Congrats on the job! \(＾∇＾)/

At this rate, it's only a matter of time before we get a panel of fucking Hibari making a Basil face
Oh goodness, please yes AMANO MAKE THIS HAPPEN.

The whole bit with Iemitsu makes me happy because YAY mafia people doing mafia things, but I'm also all nooooooo, Iemitsu whyyyyyyy. What would your lovely and adoring wife say?????

It seems that in fact, all the rings, not just the Vongola rings, love Tsuna the best.
Mafia ring uses power-up.
Sawada Tsunayoshi uses Main Character Status. It's super effective. (As you point out as well later on. *typing comment as she reads your post*)

And word on Enma being more appreciable now. I admit I tend to like characters with angst to a greater degree than "normal" characters, but now I really just want to bake Enma a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing and give him a tall glass of cold milk and just hug him. It's the sibling story - I am such a sucker for sibling bonds and how they drive characters.

I am rather confused about Chrome's organs, though. Her learning how to take care of that herself was a big deal back when it happened - all 'shipping arguments aside - that it really feels destructive to Chrome as a character to me. I'm holding out hope that she'll get to be awesome and get a "but I know something you do not!" (to keep with the Princess Bride references) moment where she reveals she was just playing along with Daemon, kicks his ass, and goes back to taking care of her own organ creation, but I'm very skeptical. I love this series to little pieces, but sometimes I wish it was one where the ladies got to be badass. Bianchi doesn't count because of how she was written in the future arc.

Thank you! It's not the best job I've ever had, but it's not the worst, either, and with the holidays coming up I really needed one, so.

HIBARI BASIL FACE. SERIOUSLY. ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAAAAAS.

And much as it would be interesting if what Julie/D. told Enma actually turned out to be true, I can't bring myself to believe for a second that Iemitsu actually did kill Enma's folks, given that this series is what it is. Iemitsu is a total badass and the Vongola do have a pretty bloodied history post Primo-era, but still. It's Amano. Who gave us a Future Arc ending where EVERY SINGLE PERSON WAS REVIVED SOMEHOW BY MAGIC. There's just no way. I'm not even sure I'd believe it if we actually saw a flashback; it just seems that unreal to me.

Sawada Tsunayoshi uses Main Character Status. It's super effective.

IT REALLY IS.

And man, I hear you on wanting to bake Enma a cake and cookies and cuddle him and so forth. I'm also a huge sucker for sibling bonds (maybe because I'm pretty tight with my own siblings), and man, I just feel so bad for him, goddamn.

And yeah, I don't really like Chrome just being used as a plot device for Spade to gain access to an apparently much more important character. :/ Come on, Amano, just ONCE let's not have the girls be total wimps. Even Adelheid is starting to suffer from KHR Woman Syndrome lately, although in my desperation I'm still clinging to the hope that Spade's just using some sort of Mist voodoo weirdness to aid him in intimidating She Who Should Not Be So Easily Intimidated Goddammit. He seems to have manipulated the rest of them pretty well enough, so. XD

At least Shitt P got hauled off to jail more or less untainted. :(

In the Future Arc, Chrome was able to make her own organ illusions thanks to the power of the Mist Ring. But didn't her ring get smashed with the rest during the Inheritance Ceremony? And she hasn't had the chance to get her shiny, new Vongola Gear either so she might not have the power to take care of herself right now.

P.S. If Chrome's Vongola Gear is not a kick-ass new eye-patch, I will be extremely disappointed.
