I finally caved in and got an Enma icon.

It was only a matter of time, I suppose.

1. I can't remember the last time Amano has so blatantly shipped a pair of characters like this. Probably not since Squalo first made his feelings for Yamamoto loud and clear.

"Tsuna and Enma are both clumsy... BUT PERHAPS THEY CAN UNDERSTAND ONE ANOTHER...?" I swear, that line doesn't even need any editing to become the tagline for a doujinshi. You can just leave it as is. And I'd read that doujin. And I'm pretty sure it would be adorable.

2. It's been a while since we had some good old fashioned freaks of nature battling Tsuna. Now that we're about a month into the Inheritance Arc, I do find myself feeling nostalgic for the Future Arc every so often, with its insanity and monster-people and hard to follow action panels and people shouting "GRAAR! AAARGH!"

And then I read this page and this one and that nostalgia faded awfully fast. XD

3. I tell you what, though, Amano sure does love to draw Tsuna bashing people's faces in lately. And she's getting pretty good at it. I mean, it's well executed, you know? Spit flying, eyes popping, and Tsuna looking oh-so-I-just-don't-fucking-care as he pulls it off. For what it is, it does its job well. It holds its own in the world of face-bashing panels, is what I'm trying to say.

4. ...okay, yeah, thank God that's over and done with. XD So, having reminded us all that yes, it is still a shounen manga despite the BL cover, Amano returns to the current plot of "Boy Tsuna, this sure is going to be one crazy week leading up to the inheritance ceremony." Enma applauds Tsuna's kung fu skills, and Tsuna, still a closeted action hero even now, tries to deny it by making up ridiculous stories about I BUMPED INTO THIS TREE AND IT MADE ME DEFY GRAVITY SOMEHOW OKAY.

And meanwhile, Reborn helpfully drops more and more hints for me to use to support my crazy theories. THANK YOU, REBORN. You're a good friend.

5. OH MY GOD, TENTH WAS ATTACKED?!?!?!

As always, Gokudera is hilarious and adorable, but I would like to take a moment to call attention away from his adorable hilarity and towards the cover of the book he is holding, "Secrets of the Underground Creature." That's right, you guys, SOMEONE WROTE A BOOK ABOUT SHITT P. AND GOKUDERA FOUND IT AND PURCHASED IT. Why do both of those facts make me so, so happy? I don't even know.

Anyway, so Gokudera's all "LET'S CALL EVERYBODY IMMEDIATELY!!!!" which also makes me happy because nowadays his crazy overreacting response is to call all the guardians together rather than running off to ~~make things worse~~ save the day himself. And not just the guardians, but the Shimon family too! HE'S SO RIGHT HANDY LATELY, I AM SO PROUD OF HIM. <3 <3 <3 Reborn is too, just look at that smile.

And then he goes and accosts Enma, hahahaha.

6. Meanwhile, Chrome is shopping (buying chocolate, I might add. Isn't that one of Mukuro's favorites? HMM SUSPICIOUS) and for some reason Nametwin is spying on her?? And then Enma calls and he makes this pedotastic face when he answers the phone and then he actually ADMITS TO STALKING CHROME, o-omg. And makes a perverted comment about Adelheid's legs (HER LEGS NOT HER BOOBS, HELL YES HE IS A MAN OF QUALITY TASTE). And responsibly passes up a call to action from his boss.

This feeling I have... IS THIS WHAT THEY CALL LOVE? *_* Julie, please do me a favor and show up in the manga more so I can lol at you.

7. So in the end, they only managed to gather the Vongola Fab Four and the Shimon gang minus Nametwin and Shitt P. Who is busy meditating. Gokudera makes a note of it in his own stalker log.

And now I have to stop and fangirl Gokudera again. I'M SORRY. But holy shit he is taking command of the meeting and assessing the threat and telling everyone that they need to work together to stop it, and he's done the research and has formed a plan of teams based on everyone's expertise, and just. I am so goddamn happy I feel like I could burst, okay. ;_________; MY BABY IS ALL GROWN UP AND DOING HIS JOB RESPONSIBLY AND WELL!!!!111

Hell, if he keeps this up, he might actually become so capable that I can no longer make fun of him. ...D:

8. ...anyway so the teams consist of Kaoru and Yamamoto, Hibari and Adelheid, Aoba and Ryohei, and so on and so on, all of which is just SO SHOCKING that I actually started typing this sentence even before I clicked on this page. What can I say, I'm psychic or something. Anyway, Yamamoto congratulates Dera on having thought this out pretty thoroughly, which just goes to show that either Yamamoto is far less observant than I thought, or more capable of being deviously condescending than I would have ever expected.

Aoba objects because he doesn't like being talked down to, but Adelheid shuts him up, and immediately everyone is all, "OHHHHH SHIT SO SHE'S THE ONE IN CHARGE, EH?" but really, they should have known all along.

9. Julie is one smug, lazy bastard. The more I see of him, the more I adore him. Though if I knew him in real life I would probably want to punch his face in. BUT EVEN SO, HE'S A CUTE LITTLE ASSHOLE.

More importantly, though... what the hell is Shitt P. doing there, exactly? She is just... leaning... but standing absolutely rigid...???

10. "By the way, has everyone been taking good care of 'that'?" Uh oh, I sense a possible theory-buster...

Oh, no, wait, it's just some weird... pendant... thing. That he's inherited as the boss of the Shimon family. And that suddenly makes him have a dying will flame in his eyes or something. I knew there was something about those eyes, dammit.

I do hope Enma doesn't wind up becoming one of the traditional-style Reborn villains, though. Much better if he actually befriends Tsuna and it's actually a surprise when the betrayal happens. YEAH, I SAID "WHEN." DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LIKE THE LITTLE SHOTA, BUT THERE IS NO WAY THIS CAN POSSIBLY END WELL.

Next week is Golden Week, right? So SJ's probably taking a break. Oh well. XD

+1 TO TSUNA/ENMA DOUJIN DEAR LOOOOORRRRRDDDDD YES

+1 to your feelings on Julie. XD

OhchristItotallyforgotaboutgoldenweekFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Edited 2010-04-22 16:33 (UTC)

Oh boy, I think Julie is definitely going to be my favorite out of the new characters XD If you're gonna creep, creep with pride \o/

I'm so happy Gokudera actually learned something from the future arc!!! And even Reborn was smiling at him!! You know that when Reborn approves, you're doing something right :D

Love the new tags, btw--aoba mcaoba, boobs mcawesome, gaga mcwtf, hipster mcnametwin, shota mccreepyeyes--I didn't notice them until now!

CLOSETED ACTION HERO. That is a wonderful, wonderful phrase. :D

Ohmygod I think I love Gokudera even more now. ♥ (As a side note, I can't stop staring at the middle panel of his face. Large, full-face shot of Gokudera being determined and competent, mmmmm.)

Yamamoto is far less observant than I previously thought, or more capable of being deviously condescending than I would have ever expected.

I think he's a Carrot Ironfoundersson type -- he is actually both. BTW, thanks for all those Yamamoto fic recs. I'm enjoying them very much! (And while I do not actively ship 8059, I have no qualms about reading all the goodfic I can find about them.)

Much better if he actually befriends Tsuna and it's actually a surprise when the betrayal happens.

Oooh, yes. I can't wait for it, really -- if he reverses the traditional Jesus-ing pattern and instead gets more and more villainous the more time he spends hanging out with Tsuna, I may faint with happiness.

Aw shit, that's right. Forgot Golden Week was next week! D:

I don't know about Julie... we already have ONE Shamal.

I like that Adelheid is different from Hibari in that she actually participates.

Oh no, no shounen next week??

If Reborn himself is any indication, Amano ships VongolaxShimon a little too hard.

I'm starting to doubt Adelhei'd cloudness. Because, well, she doesn't seem to be all FREE FLOATY.

So maybe, Shitt P is a cloud? Or Julie. OOH. JULIE. SHOULD BE JULIE.

Enma's eyes are actually glass. :| He's a robot.

OMG I fangirled Gokudera SO GODDAMNED HARD in this chapter, like, even more than usual! \o/ He's all AUTHORITY I HAZ IT and people are actually doing what he says and just ♥

what the hell is Shitt P. doing there, exactly?
I KNOW! I KNOW! I am now convinced that Shitt P. is actually a Cylon. And that's her snooze mode. She can also save five different alarm settings, by the way.

And I totally misread 'Vongola Fab Four' as 'Vongola Fantastic Four' which is what I'll be calling them from now on. And Hibari is the Purple Surfer. XD

with its insanity and monster-people and hard to follow action panels and people shouting "GRAAR! AAARGH!"

I had to try very hard not to laugh and disturb my brother's studying pffffff.

And OMG GOKUDERA. OMG. <3<3<3 HE'S CHANGED SO MUCH FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WHOLE THING. ER SERIES. I'm so happy that I have to forcfully and painfully stop myself from fangirling too much to my brother. 8'DDD But I am so glad to see that he's maturing, this almost makes up for Amano not giving us more of TYL!Gokudera.

Nametriplet?

Shitt P. is my favorite. I don't even know. Her name cracks me up.

GOKUDERA WAS SO COOL IN THIS CHAPTER haha, I totally loled at the book he threw down XDD

he might actually become so capable that I can no longer make fun of him.
I don't think you have to worry about that. In fact, since he's been so cool recently, he's going mess up in the near future.

but really, they should have known all along.
INORITE. I thought they already established this.

Julie is a total sleaze XD I bet he's secretly badass.

Shitt P's rigid leaning made me stare.

XD I thought 'that' would have been a secret this chapter but omg more jewelry? And the dying will flame is upside down???

ohoho, I can totally see it all go your way...

Golden Week already? ^^;; This is already by second Golden Week in this fandom. Wow.

And quite frankly I don't know what to feel anymore. It's probably external events playing a part (being an annoyed creative is annoying), but that "Oooooh cool cooool coool!" thing happening to other people is not happening to me. To me it's just "Cool. Interesting." but nothing else. What am I missing that others are getting? I did love Gokudera in this chapter, though.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I've been in denial and resisting since the beginning of this arc but looks like this chapter broke my resolve.

I'm starting to favour Enma over Tsuna.SHIT.

The fault is on you Tsuna. If only you don't look soooooooo godamn pathetic in your non hyper dying will mode! Urgh. Enma has this emo-pathetic look which makes him look kewl(and his eyes! OMG). Tsuna, on the other hand, has sported this pathetically retarded look since the start of this series.

Tsuna, its about damn time you start redeeming yourself., preferably by snapping outta your own denial and accept your Vongola birth right! I mean, you have made your frist kill by burning Byakuran to death and looking down right unperturbed/nonchalant about it, and that I think is a perfect quality that a mafia boss possesses.

Naw, if next week's Golden Week, then we'll have a chapter next week but won't be having any chapters two weeks after that. Probably. Grr.

what the hell is Shitt P. doing there, exactly? She is just... leaning... but standing absolutely rigid...???

She's doing... Brook's 45 Degrees!!!! LOL.

Yamamoto is far less observant than I previously thought, or more capable of being deviously condescending than I would have ever expected.

Haha, Yamamoto is just A BIT THICK.

Gosh, I can't believe it but Enma has pulled on my mother instincts. I'll be sad if he ends up being evil. :(

I was waiting for your weekly review to simply flail about how Gokudera became awesome again, no, even more awesome than ever, because this arc is re-converting me to this kid's fan and I'm two steps away from getting Gokudera icon purely for this arc.

I loved Gokudera's series of actions more than anything!! It overshadowed Julie's stalking, Shitt P's meditation, Adelheide being Hibari-plus-Gokudera figure, and just everything. Yes, they were fun and adorable and so him but it was more than these. I think this arc is actually showing what kind of role Gokudera will be assuming in the future of Tsuna's family--the true second-in-command who prevents the danger from growing, plans actions to take, and actually organize the family.

Gosh, I have so much things to say about Gokudera in this arc...

1- Is it bad that I think Enma looks really hot on that page? I'm sure the doujin would be adorable too lol

2+3- It's been a while since I went "HOSHIT!" at this series. ~~Actually, Adelheid and Hibari's fight was pretty exciting too.~~

5- Part of me is more excited about finding out what Shitt P's true power is more than what the plot is going to lead to. I mean, a published book!? Wow.
I was so proud of him too 8D Most of the time I want to slap Gokudera for getting character development and it seemingly not actually sticking, but he's learned! Yaaay!

6- Baww Chrome and her little matching purse |D<3 3 whole panels this week! And Julie was great lolol. It also scares and intrigues me as to why he would be talking about her thighs of all places, huhuhu. Apparently Shimon is a hella lot straighter than the Vongola, that's for sure.

7- I love that Gokudera is doing his job by doing Tsuna's job when he doesn't want to. 8DDD And I'm sure they'll be something to make fun of him with D8

10- Apparently everyone has a pendent thingy too (or maybe it's just the side of a ring). And why is the flame upside down? o.o I'm so confused lol.

Thanks for that reminder! I would have expected the chapter all week fff

1) Well, actually it is the editor who put the tag lines in every chapters, not Amano. So ya, no matter how much we want Amano-sensei being one of us BL fangirls, looks like we have to settle for the editor instead. xDD

maybe KHR editor is secretly BFF with Kishimoto... *cough*SasukexNaruto hints in the manga*cough*

Probably not since Squalo first made his feelings for Yamamoto loud and clear.
^ ooh, I don't remember. When was that? xD

P.S. i admit Julie does pique my interest as well. I agree wholeheartedly with punching people like him in real life though... xD

hola tienen un doujinshi enmaxtsuna kyaaaaaaa yo quiero ver eso porfa decime donde bajar el doujin ne
