Brb, laughing too hard from all of that.

... Okay, better. Somewhat.

1. After countless staring at that page, I'm under the impression that Lampo and Knuckle were probably playing footsie moments before that photo was taken. Enough said.

OH FUCK, THIS BABY IS ON FIRE This phrase just about killed me dead. I mean, I could just picture a midwife holding a flaming baby and Mama Italian Lady being immediately like, "Disowned". BECAUSE NORMAL CHILDREN ARE NOT ON FIRE, WTF IS THIS.

... And I said it before but. Amano is such a tease.

3. Enma's got some serious issues that he needs Tsuna to help him with to work through there, methinks. Just what exactly caused the Shimon Family to be so under-appreciated? It's ... definitely got something to do with that Vongola sin. Either that or I'm reaching now.

4. I think Tsuna's just been around too many guys lately and not enough girls. Either that or when he confessed to Kyoko about the mafia that crush slowly started to die down and he made room for the new love of his life in the form of his exact counterpart. ... yeah, I so did not laugh writing that. Well, okay, I did. But Enma has decided to make Tsuna question his sexuality, nevertheless.

7. Yup, things just went a little to the shoujo side, what with Enma writing letters to his new one true love friend. And haha, there are indeed too many jokes to make concerning that one page. But is it just me or did Amano go out of her way to draw Tsuna like that when Enma places the note on the desk? /facepalms. Too many BL undertones that can most definitely not be ignored.

9. ... I was wondering that, too. Maybe I-pin's just some kind of wickedly fast learner or something?

10. And so starts the angst and the drama and the sjdlkfjkls. Next chapter, where are you?! I'm curious, though, what do you think Tsuna's going to choose to do? ... If Enma doesn't go all "I trusted you and you let me down and - *sics violent bunnicula on Tsuna's defenseless neck*" before the ceremony, anyway.

1. Now I totally can't unsee the footsie thing. THAT'S IT, THAT HAPPENED.

NORMAL CHILDREN ARE NOT ON FIRE

Something about the way this was phrased just cracked me up. XD

3. We need an Enma flashback, stat. I'm so fucking curious now.

4. It is interesting that we haven't seen as much of the "GAH KYOKO OMG <3" side of him since the Future Arc. Even in that one chapter where she popped up out of the blue, he was mostly focused on Enma instead. Maybe he has started to think of her as more of a friend since getting to know her better in the Future Arc. Either that, or he's just like, "Well, if I'm going to be forced to become a boss I might as well have a harem," and so he's after them BOTH. TSUNA, YOU DOG, YOU.

7. Lol, I didn't even notice that about the last panel. XD Oh, that page. But in hindsight, I'm glad I didn't make any jokes, because the more I look at it, the more it occurs to me that in the third and fourth panels, both of them manage to look like they're about eight years old. UM.

9. I guess she has been in Japan for about a year or so now. And it's not like the phrase "Such a nice morning!" is a particularly difficult one, so I guess her learning it isn't out of the question.

10. I'm kinda torn now, because before I thought that Tsuna was going to decline the position and that's when Enma and co. would swoop in and make their move, but now it's looking more and more like they'll only do that if Tsuna actually accepts. And also the part of me that's always crossing my fingers for the angstiest developments possible is starting to think that Tsuna's accepting the Vongola mantle might actually turn out to be a darker storyline than his refusing it, now that there are BOTTLES OF DELICIOUS SIN to consider. XD So I honestly don't know what to think atm.

1. Footsie was totally priest acceptable back in the day.

4. Aha! We're on to you, Tsuna, you sly dog. No wonder he was so adamant about "WE'RE FRIENDS ALREADY, ENMA-KUN, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?" He's planning to put the moves on 'em after all that shy little boy acting.

7. ... I went back and looked at the panels you mentioned and just ... yeah. Amano and these boys are creating a shota manga all their own.

9. I keep forgetting how long I-pin really has been in Japan. And kids do pick up on things faster than adults, so you're right. She probably knows a couple phrases, if not more, by now. She's had plenty of time to learn. Though, yeah, not expecting her to be speak fluently just yet.

10. There's definitely something dark surrounding that freaking thing. Now I just want to know what the hell Primo did to start this weird ass tradition of making little boys (and girls, to include the Eighth) drink sins of other PEOPLE no less. I'm kind of hoping Tsuna accepts, though, if only to see how things progress from there. I mean, how would it be possible to reshape a mafia family after inheriting their greatest sin of all apparently? He'd be another Ninth in the making instead of his own person, more or less. ... And yeah, now I'm babbling. But that creepy Sin stuff keeps making me think 'possession'. We need more Mukuro in the story, he probably knows a hell of a lot more than any of the rest of the tenth gen. guardians.

1. And apparently priest acceptable more recently too, unfortunately. AWKWARD AND COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT SOCIAL COMMENTARY ON THE CATHOLIC CHURCH GET. Oh yeah. XD

10. Yeah, the whole sin thing is not on. HOW THE HELL DOES A TRADITION LIKE THAT COME ABOUT. Anyway, my current theory is that at the very last minute, Tsuna will change his mind about the ceremony and decline, and a relieved Enma will tell Adelheid and the others to stand down, they don't need to intervene after all, and for just a moment it'll look like everything will actually be okay. AND THEN the Cervello will intervene and the crazy mafia inheritance plan b rules will go into effect and Enma will inherit the Vongola Sky Ring instead and he'll end up drinking the sins and he'll turn into a bad guy, OH NO.

Mukuro probably does know a thing or two about the whole thing; too bad he's currently locked away in fishtank and also just doesn't seem to give a shit. OH, MUKURO.

1. ... W-WHAT.

10. I hope something like that does happen. Because we have been severely lacking Cervello appearances for this arc. It's only a matter of time before they pop back up like whack-a-moles.

xD True enough. Even if Mukuro knew everything he would most likely be of the opinion "why would I tell you? I'm having a splendid time swimming in my LITTLE FISHTANK. Next time you need my help, look me up in ... oh, say five hundred years."

Completely irrelevant question, but. Would you like a small batch of icons? I dunno. I kind of wanted to make some icons, but I have no ideas for what to icon, so I figured if you'd like some I could get back into the practice of making 'em?

1. NEVER MIND, YOU SAW NOTHING.

10. Lol, the hilarious thing about that is that given the Vongola's penchant for time travel and Mukuro's ability to reincarnate himself, THEY COULD ACTUALLY TAKE HIM UP ON THAT OFFER. You should think about that the next time you decide to be sarcastic, Mukuro. XD

And OF COURSE I am always up for new icons and I'm also totes thrilled that you would offer <3, but I'm just a little hesitant because a) I only have a couple of slots open, and I always feel guilty if someone makes them and then I don't use them, and b) I have no idea which panels I'd suggest atm. But I love your icons, so I'll try to come up with some ideas for that second part. |D

1. LET'S GO WITH THAT SO A RANDOM AND QUESTIONABLE CATHOLIC DISCUSSION DOESN'T GET STARTED HERE.

10. They could, true that. Sorry, Mukuro, maybe you'll be free of 'em when you go to Hell again for a quick rest. xD ... And now you've made me want to read a good time travel fic for this series sjdljf.

Eh, no reason to feel guilty if you don't use any. If you have any suggestions in the future, I'd be more than willing to give them a try. Heck, it can be from another series entirely if you can't think of any for KHR. It'll be interesting to see what other fandoms we have in common. ♥
