Rereading KHR!

CURRENT ARC: DAILY LIFE ARC

Actually what the hell.

Peak shounen

I'm quite enjoying this casual use of dying will. The sole purpose of doing this is to break Tsuna out of his "I will fail anyway, so why should i try?" mindset little by little. I think I've said that already and I will probably repeat it many times but I truly consider Reborn's ability to recognize what his pupils need as his greatest strength as a tutor. Tsuna gets pushed repeatedly on smallest things, but, for example, Yamamoto in future arc? Gets vastly different treatment

I don't even know what is more important here (nothing is). Bovino family casually watches over Lambo? They think him flying off like that because Reborn reflected is attack is nothing to be concerned about? They just have a box with apology gifts prepared? They also apparently change in based on season? This is some high tier joke implications level

The true 13 yo experience is thinking of 15 yos as adults. The peak authenticity is reached, no matter that you have 5 yo killers, Amano is correct about ages in every way that matters

Also it's weird, but for some reason I was under impression that Namimori is a pretty small town. I knew it was unfounded anyway, since they have a zoo and all, but wow, elite all-girl schools...

And here we can see Gokudera briefly losing his entire purpose of coming to Tsuna's house

This. This right here is the start of Reborn's infamous favoritism towards Yamamoto. I'm sure of it. It is also the birth of his shoulder riding tendencies. Truly amazing...

Haru Miura: is strongly against people teaching babies about murder and such and corrupting their pure hearts but supports babies' right to become hitmen on their own

A bit of timeline setting, but basically Gokudera started getting poisoned at 6 and it lasted about two years before he learned about his mother and ran away. Bianchi is 3 years older than him (according to Vongola 77 book) so she is +- 9 when she manages her first poison cooking. Considering Gokudera's words here and Bianchi's general inability to cook non-poisonous food when she tries, I'd say she first tried to cook something when she was 9 years old. Which is not relevant at all, but a nice thing to know

"I cannot post everything" I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH. LOOK AT HIM

I can't say I dislike later manga's artstyle but there was something special in earlier ones. I don't think late Amano could replicate the vibe here. Maybe not even late Varia Amano. It's just a different level to me. Sure, the way Amano draws action at this point is not that good for an actual battle shounen, but these designs, this coloring...

I can't with this guy. As I always knew, daily life arc is the best arc. Spread the truth
