I'm expecting good comedy and action correct?

The first 7 volumes or so are pretty much comedy only. Volume 8 gets into the heavy mafia action, but still retains the funniness.
…but the anime is pretty QUALITY and messes around with a bunch of things.
The Thunder Battle was awesome. I love Adult Lambo's VA.
Wow, I thought I was the only one to like Lambo (all version). He's hilarious and all his VA's are awesome. Probably my favorite with Coronello and Ryuhei behind.
Oh lordy new chapter spoilers
! No wonder Gokudera's such a little bitch. Lesser men would have completely broken down and BAAAAWWWWed.
Damn anime subbing taking a while and I want to get into the Future Arc :< What chapter is after the Thunder Ring fight?

The anime's yet to introduce the Mist guardian (well, if you ignore the spoiler-tastic opening theme, good job there Artland). And chapter 99 is the very, very end of the Thunder fight.
Reborn! really is turning more and more into a yaoi manga. Just look at the colorspread in chapter 150. Why was Tsuna drawn with the face of Kyoko!?
In fact, everyone looks impossibly gay, and Hibari's smile is similar to Michael Jackson. Scary.
there is no such thing as impossibly gay in reborn. the yaoi fangirls were already at work since volume three came out in japan, if not earlier.
in fact, among all the weekly shonen jump series, reborn probably has the biggest, most verocious yaoi fanbase in japan. and now the yaoi fanbase is growing rapidly in the US for this series.

Isn't that true for most shonen series anyway? It's just a matter of whether it happens sooner or later.

I can definitely believe that. The fact I have unfortunately seen a doujin depicting a hot sweaty group embrace amongst the arcobaleno, is proof enough of this.
I was kind of hoping that with the mention of the Varia last chapter we'd see what Future Ryohei's doing in Italy (unless he's already been switched before we see him, like with Chrome). Glo looks pretty lame, but he has a pet owl, so that sort of redeems him.
The way the characters are drawn just screams yaoi.
If D/grayman was more popular, I think we'd see the same large yaoi fanbase.
Even Hunter has it.
THANK GOD Oda draws his men like men. Scares Yaoi artists. (Save for the sanji and zoro doujins I see for sale on ebay when I'm looking for grand battle 1 and 2 copies)
and oh yea, anyone know where I can find volumes 1-6 of this series(basically whatever kefi doesn't have on their site.)
Well if I remember correctly someone did mention that the mangaka for Reborn was a woman so I guess that sorta explains why all her men are drawn like they're from yaoi doujins.
I dunno, Lancia/Levi/Luss/that black dude from the future arc are drawn pretty manly (actually being manly is a different matter entirely for some of them)
But everyone else could have rippling chest muscles and Fist-of-the-North-Star-esque faces and be fucking girls left and right and Gokudera's presence alone would make it gayer than gay is gay.
I think most of the previous Vongola bosses look pretty manly:
!
! I like how the Fourth looks all threatening while he's brandishing forks as a weapon.
Have I mentioned how happy I am that Giannini and Kusakabe have recurring roles now? Because I am. Now we just need Longchamp to start busting some skulls.
Yeah, except for Daniela, the 8th Boss, who's a girl.
I've been meaning to read this for a while now (used to read it in Japan in SJ). Hibari looks like he should be my favorite character (Ifrom what I've read), but does he ever fix his attitude?

Dude, there is way more OP yaoi out there than just the Zoro/Sanji stuff.
I remember looking for Foxy pictures and running across LuffyxAce stuff.
Ack.

not on EBay at least.
any help with volumes 1-5?
Is there anymore translated chaps after 151? Kinda leaves me hanging there.

I'm glad Giannini got some surgery to fix his…problem
I'm glad Hibari has learned to show normal human affection to other people (namely Tetsu Kusakabe)
I'm glad Longchamp hasn't been confirmed as dead yet
I'm glad Mochida-senpai's gone missing
I forget, did we get any mention of Dr. Shamal? Or is it assumed that he's been killed (I really hope not)?
Well he hasn't been mentioned, so there's a chance he might reappear (last page of the chapter, natch).
If anyone is trying to find raw chapter of KHR here a link http://photo.163.com/photos/rocking69/

Wow, Xanxus and the 2nd look alike. SIMILAR POWERS!
And the 8th is a girl? And a young one at that? Damn, I envy all you japanese-speaking fellows who follow the latest Reborn while I sit in a corner and wait…. wait.... wait....
I didn't know that the 8th boss is a girl
Hey, new member here. I don't Japanese, so can anyone tell me if there's been any mention of Ryohei post chapter 153? Or who the okama he's visiting is? (Lussuria?) Or if Hana's husband has been revealed yet?
We've heard that the Varia have entered Japan and are attacking the Millefiore, so it's assumed that Ryohei went to Italy to contact them and that the gay man was Lussuria. We haven't actually seen either of them yet, though; the story switches to Chrome right after. She's already been replaced by her past self, so maybe Ryohei has as well?
There've been links to sites with translations to chapters 154+ a little earlier in the thread.
It got good from where I am reading at. Im at Chapter 154 looking for Chap 155 @_@ Hibari kicks ass :O I think im gonna re read that chaps for some reason to get a better understanding.
I need to stop coming in this thread, but I can't.
I'm so anxious to get to the badass shit that I'm not enjoying the daily life arc as much as I should.(currently in volume 6)
I'm skimming through the raws now. Perhaps Ryohei'll turn up when eveything looks most bleak, all that Sun stuff.
We've heard that the Varia have entered Japan and are attacking the Millefiore, so it's assumed that Ryohei went to Italy to contact them and that the gay man was Lussuria.
Actually, Byakuran says that he won't be able to send to Japan the squad that was recently attacked by the Varia, so he sends that Gimbley-wannabe's squad instead. So the Varia are still hidden in Italy…
VARIA COME BACK ugh
Terribly sorry to double post, but seeing as the topic hasn't been bumped in 3 days…
ANIME'S GETTING A NEW OP AND ED, source pic under spoilers so no one calls me a liar
!
Apparently starting next week (not next episode)? OP is by CHERRYBLOSSOM (a newer group, I think), called DIVE TO WORLD. ED…
...
...
...is the Mukuro+Hibari duet off of their character single, called Sakura addiction.
OH FUCK.
at least they have nice singing voices ._.
I recently ran into someone who said the manga jumped the shark after the rings got introduced
THOUGHTS?!
I gotta say, the boxes aren't the greatest thing in the world. All these stupid powers pop out of them, hedgehog? An owl? Foxes? Weird.
I wasn't sure about the ring/box thing at first, but besides the foxes, I've liked most of the abilities so far.
@Cap'n:

Whoever said that must have not like the series that much in the first place.
The new arc is really good. Its interesting to see
! How people look in the future.
The only thing that makes no sense is (as someone pointed out already) the boxes. Whatever they are had no point in being in the manga. I hope the writer explains them more in detail, because as of now they make no sense.
Then again whoever you talked to said after it jumped the shark after rings were introduced, and that basically includes the whole Ring arc, which means that either the person expected the comic to be mostly comedy and fun or, like I said, never really liked the series at all.

I wish they didnt get rid of the current OP, the song is pretty catchy….I hope the new song is good. All I can say is the song better not be some poppy shit.
The upcoming ED looks.............well...........
In other news, I got back to catching up (I'm just finshing volume 5), and as much as I love the Daily Arc (it IS pretty hilarious), it just reads so damn slowly. It's kind of driving me crazy.
…...then skip it.
Do you watch the anime? They have most of the daily arc there.
Watching the anime would go even slower.
And I want to read the whole thing. I think that skipping big chunks of a story because of reasons "it's boring" is really stupid.
Do you watch the anime? They have most of the daily arc there.
Not really. They skipped a lot of things that were kind of important like Irie Shoichi, Dojo Yaburi, Sakura viewing, Naito Longchamp, Bianchi's Wedding, etc. Plus, reading 8 volumes is easier (to me anyways) than watching 19+ anime episodes (that contain filler, QUALITY animation, and lots of changes.)
I agree that it is stupid, but I was just stating an option. But you are almost done, just 2 more volumes left.

I still dont know why they took out so much shit. Then they show horrible fillers later on when there is no more story to go on.
It's all mixed around too, so that adds some consistency problems. Like, between the Kokuyo and Vongola Rings arcs, they added a bunch of stuff from Daily Life. Since some characters (mainly Tsuna) had undergone some subtle personality changes, that doesn't really feel right to me. I really only watch the fight scenes, and don't bother with anything else.
I decided to skip the daily life arc when reading scanslations, because I wanted to get to the action now and I can read the comedy in the English volumes. I find it's more relaxing to read the comedy from the books, rather than reading them off the computer. It gives the jokes a bit more of an impact, if that makes any sense.
So far, I like the boxes, though they are a weird way to go. I prefer gimicks to straight fighting styles, just because it allows for crazier and more interesting battles (It's why the Mist battle was my favourite).
Ehhh… The english volumes kind of translate things weird and they're not very consistant. They're okay overall, but still. And for me, reading the books sometime takes away the impact because if you're on the right page, you can see what's going on the left that might be the joke or something.

This statement is 100% true.
I've made it to the end of the Mukuro arc.
I gotta say, it's taken a while for this series to pick up steam. I personally didn't find most of the Daily Arc that amsuing, I was waiting for the other shoe to drop and for Tsuna to actually DO something rather than just rely on getting shot with Dying Will over and over again.
However, now that Tsuna finally is tapping into his strength, my interest has risen. But 60-some chapters of one-chapter stories is just too long.

Gokudera would probably explode and die with happiness if Tsuna actually called him by his first name. (And Hibari doesn't say his trademark line…!)
BUT, uh, that's how they're published.
