AN EVENTFUL CHAPTER.


1. So I clicked on the first page here, and immediately had the following sequence of thoughts:

  1. BOOBS.
  2. Oh, that's Hibari. Why is he upside-down?
  3. ...where are his pants?

What I now want to know (besides the answer to the pants question) is, how many of you had the exact same thought process? Just out of curiosity. And let it never be said that Amano does not know how to draw covers that inspire conversation. XD


2. Tsuna looks like he only just now noticed the boobs.

Oh wait, they're all still surprised about last week's mafia revelation. Why are they surprised? Oh hell, let's just go along with it.

And how come Julie doesn't get a reaction panel on the bottom with all the rest? Is he not good enough or something? What exactly are you trying to say here, Amano?


3. "Yep, all seven, according to my sources." WHAT SOURCES. THE ATTIC IS A SOURCE?

Haha I love how Enma is all "WELL YOU NEVER ASKED." In his defense, Tsuna really should start asking people. Because seriously, every single person in Namimori is in the mafia.

Though I should note, Enma doesn't actually seem too thrilled at being ratted out. Is he possibly disappointed that he didn't get to make a friend on his own terms for once in his life without it having something to do with the mafia? OR DOES HE JUST ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THAT? It's hard to tell, because his face, it does not change like a normal person's. XD

And wow, burn, Reborn. Buuuuuurn.


4. Vongola really needs to get its act together. The hell kind of family is so disorganized that four of its top guardians (including the RIGHT HAND MAN, who NEVER GETS TO BE IN THE KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING, APPARENTLY) have to find out about a hugely important ceremony from a RIVAL FAMILY, of all places? Granted, anyone who complains about getting exposition from Adelheid needs to do some good, long soul-searching about how to be grateful for the little things in life, but still.

Anyway, so we're finally getting all of this confirmed now. The ceremony takes place in seven days, and Tsuna will officially become the Tenth boss, which I confess is actually pretty cool, because I didn't expect anything like this to happen for years. I figured they'd at least wait until he was eighteen or something, but silly me.

More importantly, Adelheid says the Shimon gang came to Namimori because it was convenient, so does that mean the ceremony is taking place there instead of in Italy? Because if so, GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.


5. Ryohei brings up a legitimate point! And in an intelligent manner, which is actually a pretty damned big deal... SO OF COURSE REBORN IMMEDIATELY SHOOTS HIM DOWN. You're such a bitch, Reborn.

...Doesn't this seem like an awful lot of power to place in the hands of someone who says things like "Eek"? XD


6. OOH WE GETTIN' LOTS OF FUN MAFIA ACTION UP IN HERE SOON. It's the big mafia social event of the season! Everyone's coming down! Trad 6 is coming down! The Leilei brothers (ARE THEY RELATED TO I-PIN I WONDER) are coming down! The Giegue family is coming down! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S UP WITH THE GIEGUE FAMILY. THEY MADE GOKUDERA ALL NERVOUS AND SWEATDROPPY, I'VE GOT TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THEM.

Ooh, and speaking of, I wonder if Gokudera's dad's family is coming down. :D Suddenly this arc is just brimming with potential.


7. Oh, Tsuna, you are so painfully cute and naive. But that's why I love him. Even now, all he wants is to just be a normal guy.

Kinda flies in the face of what Enma's saying here. Who says power corrupts? For someone who saved the goddamn world, Tsuna sure doesn't have much in the way of ambition.

Incidentally, Enma's actually pretty not-creepy here. And here, too. Suddenly his formerly terrifying stare has become a wistful shota gaze of adorableness. *_*


8. J-Jesus Christ omg. XDDD First there was Tarzan last week, and now for whatever bizarre reason he's dressed up as a female tennis player? SOB WHAT IS HE TRYING TO DO TO ME.

The way Tsuna says "good... friends?" reminds me of the way Zapp Brannigan says "good friends", and makes me wonder exactly when we can expect to see the piles of 27/Enma doujin that are surely being drawn as we speak.


9. And once again, Tsuna is surprised by something he shouldn't be. Of course bad things are going to happen. A hugeass group of the world's most powerful (and not-so-powerful) families are all gathering in Namimori for a ceremony some of them almost certainly object to. Yeah, that's really going to end well.

SUDDEN HARPOONS! Yes, now this is exactly the sort of thing we should all be expecting.


10. OH MY GOD WHAT IS HE. HOW DOES A GUY AS BIG AS A HOUSE GO AROUND SNEAKING UP ON PEOPLE? I would think someone like that would actually make a terrible assassin, but whatever.

Well, all right, then, Tsuna, why don't you go ahead and show us all why the Ninth is so confident that you're ready to take up the Vongola mantle. MAKE US PROUD.


So, we got the exposition out of the way, and now our first real battle; looks like this arc is getting a move on at last. WHAT IS THIS STRANGE FEELING? I think it is called anticipation. :D Heehee, I can't wait for next week.

I'm actually glad to see Reborn cross dressing again. I MISSED REBOKO!!!!

Also, CLOUD FLAMES! He's not really that... you know there's a penis joke to be made there.

Enma kind of reminds me of Longchamp's Downer bullet. Hard to hate him, he's just so pathetic and depressed.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:26 am (UTC)(link)
He's surprisingly good at it this time around. I don't remember him being that good at it! But this time he really went all out and got in touch with his inner lady.

JESUS CHRIST I AM NOT EVEN GOING TO GO THERE.

Lol, now that you mention it. XD I wonder if he's kinda just permanently stuck in that mode all the time, kind of like Ryohei's constantly going around with a dying will.

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't he make a nice athletic training lady when training Yamamoto? Maybe he only looks pretty when he decides he needs to impress someone. (Like, you know, Yamamoto. Or this new never heard of before family.)

ALSO. I don't know where Hibari's pants are. I assume they're behind the gradient.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
I can't even remember. XD All I can remember is that one chapter where he started to dress up as Bianchi and then got bored halfway through and decided it was good enough... I wish I could remember what chapter that was, because now I want to see it again. Anyway, yeah, he's probably just putting in the extra effort because he needs to remind Enma that Adelheid's not the only sexy around. Vongola can work it too.

His lower body just turned into some sort of weird rectangular blob. And yet he looks as untroubled as ever. What a guy.

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
Oi, the Vongola do it BETTER.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:51 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, they do have style, I can't deny that.

[identity profile] irtiolre.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 09:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry for randomly interjecting, but the chapter was the Gokudera Training Program chapter, right here. 8D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
THANK YOU lol that page always cracks me up. XD Yeah, that's why I had it in my head that Reborn + crossdressing = amazing yet disastrous results.

[identity profile] escherichiacola.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:25 am (UTC)(link)
The way Tsuna says "good... friends?" reminds me of the way Zapp Brannigan says "good friends", and makes me wonder exactly when we can expect to see the piles of 27/Enma doujin that are surely being drawn as we speak.

This fills me with hope.

Plus some other emotions which are weird and deeply confusing.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:34 am (UTC)(link)
As Tsuna will soon learn, Enma suffers from a very sexy learning disability. Sexlexia. Mmhmm, that's right.

[identity profile] poisontea.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
ACTUALLY MY THOUGHT PROCESS WAS MORE:

1. BOOBS.
2. ... that is Hibari is Hibari wearing a skirt?

D'awww, poor Enma. He's such a huge woobie. HE JUST WANTS TO MAKE A FRIENDDDD.

... pffft glassesTING on page 03. |D And I love how there's a row of SURPRISED REACTION SHOTS at the exclamation... except for Hibari, who's as B| as usual.

The Giegue family makes Gokudera nervous because of Giegue, aka Giygas. 8| This is now headcanon for me until proven otherwise!

... "The Grave-Diggers of Russia" is a pretty fuckin' badass name either way, though, I gotta admit.

Lmao Gokudera at his desk looks like he's a girl awaiting his first date with the local heartthrob. XD

Oh god, wistful shota gaze of adorableness is right. :< Oh, man, Amano, why you gotta make the new kid socute.

AND LMAO HIS EYES WHEN REBORN IS CROUCHING ON HIM. oAo!! And MY GOD YOU WEREN'T KIDDING THAT GUY IS HUGE AND TERRIFYING.

All I have to say about this chapter is AW ENMA IS SO CUTE and things about the mafia being ridiculous + Tsuna is Crouching Failure Hidden Badass and. Things. I CANNOT WAIT FOR MORE OF THIS ARC, SERIOUSLY.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
CLOSE ENOUGH. XD

It may happen that I will eventually look back on this chapter as the point where Enma finally stopped creeping me the hell out. We shall see.

I need to stop being surprised at the characters being surprised about mafia things happening. Hibari's the only one who isn't embarrassing himself here.

"EMBODIMENT OF EVIL" GOOD LORD WHAT IS THAT? Well, judging by that pic, it is definitely cause for alarm. XD And I wouldn't put it past Gokudera to be an Earthbound fan, cute little nerd that he is.

Well, Tsuna becoming the official boss means he gets to be the OFFICIAL right hand man, after all, so it's all his dreams come true. He does look hilariously blissful there.

TSUNA TOTALLY MADE THE EXACT SAME FACE HE DID IN THE TARZAN SCENE FROM THE LAST CHAPTER. And I cracked up again. I want Reborn to jump on his head in every chapter. Bug-eyed Tsuna should become a new tradition.

I LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS CHAPTER AND I WANT MORE.

[identity profile] poisontea.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Even with his freaky eyes, Enma never actually creeped me out. :c I don't know why. I was just like. "Awww, potentially evil woobie," but now I'm leaning more towards the "okay, probably not evil" side of things.

Everyone in this series is hilariously surprised by things they shouldn't be surprised by. And then we don't get HUGE SURPRISED REACTION PANELS where we really could use them. Like Byakuran sprouting pretty sparkly wings the first time, I would have loved to have seen just like. Two pages full of *GONK* reaction shots. XD

Oh my god, you have never seen things about Giygas? That thing has probably the creepiest Madness Mantra in any video game ever. "It hurts..... it hurts... I'm h...a...p...p...y... Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness, Ness..... I feel g...o...o...d..." And all this WHILE YOU ARE BATTLING IT cos it won't shut up, and every time it attacks you back the box that states what's going on in the battle just goes "You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas's attack!" It's freaky. 8|

YES. He is officially right hand man ALL HIS DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE~

Oh god he did. XD Reborn jump-kicking Tsuna in the head needs to be a renewed habit. IT'S HOW HE SHOWS AFFECTION, REMEMBER! He did it at the beginning of the Future Arc, too! "The back of your head was made for the arch of my foot" and all. :3

I CAN GET BEHIND YOU ON THAT.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
To me so far it's been like an all-or-nothing thing; he's either SUPER-CREEPY or SUPER-ADORABLE. I just can't decide which is the one true Enma.

It cracks me up, though; I don't know, something about completely disproportionate reactions. "OH MY GOD THEY'RE MAFIA SERIOUSLY?!!?!" versus "Hmm, okay, now there are wings." These guys. XD

That is all kinds of unsettling. :/

FINALLY, EVERYTHING'S COMING UP GOKUDERA.

And it's true. Never change, Reborn, never change.

[identity profile] amcw177.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
Actually, my first thought was: Heeee, Hibari can peek under Adelheid's skirt! LOLOLOL Yes, my thought processes are rather simple...

THE ATTIC IS A SOURCE?
Totally. It's the source of all knowledge, the portal to Shangri-La, Area 51 and the universe's only multidimensional space port. YOU DID NOT KNOW THAT?! Also, it's dusty.

I LOL'd when Reborn talked about the Shimon family because: diplomacy - ur doing it wrong. XD But then again, it's not like Reborn needs to fear anyone except for, maybe, God or something.

I want backstory on how Gokudera knows these Russian assassins LIKE BURNING.

[identity profile] snapdraw-gone.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
Adelheid: Damn that Japanese text, covering those sexy legz

Agreed and also: Modern Japanese houses' attics are also the places where you can dig up centuries old Italian family history. (Never mind that the house doesn't look like it's been around for longer than Iemmitsu and Nana have been married)

Maybe a smiling Luche...?

They were the ones who first introduced cheap Russian cigarettes to prepubescent runaway Hayato-bochama...? LAWL Now I wish I could understand Russian just to try writing how that scenario turns out.. >XDD

[identity profile] amcw177.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 12:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe it's like the L-space in Terry Pratchett's discworld novels. It connects all libaries that exist/have existed/are yet to be built. You can go in and come out last Tuesday in a library in Tibet. Perhaps this one connects to other attics? XD It would fit in with the rest of the space-time-bending that's going on in Reborn LOL

Ooooh! Totally possible! \o/

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)
But such a gift is wasted on him! IF ONLY IT HAD BEEN AOBA ON THE COVER.

I should have known the Vongola would invest in only the very best and most destiny-filled attics. XD

Reborn just tells it like it is. Tact is for lesser beings. I suppose he doesn't care whether or not it backfires as long as it doesn't affect him. XD

DITTO. That was foreshadowing if I ever saw it, and I want the payoff now.

[identity profile] amcw177.livejournal.com 2010-04-18 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Aoba would have died from all his nosebleeding if it had been him. Maybe it's better this way ROFL

[identity profile] ojuzu.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Never mind pants, where the hell are his legs? He just fades to grey below the belt.

Gosh, we had no idea this set of seven transfer students that correspond very closely to Tsuna + his guardians were mafia! What a shock! (I did love Enma's "You never asked." line, though. :D)

I really hope they're just gathering together so they can fly to Italy on a single plane or something. I WANT TO SEE THE REST OF THE VONGOLA, DAMMIT. >( I'm really excited for the ceremony in any case, though. And we get to see some of the other mafia! I CANNOT PROPERLY EXPRESS MY EXCITEMENT, SRSLY. :DDDD

Suddenly his formerly terrifying stare has become a wistful shota gaze of adorableness. *_*

That's what we were trying to tell you! ;) I am anticipating the fic/doujin with glee.

FemaleTennisPlayer!Reborn is hilarious yet oddly terrifying.

. . . Your Tsuna has evolved into Cool!Tsuna! :D I guess this lends credence to my theory the canon that Tsuna actually wants to be an ordinary wimp as much as he can, but he can switch on the badass whenever he needs it. Now if only we could make him run both programs at the same time, so he wouldn't just die if someone attacked him during his downtime. . . . *ponders*

Long comment is long.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
It's the strangest thing. Like he's being sucked into a black hole or something.

I for one am amazed at this most unexpected of plot twists. (I agree, it was definitely one of the better lines to come along in this series. Perfect comic timing.)

Oh God I almost don't want to dare to hope at this point. WILL WE NEVER SEE THEM IN ITALY? At least we'll get to see some of the other Vongola either way, I suppose. And tons of other mafia, like you said. IT'S GONNA KICK ASS.

I just couldn't see it until now! HAS HE FINALLY SUCCEEDED IN JESUSING ME? I dunno; it's like he has two opposite settings, really. When he's adorable, he's really adorable, but when he's creepy, boy look out. I WISH THERE WERE SOME MIDDLE GROUND. Ditto.

I was very disturbed by how cute he was. Very disturbed.

Yeah, he's fully capable of going into badass mode without a second thought, but most of the time, he tries to avoid it at all costs. He really loathes being a superhero. But I really dig the contrast; it's like Enma, except that instead of 'creepy', Tsuna's alternate setting is 'AWESOME.' Heh.

Drive by comment~~

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't even notice Adelheid's boobs until you pointed them out. I wonder what that says about me.

And really, E-what's-his-face really should look a bit closer at Tsuna, he's not exactly the power hungry type... that's more Hibari and Adelheid. That couple could rule the world with boobs and handcuffs.

Back to studying nao. I have 261 words to memorize until next week. Aside from that, I also have a lot of grammar and stuff to study. Blargh, Japanese is killing me.

Re: Drive by comment~~

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 05:15 pm (UTC)(link)
THAT YOU'RE PRETTY HET? XD

Yeah. I guess Tsuna is mostly the exception to the rule, though. What a sexy, terrifying world that would be.

OH WOW GOOD LUCK. D: At least you're learning something useful, right?

Re: Drive by comment~~

[identity profile] nilly-chan.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
IDK, MAYBE? I PERSONALLY THINK THAT ADELHEID GOES BEYOND SUCH BORDERS AS SEXUALITY. XDDD

Yeah, too much Dame Tsuna to be power hungry I guess. :P Indeed, very much so. :P

THANKS, I will need it. Though, strictly speaking, I have like 72 words more, but my teacher won't test me next week, so I can wait with those, even though I shouldn't since it will only make it more the week after next, but lol, hey, I don't need more words right now. XD Worst part? Most of them is kanji, so I not only must I know how to spell it in hiragana (which is easy) I must also know how to write them in kanji (that's a lot more to study in, really). Indeed, I'm trying to use it for manga and anime lol, loser already, I'm still not quite that good. xDDD

Re: Drive by comment~~

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 07:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh geez. Is there any torture worse than the agony of trying to memorize kanji? XD But it's good that you're putting it to use; it fades pretty quickly otherwise (I know one guy who used to have thousands of kanji memorized, but it's been so long since he's read/written Japanese that he only remembers a few of them now). Anyway, like I said, good luck!

[identity profile] smilypie.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
1- Yeah, I sorta had the same thought process too. Except "Did they...grow or something? How is the rest of her torso so small?" was somewhere in there too.

2- She's trying to say he's a good enough mist user that his reaction panel is there but WE DON'T SEE IT? If he is a mist user, lol.

3- Reborn got them connections yo. I'm guessing he's referring to the attic, the Ninth, Leon and some wondering animals. (And Hibird?! Shit that would be crazy if Hibird was really becoming the Vongola's secret bird assassin.)

4- Truth be told I was really hoping that it wouldn't be until a few years from now because I do thing they deserve a freaking break before their lives are fully into this whole mafia jazz. Still happy (and wish Tsuna would CALM DOWN about it) though.

5- Tsuna stop being such a fraidy-cat, GOODNESS.

6- It's the biggest mafia event of the decade! Everyone's like, so gonna totally be there. Sucks if you weren't invited~! 8D (lololol)
Gokupapa has to be there because it would be so cool/sad and fdskfg

7- I can't say I blame him for wanting to be normal, but he needs to get the "HIIIIII~!!!" slapped out of him, as well as the idea that he'd be anywhere near talking to Kyoko if it wasn't for all this scary mafia shit 8|||||

8- YOU ARE THE PRIIINCE(SS?) OF REBOOOOORN!

10- ..How is Squalo a rain attribute and a highly skilled assassin when he goes around screaming VOOOOOOOOOII! all the time? The impossible is possible with this series.
We're gonna see an X-burner next week, GDI we're gonna see an X-burner next week PROVE ME WRONG AMANO. Well it'll be good to see some action >8DD
Next week's gonna be GREAT!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
1. Those boobs do arrest one's attention in a powerful way. XD

2. LOL, I like that interpretation. Sneaky mist user is sneaky.

3. Hibird is totally a mafia spy/assassin. No one would ever suspect a bird that cute and innocent--he's perfect for the job.

I wouldn't even put that past Amano, either. XD

4. I agree with that; it's a hell of a lot of pressure to put on a bunch of middle school kids who only JUST got back from a terrifying future in which EVERYONE THEY LOVED WAS DEAD BAWWWW. They just can't catch a break. But for us readers, it's a nice twist in terms of story and character development.

5. Heehee, but he's such a cute little wimp.

6. I bet the families that weren't invited are just going to gate-crash anyway. Unless Reborn employs some awesome mafia bouncers (in which case, I have got to see this XD).

And yeah, it's such a perfect opportunity for angst and possibly even character arc resolution! PLEASE DO NOT PASS UP THIS CHANCE, AMANO.

7. Aww, in this case I have to disagree. I love that he's still as much of a spaz as ever; I know everyone's excited for him to grow up and finally become the cool Tsuna we... sort of...? saw in the TYL!verse, but part of me hopes he won't ever change, at least too much. His denial is endearing.

10. POINT. Mafia assassins in general just suck. XD ONE DAY WE'LL MANAGE TO GO FIVE WHOLE CHAPTERS WITHOUT AN X-BURNER, DAMN IT. Next week's chapter is going to put the zing in amazing.

[identity profile] smilypie.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 06:20 pm (UTC)(link)
1- Indeed they do XD

3- IKR? What with Reborn's ability to communicate with animals, it's almost too possible

4- Yeah, I feel really bad that they can't get a liiitle taste of a normal life first. I mean the Ninth's not kicking the bucket anytime soon (right?! D=). But yeah, can't say this isn't exciting to read lolol.

6- Oh hell yeah, there's gonna be people trying to crash. And I could picture these huge muscley guys standing before gates of ~*~*regal mafia fabulousness*~*~ all "Uhh yea, dis family ain't on the list. Nice try, bub."

7- Yeah, I see where you're coming from, but it just bothers me that he can't see the inevitable. I mean, WHY ME?! is better than NO IT'S NOT HAPPENING. Maybe I'm just asking too much lol

10- Seriously. I bet Shitt P's supposed to be a ninja XDD

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 07:30 pm (UTC)(link)
3. I now expect to see the full details of this plot twist revealed any day now.

4. CONSIDERING THAT NO ONE EVER EVER EVER DIES IN KHR EXCEPT FOR BYAKURAN and Gamma and Uni, I can only assume that the Ninth is healthy as all get out, and is only making Tsuna the official boss because he's getting lazy. Time for him to retire and enjoy his old age while the kids slave away their youthful days.

6. It would be hilarious if this happened and we got an omake of like Skull standing there, and the bouncers are all, "Nope, not on the list," and he's like "BUT BUT BUT I'M AN ARCOBALENO!" and they're just, "Sorry," and then he runs away crying. If they put Reborn in charge of the guest list, fun times will be had.

7. Well, it's not so much that he can't see as he refuses to see, which is just part of his character, really. He's just stubborn that way, and I can't really blame him.

10. Shitt P. might actually be an effective assassin just because I can imagine people just standing there gaping at her while she walks up and kills them. She could use her ability to make people WTF to her advantage. XD

[identity profile] smilypie.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
3- Wonder if Hibari's in on it or not 8O

4- Yeah, it's 'bout time for the youngins to take over. And remember! this is all just the Ninth's generous plan to get Tsuna and Enma to make friends. Of course. lolol

6- Poor Skull D8 I'm sure Reborn's in charge of the list because no one eles really wants to and he'd have too much fun with it.

7- True, and probably why Amano had Enma ask why he didn't just run away... Makes more sense when I think about it.

10- Ffff I'd love to see that. But her biggest weakness would be if she had to face Lady Gaga fans, since they would just ambush her.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 10:17 pm (UTC)(link)
3. He probably is, since he'd probably through a huge tantrum if he found out Reborn was using his bird as a mob assassin without permission.

4. To be fair, if the Ninth's life as a mafia boss has been anything remotely like Tsuna's life as a mafia boss, I can understand why he's so eager to retire already. XD

6. Haha, yeah. That and he seems to know everyone there is.

7. I wrote a humongous essay all about Tsuna and why I love his failness months ago. And then I never posted it because I didn't really like how it came out. XD But I'm debating dusting it off and trying again, because I like to ramble about him.

10. LOL YES. NOT AS PLANNED--!

[identity profile] smilypie.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
3- LOL yeah, though he might let it slide if Reborn promised him a fight or something. Though this would make it more understandable why Hibird has a gps (if I remember correctly) on his leg in the future.

4- Woe is the fate of the Vongola Boss.

6- Except for the Shimon family, apparently.

7- Lolol, I'd love to read it 8D

[identity profile] azartti.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I'm the onlye one who hasn't trwon away the idea of Enma ando co turning into enemies. Not that I want but it's the perfect opportunity to the family to gain power again, if they can defeat the Vongola.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 10:06 pm (UTC)(link)
NO, ME TOO! I was just thinking last night that it really wouldn't surprise me if we got halfway through this arc and the Shimon family suddenly pulled a betrayal on us. It would make for great drama after the time Amano's devoted to showing the development of their friendship, and it wouldn't be too far-fetched, either; like you said, considering their family's low standing, they could stand to gain a lot.

And then I wondered if I was really that jaded that I would immediately suspect Enma and co. of having ulterior motives for being friendly. Sob. XD

[identity profile] azartti.livejournal.com 2010-04-19 03:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Lol yeah, either that or Longchamp puts on the betrayal. I HOPE Lonchamp shows in this arc, otherwise I'll be awfully sad :(

[identity profile] irtiolre.livejournal.com 2010-04-16 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
D: Why do all the awesome girls have to have giganto boobs?

Loved Gokudera's happy desk face there. XD;

4. Vongola really needs to get its act together. The hell kind of family is so disorganized that four of its top guardians (including the RIGHT HAND MAN, who NEVER GETS TO BE IN THE KNOW ABOUT ANYTHING, APPARENTLY) have to find out about a hugely important ceremony from a RIVAL FAMILY, of all places?

WHY DO THEY ALWAYS EXCLUDE GOKU ;A; You think he's only right hand man in name.. On random other note, I seriously hope Amano lets him win a major battle soon. I keep on forgetting that he's actually a pretty good fighter since he loses so much. orz

BUT ANYWAY I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER. I didn't realize how much I missed AWESOME!Tsuna haha.

Probably some unwritten shounen rule or something. Sigh.

MOST ADORABLE FACE EVER. He's totally on cloud nine.

First he didn't get to be in on the let's-kill-TYL!Tsuna-but-not-really-plan, and now this. And yeah, I'm always rooting for him to finally get a win since he loses so often, although it is kind of endearing. He just has terrible luck.

Hopefully it'll be less anticlimactic than the last HDW!Tsuna showdown, too. XD BUT I'M EXCITED AS WELL.

Psh probably. If I ever make a comic someday, all the girls will have regular sized boobs. 8'D

I hope someone will color it/make an icon

It is kind of endearing. XD; Oh we're so mean. But I do suppose it helps him build character, he tends to get all puffed up when he wins. |D

Definitely. I wonder why Amano had to end it so....obviously orz. At first I thought she just ran out of ideas but now with the new arc..yeah. XD;

YOU'LL BE A PIONEER.

Ditto. I'm sure someone will, but I can't wait.

LOL, yeah. What he really needs is just enough wins to help him maintain that precarious balance between confidence and humility, and then he can go back to failing again. XD

I think she must have been under pressure from her editors or something to end the arc already. So she blew through the end and rushed on to the new one. Hopefully she's learned from that less-than-satisfying experience. XD

Dude, Adelheid's boobs are like...kinda big.

I was so happy for Gokudera in this chapter LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW. OR MAYBE YOU DO KNOW XD

I was kinda expecting the assailant to be one of those hot villains. Ah, well, plenty of time for those to show up later.

This really made me lol for some reason. XD Indeed, they are rather substantial.

OH I DEFINITELY KNOW. He just looked so happy on that one page where he was sitting at his desk blissfully lost in thoughts of being the official right hand man at long last... it's all his dreams come true.

That would have been cool. But yeah, like you said, I'm sure we'll be seeing them all soon enough.

That girl is going to have back problems like I can't even imagine. I don't envy her. XD
