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.
- HE IS WEARING A VEST. IT LOOKS GOOD ON HIM.
- 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.
- 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.
no subject
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

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.
