Wait, what was this manga called again?

I think it was something like "KHR", but it's just been SO LONG, you know?

1. So while we were left KHR-less for two and a half weeks, waiting on the edge of our seats, Tsuna was asleep, eh? I see how it is. And ET TU, NUTS? Is he doing the whole Uri "boxes we don't need no stinkin' boxes" thing now? Aww. And look at him in that top panel, flat on his back with his lil' paws curled up in the air. I BET HE'S DREAMING ABOUT CHASING THINGS. And his master, meanwhile, is dreaming about how to escape. They complement each other pretty well.

2. Man, I wonder if Maman even locks the house up at night or what. XD So apparently the Shimon family is taking steps to ingratiate themselves with the Vongola even further by adhering to the timeless tradition of freeloading at Tsuna's place. I don't know how they conned on so quickly (maybe Maman just has a big neon sign on the front door that says OPEN... what am I saying, "maybe"?), but they sure seem to be making themselves comfortable. And Aoba is even macking on Tsuna's mom. THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOOD FRIENDS, TSUNA.

3. YOU SEE, THEY'RE DOING IT FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT ANYTHING TO INTERFERE WITH THE INHERITANCE CEREMONY (GOD FORBID!!!). THIS IS NOT IN ANY WAY SUSPICIOUS, AM I RIGHT?

Also, are we really positive that Tsuna's mother is not also a space alien? Gokudera? Have you looked into this??

4. "By the way, Enma-kun, how's your eye?" ~~"Oh, you know, creepy as always."~~ Did anyone else notice how strange a transition Tsuna just made from "OH MY GOD THEY'RE ACTUALLY GOING TO STAY OVER HERE YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!?!?!?!!1111" to his cute little awkward, "hey bb you okay?" when he addresses Enma? Because I noticed.

Yeah, that's right, THE REST OF YOU CAN JUST CLEAR OUT ALREADY, but not you, Enma, you can stay. MAMAN, YOUR SON HAS YET ANOTHER BOYFRIEND. What is he even going to do with all of them, seriously.

And Lambo has taken a shine to Large, to the surprise of no one! The circle is now complete.

5. So Tsuna and Enma had yet another hetero moment and then Ryohei came running up. This is turning into the best weekend ever.

Apparently it is now time to GET OUR RIVALRY ON, because not only are Ryohei and Aoba fixin' to have an ultimate showdown of WHO CAN PROTECT SAWADA THE BEST!!, but Gokudera, apparently pinged by this in his soul, and also perhaps sensing that NEW KID IS HITTING ON HIS BOSS AGAIN (DON'T YOU EVER GIVE IT A REST, NEW KID??), pops out of nowhere to say good morning and then frolicks off to do his own patrolling rounds. With all these people protecting him, Tsuna can rest assured knowing that he probably only has like a 90% chance of someone attacking him anyway! That's about as safe as you've ever been in your life, Tsuna.

6. So after about five minutes, Aoba and Ryohei get bored and decide that fighting is a much more logical way to spend their time. That actually took longer than I expected. But fortunately for Tsuna, even Kyoko is in a stalking mood today! ONII-CHAN DID THE WORD "FIGHT" JUST COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH, I THINK IT DID, YOU'D BEST EXPLAIN YOURSELF SON. And of course, Ryohei is immediately topped by her. As we all are.

In the end, Maman instantly KOs them both with the mere mention of the word "studying", which is... well, I just won't say anything.

Looks like Reborn's getting ideas, though. AW HERE IT GOES.

7. STUDYTHON! Man, you guys, you're just competing at all of Gokudera's favorite things today, aren't you? Or, failing to compete might actually be the better description. When even Tsuna is surprised that you don't know how to solve the problem, you know there is something seriously wrong with your brains, lads. XDD

8. So Reborn suggests they all leave (perhaps realizing the innate lack of entertainment in watching a pair of people suck at studying), and immediately Aoba and Ryohei come to the conclusion that they should start breaking things, because in the end isn't that really what God put us all on this good green earth to do?

Only they suck at that too (YOU GUYS, REALLY), and are also beginning to cause a worrying amount of property damage. Tsuna, however, is more concerned by the fact that he hasn't tried to make adorable small talk to Enma in about five minutes, so he quickly remedies that. Smooth, Decimo. Smooth.

9. Ryohei and Aoba continue to punch things until they finally succeed in their quest! And in the process, they LEARN TO WORK TOGETHER. And also destroy Tsuna's room. I hope you dudes are going to pay for that.

Also, I would just like to note that in spite of the fact that all of Tsuna's windows blew out (LOUDLY), Gokudera did not come running in full battle mode, which leads me to wonder if any of Tsuna's bodyguards brought their game today, because I'm thinking not. GOKUDERA I AM DISAPPOINT.

10. But what's this?? MAFIA PEOPLE DOING MAFIA THINGS? Could it be that we are finally getting introduced to the Ninth gen guardians? :O I've been saying all along (you know I have) that what this manga really needed was more SEXY OLD MEN. AND AS ALWAYS, AMANO DELIVERS.

Nothing like topping off a chapter of hilarious Daily Life with some "don't even think for a second we forgot about the plot because WE DIDN'T!" Oh man, I can't wait for next week.

And in the likely event that I don't get around to making another post to mention it tomorrow, Happy Birthday,

phppsmss! And Happy Birthday to

escherichiacola too! ♥ ETA: AND ALSO

teruame. ♥ ♥

O.o Well...just to be fair, it is my 24th birthday, though I wouldn't say that it is...happy. Having an existential meltdown isn't quite what I would call happy. XDD Oh, well...

Still, thank you for that consideration. :D I hope that you will have a happier time on this day than I. <33

*huuuug* I really hope you feel better. You know, 24 is still really young; it doesn't matter what you have or haven't accomplished yet, because there's still so much yet to come, you know? Even if it seems like things aren't going anywhere yet. I have no doubt you've got amazing things in store for you. ♥ ~~And hell, I'm 26 and I still haven't accomplished jack shit in my own life, really. XD It just takes time. But we've both still got plenty of that.~~

Awwww, thanks. :D <3333 *HUGS*

~~You know what? You're right about that. We both have plenty of time. <333~~

<3333

*HUGS FOR YOUUUU* |D

We don't need no stinkin' BOXES.

The studython is kind of amusing, seeing as I'm in the middle of finals.
NINTH GEN YES PLS.

BOXES ARE FOR PUSSIES MAN.

Heh, yeah, it is that time of year, isn't it? Appropriate timing. XD

AND YES PLZ TO BE SEEING MORE OF THE AWESOME NINTH GEN GUARDIANS. ESPECIALLY THE ONE WITH THE AUTOMAIL ARM. BUT ALSO THE ONE WHO CAN'T DECIDE WHAT COLOR HE WANTS HIS HAIR TO BE. And also the three we haven't seen yet. I'm so excited all of a sudden, lol.

Solving problems by punching them in the face! And Gokudera hasn't been nearly as clingy as he used to be (still slightly stalkerish creepy).

And thanks for the birthday wish.

If at first you don't succeed, punch, punch again! And yeah, he's still as stalkerish as ever, but the clinginess has definitely lessened significantly. PROGRESS. |D

Heh, I hope you have a good one (though it's technically not for a couple of days, BUT HEY)! ♥ Also, I. I think I may be in love with your icon. *_*

So apparently the Shimon family is taking steps to ingratiate themselves with the Vongola even further by adhering to the timeless tradition of freeloading at Tsuna's place.

I started wondering where she gets the money for that food, but the Ninth probably gives her a stipend specifically for this purpose.

MAMAN, YOUR SON HAS YET ANOTHER BOYFRIEND.

I imagine this is what she thinks they mean when they talk about 'the family.'

Love how Ryohei and Aoba have a moment of "Yaaaay! -- oh, wait, it's you." That's not something you really expect from secondary characters so much, and they do it so well. :D

I'm glad Bianchi and Fuuta showed up, even for just one panel. I almost thought Amano'd forgotten them. (When was the last time we saw Fuuta, again?)

And then FUCK YEAH IT'S THE NINTH GEN. |D And from the dialogue, I can retain a tiny bit of hope that the ceremony is actually in Italy and they're not just changing flights on the way to Japan.

Ooh, you're 26? I always thought you were around my age . . .

It's as good an explanation as any. Because I've always wondered about that too; those kids must be eating her out of house and home.

LOL, and the thing is, it's really not that far off.

I liked that too. This series hasn't really had a pair of good old-fashioned SHOUNEN RIVALS for a while now (especially since Gokudera's competitive streak seems to have mellowed out somewhat), so the two of them are filling an empty space inside me I didn't even know I had.

Me too. I've been catching up on the anime, actually, so I've been seeing a lot of TYL!Fuuta, and I was just wondering whatever happened to the little kid version, when poof, there he is! It's good to know he still exists. I do feel for Amano sometimes, having to keep track of all these characters.

THEY SHOWED UP SO UNEXPECTEDLY. :D This is awesome; I wasn't expecting to see them until like the day before the ceremony at the earliest. Not sure it makes a difference when it comes to the location of the ceremony, though, since I'm pretty sure "Giappone" is Italian for "Japan." So they're in Namimori just like everyone else, unfortunately.

Sob, yeah, I'm ooooold. XD

Ryohei and Aoba are both such dorks, I love them.

At first I thought that old sexy man was the Ninth, but oh surprise it was not ♥ R-really Amano can make a mummy look sexy :'D

I know, I look forward to more of their dumb shounen rivalry. |D

HAHA SO DID I, FOR A SECOND. And then I realized that the "You haven't shut up about that, Ninth" dialogue bubble was coming from him, so that wouldn't make sense. But it made me even happier, since the Ninth has SEXY OLD MAN GUARDIANS, WOOT WOOT. I wonder how many chapters I should reasonably wait before I start declaring this arc as my favorite. XD

Hot Guardians Indeed. I give it two or three more chapters :'D

That sounds reasonable. If I can even hold out that long (I can already feel my resolve weakening). XD

THIS WAS THE BEST CHAPTER EVER. No seriously.

I love how Tsuna's room blew up because ~~of the sheer manliness~~ they were trying to break a plate of all things XDDD

I HAD A FEELING YOU WOULD LIKE THIS ONE. 8D

In their defense, the plates were made from extra-hard ceramic. Which is apparently the exact opposite of normal ceramic. XDD But yeah, I think the moral of this story is to just never, ever leave the two of them alone together if you don't want things to be destroyed. ~~By their manliness, yes.~~

I've been wondering about Mama Sawada too :D She should start charging, she could make a fortune.

And I'm totally excited about the Ninth's guardians too \o/ I almost thought we were never going to see them XD

It's true; she has more people eating at her place than Yamamoto's dad probably does at his. And they keep falling in love with her and everything. She really should try to find a way to make a profit off of this (it is the MAFIA WAY, after all).

I was starting to wonder if the Ninth even had guardians, or if they'd all retired (what with the rings having already been passed down to the next gen) or something. I almost feel priveledged that they're still around and we're actually getting to see them. WHAT AN HONOR. |D

She could open up a drive-thru for bicycles because the current generation of the mafia isn't old enough to drive cars yet XD

I'm wondering if they still have some sort of rings... like, these lower grad rings from the future arc perhaps? Or they just go shoot stuff with good ol' guns LOL

Or she could just run the place as an elite mafia club or something. I'm sure Gokudera would happily volunteer to work as a bouncer.

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how strong they are and how they fight. Mostly I am just curious to see how much that one guy can kick ass with his ROBOT ARM. I hope it can fire lasers.

ROFL Gokudera as a bouncer? Somehow these two seem mutually exclusive XD His TYLversion mmmmh... perhaps *hehe*

LOL Is that really the guy's arm? I thought that was the Ninth's staff thingy. Alright, and you do not want to know what I thought it was before that *facepalm*

Well, he does like to rough people up and personally inspect each and every one of them meticulously to determine if they're WORTHY OF THE TENTH, so. XD

...now that you mention it, it's positioned in a way that makes it really hard to tell if it's part of the foreground or background. I still think it's an arm because of the way it's shaped, but you're right, it could be something the Ninth is holding too. ~~also, l-lol at that last bit. XD~~

LOL about the sexy old men. ^^

THEY'RE SO GOOD-LOOKING! I WONDER IF THEY DRINK DOS EQUIS.

Also, I would just like to note that in spite of the fact that all of Tsuna's windows blew out (LOUDLY), Gokudera did not come running in full battle mode, which leads me to wonder if any of Tsuna's bodyguards brought their game today, because I'm thinking not. GOKUDERA I AM DISAPPOINT.

Holy crap I didn't even think about that. orz ~~Such a terrible Gokudera fan~~

I swear that guardian who was talking is going to be the storm guardian. Because all storm guardians have hair like that. 8'D

Lol, it only occurred to me because I was hoping that the commotion would cause Gokudera to come running back. Any opportunity for more Gokudera makes me automatically take notice. XD

I have the same suspicion, but in my case it was because he seems like the Ninth's right hand, and since every Vongola generation follows the exact same pattern, it only makes sense that he'd be the storm guardian then. But part of me actually hopes that the guy on the left is Stormy Nono, just because he's the hottest imo. >_>

DX I wish he came running back too. If he was patrolling, then HOW COULD HE NOT HAVE HEARD IT?! orz

Lol. XD The guy on the left looks a lot younger than the others. ~~He kinda reminds me of Xanxus..a little 8'D~~

I BET HE WAS SECRETLY SHIRKING HIS DUTY TO STALK SHITT P. AGAIN OR MAKE OUT WITH YAMAMOTO OR SOMETHING. IT'S THE ONLY LOGICAL EXPLANATION.

He does have a Xanxusy look to him, now that you mention it. And yeah, he looks closer to Shamal's age than the Ninth's. He's trying to fool everybody by rocking that awesome beard, but WE ARE NOT SO EASILY PLAYED.

Ohh my brother actually had a pretty logical explanation: it was only a couple panels after that scene before they randomly switched to the ninth guardians. 8'D I'm guessing he'll come running in the next chapter! ~~If he doesn't then he's definitely stalking Shitt P or making out with Yamamoto~~

Lol how old is Shamal anyway? 30-40ish? (But pfff the Ninth looks kinda really old) THE BEARD. <3

I LOVE AOBA AND RYOHEI OMG OMG ASDLKGHASDGLKHDSAG LOVELOVELOVE KJDFSAGASDGHKD
okay now that that is out of my system

TSUNA AND ENMA NEED TO ELOPE ALREADY
LOLOL KYOKO REALLY DOES TOP EVERYONE XDDD I MEAN PEOPLE FREAK OUT OR TURN FLUSTERED WHENEVER SHE'S THERE. WHAT A BISHIE.
IS IT JUST ME OF DO ALL OF THE SHIMON PEOPLE TALK FUNNY LIKE 'THE ONES THAT TALK FUNNY, ARE WE SHIMON. THESE WORDS WILL BE SPOKEN IN AN INHERENTLY AMUSING MANNER BY US. THE SHIMON FAMILY.' IDK JUST A FEELING

ONLY RYOHEI BOUGHT HIS GAME TODAY IT WOULD SEEM. GOKUDERA HAS BEEN TOO AWESOME LATELY SO HE'S JUST A STALKER IN THIS CHAPTER. BOO.

THE NINTH GEN GUARDIANS!!!! *O* OMGOMGDAKDHSGK HOT OLD MEN LMAO OHGODAMANO. I ESPECIALLY WANNA KNOW MORE ABOUT THE BI-COLORED HAIR MAN, FUFU~

I LOVE AOBA AND RYOHEI OMG OMG ASDLKGHASDGLKHDSAG LOVELOVELOVE KJDFSAGASDGHKD
okay now that that is out of my system

I UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY. *nods*

RE: TSUNA AND ENMA: TRUE DAT. AND OH MY GOD I NEVER NOTICED THAT ABOUT THE SHIMON FAMILY BUT YOU'RE RIGHT. It's like they constantly have to remind everyone who they are and what family they're from, LEST THEY FORGET. Enma is the exception, and that's only because Tsuna does the reminding for him every five seconds. "HEY ENMA-KUN, HOW'S YOUR EYE, ENMA-KUN, DO YOU WANT TO STAY AND HANG OUT WITH NUTS, ENMA-KUN, ARE YOU ENJOYING YOURSELF ENMA-KUN ARE YOUUUU?"

GOKUDERA HAS BEEN TOO AWESOME LATELY SO HE'S JUST A STALKER IN THIS CHAPTER.

I LIKE THIS EXPLANATION. But if the inevitable result of his becoming awesome was that Amano would shunt him to the side in favor of characters who haven't had a ton of positive character development, I almost hope that sometime terrible happens to him soon just so he can have more screentime again. XD

AND I WANT TO KNOW ABOUT THE ONE WITH THE AWESOME HAIR TOO! He's my favorite, I think. I'm so glad the Vongola have such strict rules about all their guardians being attractive.

See, Dera is being a good Right-hand Man! He's trusting Aoba and Ryohei to take care of Tsuna, which is why he didn't come running after the explosion! XD

OH GOD I DIDN'T SEE NUTS SLEEPING IN THAT PAGE 1. A-also, wow, Tsuna, you and Nuts are completely falling for the new guy, huh? Nuts is even PAWING at Enma. S-so cute, I don't even know.

Don't mess with ceramic! (it's SO HARD it needed a gym-busting maximum canon)

NINTH GEN GUARDIANS! Aaah next chapter please!

BUT HE OF ALL PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED! D:

He's adorable, ain't he? Doing what lions do best, too. And yeah, Nuts is totally Enma's bitch. HE'S GOING TO BE SO CRUSHED WHEN ENMA EVENTUALLY BETRAYS THEM. Um.

Mafia ceramic is made of adamantium or some shit. But considering how destructive your average KHR mafioso is, I suppose they had no choice but to either upgrade, or one day just run out of china FOREVER.

NEXT CHAPTER NEXT CHAPTER I WANT IT SO BAAAAD.

Most of these comments have covered my spasms, so I'm just going to go with:

OLD MEN FUCK YEAH

I HOPE SHAMAL IS PINGED BY ALL THESE HOT OLD GUYS SOMEHOW AND SHOWS UP TO SHOW THEM WHAT'S WHAT.

HE HAS TO RETURN TO THE FLOCK EVENTUALLY.

SERIOUSLY. My God, it's been YEARS.

I love your chapter summaries. ♥ SO. MUCH. ♥ ♥ ♥

I am wildly attracted to (in an appropriate way, of course) the two-tone hair guy with the Ninth. ♥__♥ Hubba-hubba!!!

Thank you! |D

And I'm right there with you. The guy is hot. And

irtiolre pointed out that he doesn't look half as old as the others, either, so that's interesting. Maybe he was the Lambo of their group.

Maybe he was the Lambo of their group.

AND THEN HE TURNS OUT TO BE THE THUNDER GUARDIAN! MAKESTE, YOU ARE SERIOUSLY PSYCHIC!!!! WOW!!!!!! *FLAILS*

(And dang, the dude is still hotness personified. *_____*)

I PREDICTED SOMETHING RIGHT?! *FAINTS*

(Lol, yeah, he really is. |D)
