDIOT XD TRUST REBORN TO BREAK THE NORM ~~actually all norms have been broken with shitt p~~. I AM SERIOUSLY LOVING ALL THE NEW CHARACTERS XD I wonder if they will stick around long enough to have canon back story revealed about them.
Shamal will def. be at the inheritance riiiiight???

~~NOTHING REACHES HER BOOBS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN~~

and kinda random but Enma's expressions really remind me of Spanner ;3;

I'M LATE AGAIN.
