RANDOM COMMENT IS RANDOM (and I would very much like to introduce myself properly one day, when I am not too busy squeeing over new chapters).
There is just so much to love already (does it really say that one guy's name is "Large" on the splash?!) I don't even know where to begin! Shitt P. Really? And this isn't at all questionable? (And what are those hoop things around her?)
I think--maybe?--that the dead!bird!thing might have been the same one that delivered the letter to Reborn, which makes me wonder if Adelheid killed it considering she had just finished glaring at Tsuna. She killed it with her glare of death. And I dunno, I think Enma is cute in a "small defenseless creature that needs a hug" sort of way, which is probably going to bite me in the ass if he turns out to be some big serial killer. Which is probably very close to the truth.
I wonder what the glowing rings could mean? I'm guessing that Tsuna's Sky Ring and Enma's whatever-Ring glowing when they come in contact with each other is supposed to be important, somehow (Reborn finds it interesting, it must be notable!), but why? Unless the full!Sky Ring glows when it comes into contact with any other ring and we just haven't had a chance to see it yet, considerng how quickly we went through the post-Byakuran's-death section of TYL.
And Nana says that the Shimon Middle School students moved to Namimori because of the earthquake and because Namimori is "less prone" or something? If the earthquake was caused by Tsuna-tachi returning from the future, wouldn't Namimori have been the epicentre of the quake? Still, nice to see something shiny, bright and new! (We need color pages more often, Amano!)
Totally agree. The new characters are classic Amano and all kinds of amazing (SHITT. P. WHAT IS THIS).
I like the theory that the dead bird might be the same one who delivered the Ninth's message, although that bird had some sort of weird-looking box necklace thing around its neck, so maybe not. Although that could have been stolen or something. Or maybe that's what those things were that seemed to be falling off it (that panel was a little unclear, idk). AND PEOPLE KEEP SAYING ENMA IS CUTE, SOB. He is kind of adorable in that same pathetic-ish way as Tsuna, but HIS EYES omg. THEY CREEP ME THE FUCK OUT.
The ring scene was confusing, but I suspect we'll find out more about that shortly. I couldn't actually tell if the rings were glowing or not, though; it could have just been Tsuna's hyper intuition (although that wouldn't explain why Enma freaked and ran off with his pants half-on).
It strikes me as pretty odd that any part of Japan would be earthquake-immune, personally. But this is KHR, so really, that's the least of my worries. XD And yeah, it's great to have a new storyline at last. I'm definitely having fun so far.
I think one of the things that I'm looking forward to the most right now is seeing the personality and purpose of these new characters. ...as long as I don't think too much about their names. Except that.
Occasionally, there will be panels were there's an overuse of speedlines or graphic elements or the like that make it incredibly confusing to read. I actually didn't get that the falling!blob was a bird until I had reread the chapter two or three times.
ENMAAAAAA. ...another thing to admit: I don't think I've spent more then five seconds looking at his eyes. It is likely I would be creeped out, too, if I did. For my own sanity, I will refrain (and enjoy your reactions instead).
Well, we know there's rings involved, and so (like always) power-ups earned in previous arcs prove beneficial (if potentially useless) in successive arcs. ...ran away with his pants half-on?! I think I missed that, too. And I'm suddenly getting DL!A flashbacks involving Dying Will Bullets. I wonder who has the more impressive boxer collection?
[On a semi-related note re:Tsuna's age, I always thought Reborn started tutoring him when he was about 12, since it's implied by the new!class chapter that they had been in their first year of middle school. Then, obviously, he grew older, and was 14 at the beginning of TYL, turning 15 somewhere in the middle (the anime, I think, places Tsuna's birthday, only loosely mentioned, just after the Trial and Succession in the form of a fairly creepy dream, and if you go by that, then Tsuna definitely turns 15 somewhere in there). Happy birthday, Tsuna: your present is nearly getting killed, meeting your ancestors, being mentally tortured and then realizing that Timoteo is dead, probably killed. And no cake for you!]
You can tell which panels Amano and her assistants spend more time on, and which ones they've just completed in a rush. The bird thing has got to be one of the latter. Or at least, I sure hope so.
I don't think I've managed more than five seconds myself, now that you mention it. I keep having to look away before he steals my souuuuul.
And yep, the thugs totally pantsed him before they ran off. Poor guy. And yeah, I like to think it was some kind of shout-out to the old days of crazy Dying Will Tsuna. No one's flashed their boxer shorts in this manga for a while now. XD
[I think middle school in Japan generally covers ages 13, 14, and 15, though. That and the character book places him at 13 at the start of the series. But the timeline is kind of murky in places, and even the character book arguably contradicts itself (the book's timeline and the character profile ages don't really match up). Still, for me, it's just easier to just go along with the profile ages until we get some kind of other confirmation.]

Yeah, same. Can't wait to see more of them.
