ITP: Vegetables and old men.

THE WINNING COMBO YOU NEVER KNEW EXISTED!


1. Yamamoto reminds me uncomfortably of Gin from Bleach on this cover page. To the point where I'm really, really creeped out. To the point where I'm wondering if we shouldn't all be shouting, "RUN, KAORU! RUNNNNN." D:


2. "Yo! You're finally here, Tsuna!" Actually, I was thinking something more along the lines of "Yo, you're finally here, Yamamoto!" It's been a few weeks. I had missed you. :(

Also, you'd think Tsuna would be less discriminating against hooligan-types these days, considering the awesome people in his life like HIS RIGHT HAND MAN and Kusakabe and so forth. Even Dino has a tattoo, Tsuna, and you fucking love Dino.


3. Aha, I see that Gokudera is making his weekly cameo (he hasn't missed a single chapter yet in this arc), so I will make my weekly observations of him.

  1. HE IS WEARING A VEST. IT LOOKS GOOD ON HIM.
  2. There appears to be some antagonism between him and Kaoru, and being the fangirl I am, I choose to willfully ignore the far more likely explanation of "In case you hadn't noticed, there is antagonism between Gokudera and EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE" in favor of my own personal explanation, which is that he's annoyed that Kaoru is monopolizing all of his boyfriend's time.
  3. He said a musical note. You all saw that. It was in his dialogue as clear as day. HE SAID A MUSICAL NOTE LIKE BYAKURAN USED TO DO. It pleases me that part of his legacy lives on still in this way.


4. Reborn finally gave into the urges I know we've all been having and actually kidnapped Enma. Good for him! I'M TOTES JEALOUS.

Also, thank you Enma, for finally giving this manga a damsel in distress who's not actually female! I only wish we had gotten to see Reborn saving him by presumably beating up a dog.


5. I really hope this entire chapter is not dedicated to baseball, or else I confess I am going to get bored pretty quickly. Even in fiction this sport bores me something fierce. XD

AH, HERE WE GO, NOW THAT'S MORE LIKE IT. Nametwin has returned! And he's feeding Chrome (HE MUST HAVE SEEN THE COVER OF VOLUME 29) and patting himself on the back for his own pervy kindheartedness! And he also said a musical note! CHRIST WHAT IS THIS, SOME KIND OF EPIDEMIC?


6. Aww, Kaoru has performance anxiety. LEAVE HIM ALONE, HE DOESN'T WANT TO PITCH IN FRONT OF ALL THESE THREE PEOPLE. His is a sweet and timid soul which must be nurtured out of its fragile shell! I AM LAUGHING SO HARD HERE IN CASE THAT ISN'T COMING ACROSS AT ALL.

Fortunately, Reborn has a solution! It is hands down the single most disgusting solution he has ever come up with. Something about swallowing his hand three times?? Is this really a thing? SURELY IT CANNOT BE A THING. REBORN, YOU SICKEN ME.

As an aside, do you guys remember that OST track Kyoko used to have whenever she randomly showed up in the anime? I'm almost positive that "LET'S OVERCOME OUR FEARS TOGETHER!" Yamamoto is emitting that exact sound.


7. Brb, mentally picturing tiny!Yama playing Little League.

|D

Okay, back to matters at hand. Yamamoto whispers something conspiratorially in Reborn's ear that causes Reborn to start sparkling as well because this is a chapter of musical notes and sparkles okay. Then we get a panel of Hibird for no reason, and then HARU OH MY GOD I'VE MISSED YOU! I swear to God she's gotten cuter somehow. She probably saw Enma there being all failishly adorable and went BITCH, NO, IT'S ON NOW. YOU DON'T JUST GO SOLICITING FOR TSUNA'S AFFECTIONS WITHOUT ASKING FIRST. DON'T YOU KNOW THERE IS A LINE.


8. Sometimes I sure do wish I could have some of whatever it is Amano and her assistants are smoking to come up with plot ideas like "EVERYONE DRESSES UP AS VEGETABLES SO THAT THE SCARY NEW CHARACTER WON'T BE NERVOUS." Do you know, I did not even exaggerate that phrase for comedic purposes at all? That is pretty much exactly what Yamamoto actually said. FOR REAL.

Not only that, but this beautiful display of selfless friendship actually moves Kaoru to tears. You guys, I have to make a confession now. Somehow, I think that this incredibly stupid chapter might just be MY FAVORITE EVER.

Because ladies and gentlemen, today, on this page... magic happened.

*stands in awe*


9. AND THEN KAORU KILLED YAMAMOTO WITH A BASEBALL, FFFFFFFF.

And Adelheid was there again. WATCHING. Because that's what she does.

sadflkjs I can't even breathe oh my god. Oh my God. OH MY GOD.


10. --OH MY GOD.

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR SOME BULLET POINTS, SON.

  • I SAID THIS ALREADY IN THE COMM BUT GANAUCHE A.K.A. THUNDERY NONO IS POSSIBLY THE SINGLE HOTTEST GUY TO EVER SHOW UP IN THIS MANGA FILLED TO BRIMMING WITH HOT GUYS. AND THAT'S INCLUDING G. THAT'S INCLUDING FUCKING G. !!!!!!!
  • WILL THERE EVER BE A MIST GUARDIAN WITH NORMAL HAIR?!
  • SUNNY NONO DOES NOT STRIKE ME AS EXTREME ENOUGH. I WANT HIM TO DO SOMETHING EXTREME.
  • CLOUDY NONO IS OLD AS FUCK BUT EVEN HE'S STILL SEXY SOMEHOW. HOW DO THESE GUYS DO IT?
  • RAINY NONO LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY PUT HIM THROUGH A WOODCHIPPER. ALSO HIS NAME IS SCHNITTEN! COULD THERE POSSIBLY BE ANY NAME COOLER THAN THAT IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD?
  • THE ANSWER IS YES, MOTHERFUCKER, BECAUSE THREE WORDS. COYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT.


Also there was something about an ally family "finding the ones who are scheming to interfere with the inheritance ceremony" so they're going to wipe them out as a favor to the Vongola, blah blah blah. Unfortunately, Ganauche was the one who said those words so like hell if I was actually focusing on what he was saying.


Ahhhh, this chapter. THIS CHAPTER. Heeheehee. This chapter.

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Reborn probably COMMUNICATED WITH THE DOG. Through... Reborn speak.

I LIKE THE MIST GUARDIAN. HE'S NAMED AFTER FOOD!

Fuuta's a tomato. And Yamamoto is CORN. AKA Corny.

I thought Gokudera's reaction was b/c he's a fellow dynamiter. Isn't he?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 01:27 am (UTC)(link)
That's right, he can talk to animals! I FORGOT ALL ABOUT THAT. Haha, that one time his face was all covered in random bugs... XD

I LIKE HIM TOO, I LIKE THEM ALL. AND THIS CHAPTER WAS PRETTY FOOD-OBSESSED.

My favorite was Lambo as broccoli. PICTURE PERFECT CASTING.

...is he? DID I SOMEHOW MISS THAT COMPLETELY??

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
LOL I WAS SO FOCUSED ON TSUNA BITCHING ABOUT UGLY PEOPLE CARING ABOUT HIS WELL-BEING THAT I TOTALLY MISSED THAT.

It sounds like a random nickname given to him because he is scary and can apparently pitch baseballs into neighboring dimensions to me, but then again, this is a manga known for its extremely literal nicknames (SMOKIN' BOMB), so hmm. If there is someone else in the series who fights using dynamite, it could get interesting.

[identity profile] kat8cha.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
BUCKING HORSE.

RIGHT HAND MAN.

XDD The idea of him LITERALLY throwing it into neighboring dimensions just amused the hell out of me. I'm totally imagining it popping out of nowhere and THWACKING alternate dimension Enma in the head.

The woman makes a host club within a bastion of manliness (well, boyness) of a manga, and the manga can do absolutely nothing about it. GIRL POWER!! ^^v

OH MY GOD THEY REALLY ARE A HOST CLUB. WE ARE LUCKY READERS.

[identity profile] rikasaurus.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
1. I thought that cover page was cute, but now that you mentioned the Gin thing....Cannot unsee. Oh god. Cannot unseeeee D:

3. I am really surprised Gokudera hasn't been sticking around to watch these, uh, tests. Though I think the main reason why he didn't stick around this week is because he secretly saw the veggie costumes and he did not want.

5. Okay Julie I kind of like you and all your clearly heterosexual glory. It's cute how he's sending her food.

8. Vegetable costumes. I think Amano secretly hangs out with Rumiko Takahashi to get inspiration or something. When Kaoru cried, I thought it was the cutest thing ever. And I loved the 'bowl of salad' comment XDD

9. lmfao I love how Reborn is like "What is he made out of?!" And I really wonder what Adelheid is up to.

10. SCHNITTEN SERIOUSLY MAKES ME THINK OF SCHNITZEL WHICH AUTOMATICALLY TAKES MY MIND TO CHOWDER. And I seriously have an old man crush on Nougat u_u

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
1. IT'S SO CREEPY, I can't even look at it for long or I start getting freaked out that some evil psychopath has somehow bodyswitched with Yama.

3. LOL. Part of me was wondering what would happen if he finished his rounds and came back to see how they were all doing and OH MY GOD THE TENTH IS BEING ATTACKED BY GIANT VEGETABLES?!

8. The salad comment (and especially the accompanying image) totally made my day. He made it sound actually relaxing somehow. XD

9. Yeah, you know you're good when even Reborn is like "WTF?!" I wonder if Adelheid just secretly watches all of her family's crazy antics from a distance like Hibari does with the Vongola. Or if she really is up to something.

10. YOU'RE NOT ALONE; I think everyone has an old man crush on Nougat. *_*

[identity profile] escherichiacola.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Tsuna even pegged Gokudera as a delinquent! Though he has been getting kinda...fabulous...but I'll reserve judgment until he spouts wings and shoots sparkles. Maybe it's from being around Lady GagaShitt P so much.
Edited 2010-05-15 02:16 (UTC)

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Apparently everyone is a delinquent in Tsuna's mind. And yeah, he has been really perky lately. MUSICAL NOTES. Never in my life did I ever think I'd see Gokudera talking with musical notes. But yeah, it could be Gaga's influence. XD

[identity profile] cleartempest.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 02:44 am (UTC)(link)
I CLICKED THE HUGE OH MY GOD AND
AND
WHY ARE THEY DRESSED AS VEGETABLES
And
then I read it and. Oh. I see.

HAHAHA I SAW THE 8059 AND I WASN'T EVEN LOOKING FOR IT
...another connection to Byakuran, what with Shitt P and the music note and salkdghsdaglk idk where I was going with this :D

HE MUST HAVE SEEN THE COVER OF VOLUME 29

lol performance issues, why do I think Kaoru/Dino would be fucking hilarious bahahaha
I'm almost positive that "LET'S OVERCOME OUR FEARS TOGETHER!" Yamamoto is emitting that exact sound.
LOL OH MY GOD
YAMAMOTO WAS SUCH A SAINT IN THIS CHAPTER UGH WHY THE HELL IS HE SO SWEET

SUNNY NONO STRIKES ME AS EXTREMELY EFFEMINATE...AND GLO XINIA-ISH ONLY PRETTIER AND HOPEFULLY LESS CREEPY
RAINLY NONO LOOKS ALMOST LIKE SOME 801869 TUBE CHILD AND LOLOLOLOLGSALKHALDSKG COYOTE NOUGAT I CAN'T...I DON'T EVEN. SALKHFSDLGKGDAS DO THEY PULL WORDS OUT OF A HAT?! OUT OF A POT THEY THEN GRIND UP AND SMOKE???
/foaming 8D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
OH DAMN IT WHY DO I ALWAYS DO THAT WITH THE LINKS? *FIXES*

Oddly enough, I read it and I was STILL like, "NO SERIOUSLY WHY ARE THEY DRESSED AS VEGETABLES." Some things are just mysterious mysteries.

HAHAHA I SAW THE 8059 AND I WASN'T EVEN LOOKING FOR IT

THAT MEANS AMANO IS DOING IT RIGHT /o/

If Gokudera starts wearing six belts and sparkling, I'm going to start getting a little concerned.

I WOULD ALSO LIKE KAORU/DINO. Actually I would like Dino, period. COME BACK, DINO, YOUR UNDERAGED BOYTOY HAS BEEN GETTING FRISKY WITH THE WORLD'S DEADLIEST BOOBS IN YOUR ABSENCE.

YAMAMOTO IS ALWAYS A SAINT. BUT YES.

Ahhh ahhh Glo Xinia CANNOT UNSEE. ARE THEY RELATED?! And I don't think they could pull a name as amazing as Coyote Nougat out of a mere hat; there had to have been some soul pacts made with the devil for them to have unearthed a name that magnificent and brought it out into the world.

[identity profile] irtiolre.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
BEST CHAPTER EVAR <3

Also there was something about an ally family "finding the ones who are scheming to interfere with the inheritance ceremony" so they're going to wipe them out as a favor to the Vongola
You think it will be the Shimon family? It seems too cliche..owo

HE WAS THE STORM GUARDIAN 8'DDD

The ninth's guardians are named after French bread thingish things? |D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
IT REALLY WAS.

I think Shimon is the ally family; I have no idea who the scheming family is, though. I do expect the Shimon family to prove to be the ULTIMATE SCHEMERS later on, though, but it's too soon for them to have gotten caught yet.

...unless I'm totally wrong and the Shimon are the schemers Ganauche is talking about, in which case it'll sure be interesting when a bunch of Vongola allies show up and try to kill them all right in front of Tsuna.

YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THAT HAIR RUNNING IN THE STORM FAMILY

MMM DELICIOUS OLD GUYS. IF YOU GOOGLE THEM WONDERFUL THINGS POP UP.

[identity profile] irtiolre.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hmmm I was thinking the Shimon were the schemers. UNLESS they aren't the schemers, but the other Vongola ally think they are scheming, and then Tsuna'd have to deal with a bunch of ally families trying to kill the schemers who aren't actually scheming. 8'DD /confusion ensues (?)

MAYBE ALL THE STORM GUARDIANS ARE RELATED

8'D KHR is one of the only manga in which we can say delicious old guys and almost mean it literally

[identity profile] tidaby.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Old Guardians are made of teh awesome sauce, but I do have one question. Exactly where the hell were they when Xanxus was cramming their beloved Ninth into a Gola Mosca like a sardine?

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
MAYBE THEY ALL RETIRED TO EXPENSIVE PRIVATE MAFIA ISLANDS? And then came out of retirement to watch the inheritance ceremony?

...yeah, I have no idea. I wondered about that too, actually.

[identity profile] draconianangel.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 09:00 am (UTC)(link)
1. WHAT NO. Yamamoto is sincere. SINCERE! Gin is... Gin. ;P

3.2 HELL YEAH AMEN. Out of nowhere, he's hatin' on Kaoru (who hasn't been featured in KHR before this chapter) LOL I WONDER WHY.

6. MAYBE YAMAMOTO AND KYOKO ARE TWINS SEPARATED AT BIRTH. Seriously, they have so much in common: popular in school, oblivious, gullible, can Jesus/top everyone...

7. SEE EVEN REBORN HAS A DORKY SMILE ON HIS FACE AT YAMAMOTO'S IDEA. WTF, YAMAMOTO HAS EVERYONE WRAPPED AROUND HIS FINGERS.

10. OK FINE, I'll join the askjgfjsdkghjkhajk thing that's happening around the fandom. Damn, those are some mighty fine old (and not so old) men.

-I think Ninth's Sun goes to the same bar that Lussuria does.
-Ganauche is effin' HOT fzzzzztt fzzt.
-Visconti somehow reminds me of a One Piece character but I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO.
-Ninth's Rain makes me think that Rain Guardians are destined to get slash scars. I BET UGETSU IS HIDING SOME UNDER HIS CLOTHES.
-CAYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Yamamoto is sincere. THAT GUY WHO'S CLEARLY IMPERSONATING HIM ON THE COVER... idk. XD

Kaoru best watch himself. THE STORM GUARDIAN IS EVER VIGILIANT except for that one time last chapter but shhh.

I have sometimes wondered if Kyoko isn't actually a female clone made from Tsuna's DNA and Yamamoto's personality. Like you said, they really are similar.

Now that you mention it, Visconti does look kinda familiar somehow; not sure if it's from One Piece or something else, but... hmmm.

Scars are definitely a Rain Guardian prerequisite. Either that or you have to chop off your hand.

AND YES. COYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT. He has appeared on all of two pages so far and already I want to give him his own tag JUST BECAUSE HE IS HIM.

[identity profile] reana-camellia.livejournal.com 2010-05-16 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
*butts in*
Visconti somehow reminds me of a One Piece character but I CAN'T REMEMBER WHO.
Silver Rayleigh? http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/onepiece/images/f/f2/Silvers_Rayleigh.jpg

[identity profile] draconianangel.livejournal.com 2010-05-19 07:29 am (UTC)(link)
See, I thought of Rayleigh too, but it's not him. Maybe it's one of the Vice-Admirals or one of the Gorousei? After checking the One Piece wiki, it might be Vice Admiral Strawberry because of the solemn face. :P

[identity profile] reana-camellia.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 10:07 am (UTC)(link)
-Yamamoto looks like Gin? ahahah, i never realize that.

-Even Dino has a tattoo, Tsuna, and you fucking love Dino.
^ yeah, but Dino is a pretty boy, so the tattoo doesn't count~ xD

- considering Amano's infamous habit, i won't be surprised if suddenly the little league coach shows up as the final boss of this arc, really. xD

- If not because of the last page spread, i would have condemned this chapter as KHR's most boring chapter. I mean, i don't really find the last few chapters funny at all. Light-hearted, yes. I miss the fast-paced action... D:

- WILL THERE EVER BE A MIST GUARDIAN WITH NORMAL HAIR?!
ahahah lol. Genkishi's hair is normal. my hair looks like that
i dunno about his eyebrow though... xD

- Sunny Nono (what a fancy nickname...) reminds me of the typical androgynous skinny male models.

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-15 07:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Seriously though, doesn't he? It's scary.

BUT WHEN WILL TSUNA LEARN THAT APPEARANCES DON'T MATTER is my point. XD

EVIL LITTLE LEAGUE COACH. OMG I ACTUALLY WANT THIS TO HAPPEN. XD

I was finding it a little dull myself, I admit. At least until they all turned into vegetables. Then it was all worthwhile. And the hot old guys were just the icing on the cake. But I was bored by the brief action scene we got a couple chapters ago, too; I think what I'm personally craving the most is plot. So the little development at the end of this chapter is kind of exciting.

Genkishi's not really a mist guardian, though, since he's not Vongola. BUT YEAH, THE EYEBROWS. They're all weirdos, those mist types.

Someone else said Sunny looked like Glo Xinia and I have to agree. He kinda creeps me out a little. XD

[identity profile] ojuzu.livejournal.com 2010-05-16 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
I am saddened, SADDENED that there are no female Nono guardians. Ninth, what the hell., did Daniella not let you have female friends growing up or something? >( I mean, even Tsuna has one girl in his harem of men. Even if she is technically also Mukuro.

Aside from that, it's nice to meet the Ninth-gen guardians. Although I am totally headcanon-ing Sunny Nono as FTM just so my brain will shut the hell up. You'd think I'd be used to the gender imbalance already. Ganauche, you have like the most ridiculous name ever that I can't peg exactly why it's ridiculous. Visconti, ILU and your sunglasses. The rest of you, no comment.

Shimon are probably the allied family, but I'm pretty sure they're scheming behind the scenes just like everyone else.

Awww, lookit. Julie is helping! (And the Kokuyo gang is BACK, woohoo!) \o/

Also, because you can never have enough LGBT characters who have never been announced as such, I have a sneaking suspicion that Shitt P is, one way or another, actually Byakuran. And she is somehow EVEN MORE FABULOUS now.

YAMAMOTO, WHY SO SMILEY. |D

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 03:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Part of me agrees with you, and part of me is wondering how well Amano could have pulled that off. ...Well, actually, no; I'm sure sexy old ladies aren't beyond her skill level. A Tsunade-type would have been really cool. Eh. At least this arc still has Shitt P and Adelheid.

ALL THEIR NAMES ARE RIDICULOUS; actually, Ganauche seems like one of the less ridiculous names to me. Next to Schnitten and Croqaunt Bouche (???), he seems pretty normal. Visconti reminds me of the guy from the Dos Equis commercials.

290 seemed like it was going to shed some light on who the allied family and the enemy family were, but then it kind of fell apart during the latter. Hmm.

Shitt P secretly being Byakuran would go a long way toward explaining how she manages to be so amazing. XD ALSO WHY SHE APPARENTLY ONLY ANSWERS TO AN ADORABLE NICKNAME.

AND "SMILEY" IS JUST YAMAMOTO'S NATURAL STATE. |D

[identity profile] merryrainbow.livejournal.com 2010-05-16 10:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what ya'll complaining about!
This chapter was vapid, yes, but HELLA adorable!

And yay for Goku-chan's weekly cameo!

And b'aww Julie, my nametwin.... and attitudetwin... *a creepy!mom!stalker type of person, yessire*
Looking after Chrome (I saw Chrome in the last anime episode, OMG I cried like crazy, poor baby! ;o;)~!

GOSH HARU IS SO CUTE.
FUCK YOU TSUNA SRSLY. I'LL MARRY HARU! She's so fucking talented and cute and caring and brave and creative and strong! WTH IS YOUR PROBLEM?! *slaps Tsuna... then regrets it*
I realllllllyyyyy don't approve of TsuKyoko, SHE'S TSUNA'S CLONE, CAN"T YOU SEE!??!?! She even looks like him! XDD */rant*

Okay, holy-shitt.p!

SILVER FOXES, ohmymightygod.

I'm like a reversed pedophile, I swear.
COYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT.
Firstly, hella funny name, I still lol.

BUT THEN!

I. AM. IRON MAAAAAAN! or a really old Edward Elric, lololololllll.

But why aren't there any lady guardians?? ;n;
*sigh* remember this is a shonen manga, Julie. This is a shonen manga... *tries not to be a feminist right now*


....

Why did she call him Julie. I would understand Julio, but Julie? Or is it his last name? Kaito means "Ocean and sake dipper" (Which I still WTF over).....

DISSCUSS!

[identity profile] makeste.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 03:18 pm (UTC)(link)
WELL I DID SAY THAT THE VEGETABLES AND OLD MEN MADE IT MORE THAN WORTHWHILE.

Gokudera's weekly cameos make me so happy. This should always be a tradition.

I kinda share some personality traits with Julie too; mostly the laziness, though. XD

OH MY GOD I KNOW. Half the time I can totally understand Tsuna's flailing and spazzing, but then the other half he's having that reaction toward people that anyone in their right mind would just be all over. IF YOU DON'T WANT HARU AND YOUR RIGHT HAND MAN, TSUNA, I WILL TAKE THEM OFF YOUR HANDS. I will do this thing for you, Tsuna.

I confess that I find Tsuna/Kyoko adorable, though. But that's just because I think Kyoko's a sweetheart, and I adore how awkward and shy and flustered Tsuna gets around her.

EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE GETTING THAT ELRIC VIBE FROM COYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT. Well, the guy does have an automail arm, so I guess there's no getting around it. XD

AND I AGREE IT IS DISAPPOINTING THAT THERE ARE NO LADY NONOS, but at least this arc still has Adelheid and Shitt P, by far the coolest female characters Amano's come up with in a long, long time.

As for why she called Nametwin "Julie", I think that's a mystery that can only be solved after we solve the mystery of why all the Ninth gen are named Schnitten and Croqaunt Bouche and Ganauche and whatever else. And also the mystery of WHY SHITT P IS SHITT P. XD

[identity profile] merryrainbow.livejournal.com 2010-05-21 04:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Is reversed pedophilia wrong?
I want them Nonos as my sugar-daddys! XDDD *shot*

OMG me too... Lazy is like my middle name, while I put the "pro" in "procastination"...

N'aww Gokuderaaaaaa ILU to the extreme you cute little angry latino! <33333

GOSH those moments really make me wanna give him a flushy! *bully bully*, we'll share right? The Haru and the Gokudera? XD

Okay fine I confess also that I find it super-cute, BUT GODDAMIT, MANG! SHE'S A CLONE! A TSUNA CLONE SANS WEEWEE AND AWKWARD AND SUPER-SHONEN-JESUS POWERS, OKAY.

I get the Elric vibe, yessire! But then I go back to: "I. AM. IRON-MAAAAAN!"

Why is it called Automail? What does a steampunk-roboclaw-limb has to do with mail?!

WHY NO LADY NONOS?!?! */sob sob* OMG yes! Shitt P. and Adelheid are sooooooooooo awesome! 'Specially in the latest chapter! Gosh Shitt P. is such a cutie! <333
...And Adelheid gives Hibari major boners. YOU CANNOT DENY.

OOOOOOoooOOOOOoooOOOOOooooHHHHhhhhhh~! MYSTERY! It appears Julie is a surname too.
Imagine our names were Julie Julie.... That's so creepy. Like, Julie-squared or something... OAO;;

SHITT P. IS JUST PLAIN AWESOME, ANG ALSO THE LOVE CHILD OF PRINCE AND LADY-GAGA!




And stuff.

Wow. I'm even later than usual. Exams? What exams? And studying? What are these odd things you're talking about?

Kyoko is still talking with a musical note, I think Byakuran infected her brain and body somehow before he died and in ten years when Kyoko gives birth to her and Tuna's first child, that child will be Byakuran reborn. BELIEVE IT. Gokudera talking with a musical note, on the other hand, is adorable.

Coyote Nougat is cracking me up. WHAT THE FUCK, Amano? Coyote Nougat? Coyote Nougat?! Whatever that woman is smoking, I think I want some.

I don't really find Thundery the ninth all that hot...

Kyoko is the original musical note talker... person XD, come to think. Maybe all these years Byakuran has been the one ripping her off, and he was just so distracting with the rest of his fabulousness that we all thought he was pioneering this new technique. But in any case, seeing someone like Gokudera adopt it was easily the highlight of my day.

COYOTE FUCKING NOUGAT. If you say his name ten times and spin around really fast I think a genie appears and grants you three wishes.

OH MY GOD SERIOUSLY JUST LOOK AT THAT LEFT HAND PANEL OF HIM. Lol, but I think pretty much everyone in this manga is drop dead attractive, so it's not like I'm the most objective judge. XD

I have four exams on Monday-Tuesday. I am SCREWED. D:

Which simple means that Byakuran infected her before they even knew he existed. He's going to do it, you know he is. :P

IT IS KIND OF AMAZING. I am almost inclined to believe you. :P

IDK, I just don't think he's all that. He probably thinks he it, though. XD
