KHR 300 - chapter 300, what. I kind of feel like by rights the series should be over soon, but in terms of how the story's going, it's nowhere near done. There's far too much that ought be resolved. I'm happy about how fast this storyline is moving, too - although I will say that it doesn't feel like enough is happening in each chapter. The speed's fine, but there could be a few more layers added to to story. The unexpected/intriguing parts are a little thin on the ground. Mostly, though, I can nod along.
So.
Merged animal and Vongola rings.
FACT - as of now, inside the ring, Giotto looks like this:

Or at least that is the image that will not get out of my brain, including the nipplecaps, thank you very much.
I was so relieved Gokudera didn't get a collar, and then afraid that Tsuna would get one, although also strangely intrigued by the idea. Amano so would. We should be thankful for editors, on occasion.
Big awkward but entirely badass rings are good too, though. Hibari should've got knuckledusters ... but now he and Ryohei can have arguments about whose stuff is girlier. Gokudera can butt in with "YOU'RE FOOLS, FOOLS I SAY, THESE ARE WHOLLY APPROPRIATE FOR MEN. If you guys don't want yours I'll totally take 'em JUST SAYING."
While I'm at it, Hanna is Not a Boy's Name. I feel compelled to give my feelings on recent Hanna because they are vitally important: OH TONI SO CUUUUUUTE. The wolfcub design makes up for everything ever, including the original werewolf design which, frankly, made me learn how to cry on the inside. And now ... to Ples's house! EXCITEMENT. (AND TICKING.)
Bleach 413-4. I don't approve of the fact I'm reading Bleach, but I LOVE KEIGO about as much as I dislike a lot everything else in Bleach, meaning I LOVE KEIGO SO VERY MUCH. Surprisingly, I'm getting fond of Mizuiro now (he always seemed a little too smooth before, but now he's way too smooth in a great way), and it's always good to see Tatsuki (though, not a word about Orihime?). And Gin, I appreciate that you want Aizen to die. Oh boy, do I ever. It won't work, though. :(
