An Amazing Manga Worth Reading!!

If you've never read Reborn! (which I'm guessing you haven't if you're reading this), a small synopsis of the main storyline is that a boy named Tsunayoshi Sawada (nicknamed "No-Good Tsuna" by his classmates) only has dreams of being with the girl he has a major crush on, Kyoko. But due to his blaring unpopularity, he never tells her how he feels and ends up admiring her from afar. One day a strange baby named Reborn wanders into his life claiming to be one of the Mafia's top hitmen with an assignment to train Tsuna to become the next Mafia Boss Leader! Though he is extremely unmotivated, he goes along with Reborn's antics and soon makes friends who join his new Mafia family. I HIGHLY recommend picking this story up and giving it a good try! After reading the first volume, this series easily became one of my top three favorite manga storylines of all time! Granted, it takes a bit to get to the first major plot point (roughly 8 volumes), but please don't let that stop you from trying it! Another thing I love about this series is that the fillers are the most hilarious and entertaining things you'll ever read! So while the first several volumes have an air of "filler" around them, they are very important for introducing the massive amount of well-developed characters into the story. Five stars from me because there isn't a single character in the story (good or evil) that I don't love and Akira Amano's stunning artwork and storytelling is absolutely captivating! Everyone has beautiful and amazing backgrounds that help to push the plot forward. Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is slowly turning into a very popular manga and it completely deserves it!

Unique, funny, and great for any manga fan.

Reborn! is a very unique series. SJ advanced homes many unique titles but this one has this one has the right amount of action and comedy mixed with a nice story to be one of the best. This review is coming from a girl who's manga collection consists of shojo manga so it takes a good action manga to get me read it and this is good. All the characters are lovable and well defined. The main character is easy to identify with too. Not many stereotypes which is always a plus. The art is a nice shonen style that has cute babies(dont worry. he has a gun) and beautiful girls so it doesnt fall short at all. The only reason I dont give it a 5/5 is because it doesnt really pick up until after volume 3. But it's worth it.
