It's out on a Tuesday because Binktopia wants to shut out everyone else with their scans. ^^;;;; I'm still waiting for IEM though.

But there goes the prison-break arc some people wanted.

The backstory was given in a massive info-dump, like Amano's editor wanted it out of the way already so they can finish this arc. (Which is a good thing, I was already stepping away from KHR because of Spade's, or Mukuro's, weirdness.)

Lol, it's like that, eh? Well, if this weird little competition is encouraging the teams to do better and faster scanations, I can't really complain. I'll still check out IEM's as well but it's great to have MS's out so early.

And I kind of figured the prison break arc was a wash as soon as Tsuna made the deal with the Vindice way back when, so I've made my peace with it. Still is kind of a shame, though. I hope one day someone gets inspired to write AU fic just cuz.

And Amano's flashbacks have been rushed since the end of the Future Arc (actually, Byakuran's dying flashback made Spade's seem downright leisurely in comparison), so I'm used to that by now too, I guess. I actually wasn't bothered by that at all. I definitely agree with you about Spade, though. Not sorry at all to see him gone! Now we can move on to Vindice plotstuffs and hopefully more lovely reunion scenes before the next arc comes along and we start the dance all over again. |D

Indeed, the possibility that FINALLY we'll be told what we need to know about Reborn, Hibari's parents and family, Yamamoto's mother, where did that guy in your icon suddenly go.

I do suspect that while there's an over-arching outline, Amano is making this up as she goes. That there really is no rhyme or reason to much of this. (facepalm) One of the disadvantages of the weekly-release comic, in contrast to the monthly-release comic: not enough time to properly think things through, plan it out, and make it happen.

Yeah, I agree that she's making a lot of it up on the fly. But she does have an encouraging habit of setting things up and then not touching them for months or even years, and then suddenly bringing them back and using them as kick-off points for new plots. She did it with Shouichi and then with Spade, so I'm hoping that we'll see more of that in the future. She has several nice little mysteries waiting to be unwrapped--the Cervello, Kawahira, Byakuran's sudden mysterious case of niceness, and of course the Vindice (although she might go to work on that one as early as the next chapter)--so we'll see if she finally gets to any of them. Because on the other hand, she also has a discouraging habit of not picking up some of the plot threads more recently and just forgetting about them altogether, so I hope that won't turn out to be the case for any of the characters I just mentioned. XD

I guess this chapter was a big disappointment to some and a great thing to others. I, for one, admit fully to it being cliched and cheesy and kind of rushed but still loved it all the same. If not for the new canon het ship that is SO RARE in KHR and for the last couple of pages with all my BBys.

I actually liked the chapter a lot aside from all of the inexplicable NO, NOT OUR SPADE! YOU CAN'T LET OUR SPADE DIE! WHY GOD WHY that our heroes were doing toward the end. XD But aside from that, we had flashbacky goodness, finally got a motive for Spade's dastardly actions even if it just proved beyond the shadow of the doubt that he wildly overreacted and is still a Terrible Person, and most importantly, finally got a reunion scene between all the characters we tearfully left behind earlier in the arc. Thumbs up to all of that. :Db ( ... )

I will never forgive Spade, and sympathy...it's not really there either...I suppose what I felt in those flashback panels was "well, fate sure is cruel!", and I enjoyed those little faces he makes with Elena, it tickles my shipper heart. Other than that, he was still a dick.

HOMG MY SIMON AND VONGOLA BBs I LOVE ALL OF YOU ALL OF YOU I LOVE. Hmm ok. I love Kouyou holding up Ryohei, I love Julie holding up Enma. I love Chrome and Mukuro and Tsuna going up to them like saying "you're a part of my family too". It was all just a touching scene and I missed it so, so much.

I guess canon het ships aren't uncommon...but it's not this in-your-face all the time. On the other hand, Amano sure loves to club me over the head with Enma/Tsuna and Cozart/Giotto. SPEAKING OF WHICH the primos should reeeeaally show their faces soon. Preferably next chapter.

Lol, sorry! XD For what it's worth, this was a pretty last-minute thing. She won the tickets Saturday night, we spent Sunday shopping for clothes to wear and then rewatching the first film, and then Monday afternoon that was it and we were there.

However! I actually live only a 40-minute bus drive away from Port Authority, so the next time I am back in NYC I can let you know first if you want? (So were you one of the thousands in Lincoln Center Monday? There were SO MANY PEOPLE there, holy shit. But that really is fffff if you were there and I didn't even know orz!) <3

Elena is so beautiful♥ B-but I find her appearance... random. Lacking.
I actually laughed when Spade was looking all ~gentle and about to die~ and said those words *sigh* I knew it, I'll never, ever forgive him *_*

In the future, Gokudera will have to accompany you everywhere just to make sure you don't hand over your entire life savings to the first panhandler you run into on the street!
YES THIS. I can imagine Tsuna randomly making friends with the enemies with Dera going all "But tenth!" on the side♥ The image makes me smile :D

The first part of the chapter was just WTF to me, but then everyone suddenly appeared♥ Lambo and Rauji are the cutest things ever♥

"I have one final thing I need to tell you... The Simon and the Vongola family can now merge and be happy. Oh and invite us to the wedding" *insert party baloons here* Oh if only.

Oh damnit. "Amano used FLASHBACK! It is VERY EFFECTIVE!"
Crap. I actually think Daemon is pretty awesomely misunderstood. And stupid. Mostly the stupid part, really. But not too bad.
....I think I need to read the past few chapters to refresh my memory. I mean, maybe she'll dig up an awesome backstory for Byakuran and then I'll like him too. AND THEN WHAT?
