Gave it a 6/10 because I used to love it. All went downhill in the Future Arc. No character progression or storyline progression, but at least the mangaka admitted it herself :P

Reborn was bad. It had some cool moments, but those were overshadowed by the fact that the narrative and characters were poorly developed. It was really unfocused. The ending is a fine example of how much planning went into how things played out.

Overall, I'd give it a 4/10.

Umm...

Well, I don't want to bash it too bed. The ending is cute, but I feel holes. I wanna see Tsuna and everyone grow up (what would a serious life of the 10th family look like?), but I'm sure they will even if I don't see it.

I was disappointed by the Rainbow fight arc ending.

We will never know about Gokudera's father or Yamamoto's mother or how did Hibari end up with the Namimori shrine? How about Kyoko? She was the love interest since chapter 1 and nothing happened. Oh boy, the potential!

Chapter wise, I expected a more touching or memorable ending.. However I don't hate the current ending nor do I like it.

Manga wise, like others said.. It went down hill during mid of Future Arc.. The Inheritance arc and Arcobaleno arc actually have a good start.. Sadly, it eventually went downhill, in fact Future arc was the same..

It's a shame that the last chapters were so bad and I was holping for more character development, 'cause they have been growing on me since the beggining.
I gave a 8/10 'cause the first arcs were good enough and I love these characters, Varia specially.

I will miss Varia :'(

This is the first manga to have ended for me while reading it(Not counting the time when the last Dragonball book came in Danish). It was time for it to end, but it was too suddenly. Many untold stories left but well there will always be some no matter what.
Anyway, i really liked it and felt sad now that it ended, almost cried a tear (Ooh dear the flood of tears that will come the day One Piece ends) :( I still want some more and i'm gonna miss it !

A little sad it ended, but i think the time had already passed for it.
The only thing i wanted to see was Tsuna achieving the role of 10th Vongola, that didn't happen unfortunately. I would like to have seen Amano develop him further, not in the power matter, but his personality and determination.

This! What's wrong with Tsuna? Did he really achieve nothing but the addition of friends from his tutoring by Reborn/this entire manga? That is disappointing.
This serie was incredibly enjoyable though, despite the ups and downs.

8/10

Ya... the last battle with Kawahira and then just ended all too peacefully.. She should make it they beat a crap of Kawahira, or at least some fights between Tsuna and Kawahira before he revealed himself and they talked about it.

Well, I guess the author has no more ideas of new enemy or threat to come up with. I'm glad that she ended it now, before she actually decided to bring alliens/outerspace threats into the story lol (which I doubt she will)
Hmm, now that everything ended, I kinda want to watch the anime again, especially Future arc.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? whats with this sudden ending it basically resolved no problems introduced since the very beginning wow no conclusion to relationships no conclusion to vongola nothing was resolved just a sudden end what is this??!


Pretty much how I felt and to be honest I can only think up three reasons why an author would rush an ending like this:

1) They were told that they needed to end a series by a certain date which would mean they would have to rethink the ending they originally planned, shorten it, and therefore it would become rushed and bad unless the author was an uber amazing writer. The cause of this would most likely be low ratings, of course it could also be something personal as well (illness for example).

2) They are just a bad writer in general. For some reason I just don't get this vibe from Amano-sensei though. A lot of people felt that the series went downhill after the Future arc (some even say after the Varia arc) however I felt that the Mukuro arc, Varia arc, and Future arc were aimed at Tsuna's character growing stronger physically while the Inheritance and Arcobaleno arcs were more at emotional growth, as is seen by the maturity that Tsuna showed when he brought up the Primo when talking to Reborn and trying to convince him that he (Tsuna) wouldn't give up and also when he called the meeting to discuss the strategy for the fight. Anyways I'm straying from my point, I just don't feel that Amano is a bad writer.

3) The author plans for a sequel. Sequels don't happen very often in manga, then again I've watched more anime than I've read manga, still I've only come across one author that did a sequel (Takeshi Konomi), and since that's the only one I know of I'm going to use it as my point of comparison. A sequel can occur when a series reaches it's goal, in the Prince of Tennis Seigaku reached it's goal - winning nationals, in KHR Reborn was freed from the Arcobaleno curse (remember taking into account the title, the opening, and the ending, the focus of KHR was Reborn and his antics, not Tsuna even if he was the main character), but there is still room for character development. In the Prince of Tennis even though Seigaku won Natiionals Ryoma hasn't reached the peak of his growth, he is not as strong as he could be (Opening the doors for the New Prince of Tennis) in KHR's case Tsuna has not: A) Chosen a girl yet B) Become the Vongola 10th, or the Neo Vongola Primo as is pointed out at the end of the manga. At the end of the manga it's also stated that Tsuna hasn't changed at all except for the fact that he now has friends and has maybe grown a little stronger because of them.

-----------------------

Anyways those are just the three possibilities as to why the ending could be rushed. Personally I think it's either 1 or 3 (2 isn't a contender for me because like I said I don't think Amano-sensei is a bad writer) and I'm leaning towards 1 because like I stated above sequels are rare and while I'm hoping for one it's much more likely the story and characters of KHR are done for good and Amano will move on to something new. Others may have different opinions though and I'd honestly like to hear them.

Annnd the end. Never thought I'd see Reborn on my completed list--I always thought that it'd be a mere pipe dream, though that might be a crazy exaggeration.

I don't know how I feel about this.

I'm glad it's finally over now before dragging on to infinity, but that was a rather stereotypical ending. Le poop.

Oh well. 9/10 I suppose.

I swear manga's that are published in WSJ have the most unsatisfied and rushed endings ever. At the least they should give like a bonus 40 page to let the author finish up more satisfyingly.
But overall I give this manga an 8/10. I liked the main concept of this whole series and where it goes with each arc but the execution just always fall short.

I give this manga either an 8.5 or a 9/10. Probably a 9/10. I really enjoyed it, a lot of people say it went down hill after the future arc. I don't think so. I really enjoyed the arcs after the future arc. The ending was alright too. It wasn't what I expected, but I'm still satisfied.

Such a disappointing ending... even I would probably had done better.. it feels so rushed lately.

The ending would had been better if it was like, for example, we see who Tsuna be with in the end (Kyoko or Haru) but he was friendzoned...

Or a better one, that a timeskip past, (say, 10 years). He accepts his destiny as the 10th Vongola. We see everyone older, as the Boss and the Guardians, looking at the clear view of their hometown, on top of somewhere.

Would had been done better in numerous ways..

10/10 to 9.5/10 for me, minus 0.5 because of ending. Since I still loved Varia arc and the whole Future arc, which made up over most of the story, I am going to keep the score at 10 >.< I hope people who gave 10, don't go dropping it to 7 or 8 Dx at least keep it at 9.

- Little/No character development even by "battle-shonen" standards
- Rushed ending with a few holes remaining.
- Open ended, thus, basically incomplete.

The ending decides if it gets a + or - score.
The ending sucked, so its a -1 for me.
6/10 - Generous rating

Pretty much this. He is a completely stagnant character outside of ongoing arcs. A very poor degree of writing.

I don't dislike the last arc that much; it was just the meaning behind it. The revelation behind the Vindice was cool though

Checkerface is just not a good character. He talks like the curses were justified, and in the end, after so many many many years, he deals with a change. Also, why is flame so important?

Who was a good villain honestly? Xanxus? Byakuran? Spade?

...maybe I'm hitting it too hard. Maybe it is genius?

A pretty decent ending but doesn't do the series justice to be honest. D: Really wish Tsuna actually became the next boss of the Vongola family. Would also have liked to seen a little time skip. Still liked the ending though, went back to it's original roots. It's usual comedy and all. :)

As a whole, KHR was a pretty awesome shounen manga. The art style was indeed pretty weird at first but eventually I got used to it. Loved seeing Tsuna in his Dying Will state but when he reverts back to normal I kinda get annoyed seeing him all useless. xD All the other Vongola members and even the Varia were so awesome though. Yamamoto and Squalo ftw!
