action comedy mafia shounen |
SynopsisSawada Tsunayoshi is regular boy who has never excelled in sports, school or social life, thus being named "No Good Tsuna". Everyday, he leads just a normal life, living with his mother, while his father is away for work. But the thing Tsunayoshi doesn't know is that his family is actual lineage of the great Mafia Boss, the first head of Vongola, Giotto.
Because of the Sawada history, Tsuna has been chosen to become tenth head of the Vongola family, an infamous Italian mafia family which rules the Mafia world. To become worthy of the title, Tsuna is being aided by professional hitman and infant, Reborn, who takes the role of Tsunayoshi's mafia tutor.

If you're able to stand seven manga worth of one chapter mini crack stories, only to get hit with a bag full of PLOT, then Katekyo hitman reborn might be the manga for you.
Tsuna Sawada, the main protagonist, is introduced as a middle school boy who can do nothing right, and is a constant screwup. In comes Reborn, an assassin in the shape of a baby, who's badassery knows no bounds, and who consequently informs Tsuna that he's the unlikely successor to the greatest mafia family in the world, the Vongola. Tsuna certainly doesn't want this thrown upon him, but has no choice in the face of Reborn's stark violence- soon enough, he starts training, building courage and character, making friends/potential allies, and battling bad guys for his right to rule as the Tenth leader of the Vongola.
The first seven books are all comprised of various one-shots, introducing the characters, their quirks, and setting the groundwork for the eventual plot. When the eighth manga begins, the story suddenly gets heavy- the main and side characters begin to loosely band together to fight a common enemy, and the fun, happy times begin turning much more serious. However, there's still the occasional humor- the manga hasn't quite lost it's fun tone, but all in all, it sucks you in much, much faster than the 'Daily Life' arc did.
Reborn has something that always makes you look back to the previous chapters- the artist, Akira Amano, has written the story so that there's tiny little hints and foreshadowing to any current plot- hundreds of chapters ago! After the crack chapters, the plot suddenly becomes engaging and complex- enough to keep any happy fan's mind brewing with theories and counter-theories.
The art is also amazing- while it starts off a little *too* clean, a little *too* boring, Amano develops her style and by the current chapter, it's flowing with a unique individuality that makes you linger over the full-page spread for minutes.
Speaking of art- the very best thing this manga has to offer, hands down, are the characters themselves. Their dynamics, their quirks- everything about them sets them apart from so many others with their almost realistic feel and complexity. From Gokudera, the spoiled rich kid who tries to act tough and make it in the mafia world, to Belphegor, a prince to a royal bloodline who murdered his twin when they were younger and now goes insane at the sight of his own blood, to Mukuro/Chrome, the complex duo who seem to contrast eachother as the sociopathic world conquester, to the small, innocent girl- and yet, who seem to only be able to live as a part of one another in a form of strange symbiosis.
Of course, there's your run-of-the-mill characters too. The Quiet Badass/Dues ex Machina, Hibari, the overly loud, overly enthusiastic Ryohei- but even they have their quirks (extreme patriotism, extreme big-brother complex) that don't make them boring in the slightest.
Think you can get past hitmen babies (who, of course, aren't *really* babies), inventive weapons, and being kept out of the main plot for seven manga? What if we promised you an amazing plot, fully-fleshed characters, and bad guys who keep you guessing until the very end?
The choice, of course, is yours. read more

KHR! is basically just another shounen manga, but it is still one of my favourites. the biggest difference between KHR! and other shounen manga is the current art style. it starts out kind of generic looking, but along the way the mangaka improved a lot in regard to detail, and the male characters ended up being drawn in a more feminine way than you would normally expect to see in shounen manga, but it isn't off-putting if you are just a guy who wants to read an awesome action story. though as a typical fangirl, i think the beautiful artwork definitely influenced the placement of KHR! in my top five manga.
there isn't anything particularly inspiring about the story, but it's never boring. the first seven volumes focus mainly on well-executed comedy and character introductions while the eighth volume and onward revolve around action-oriented story arcs and an overall plot involving the mystery behind the title character (reborn) which is revealed bit by bit over time. there is also a reccuring theme of "family loyalty" which i think leaves a good feeling with the reader.
the main character, tsuna, might seem annoying at first if you hate wussy weak-willed characters, but his timid personality and hatred of confrontation just make it all the better when he finally finds the resolve to fight in order to protect his friends. the rest of the very many characters are pretty much just as cliché as that sounded, and there isn't a whole lot of character development for most of them, but i honestly can't think of a single character that i dislike, and i can definitely think of a few that i love (ignoring the fact that they are all 14 year old boys...... ..........).
if you like shounen manga, you shouldn't pass this one up. if you are more of a shoujo lover, it lacks romance, but all the beautiful boys are so nice to look at. if you don't like reading really long manga, all i can say is that i've reread over 200 over the chapters without losing interest. it's a very easy manga to get caught up in, and reading it is definitely not a waste! read more

the main characters start out very similar both very weak willed and give up easy, the story's although very different bring about change to them and along with the help of some brilliant supporting characters they find out they are far stronger then they first thought.
The main character are very similar scared and very protective the do anything to protect the ones they love.
The build up and changes and problems faced in story allow the character to develop and in that sense this story is very similar.
Both series have a hapless loser protagonist who becomes part of a group initially against his will and in doing so forms bonds and grows as a person. Together they face increasingly formidable opponents as the series increases in seriousness and intensity, with themes of teamwork, friendship, and hard work become becoming major elements. Although the overall subjects of the series are different, the structure, character types, and themes are remarkably similar.
well they both are down right funny and they both have action. but reborn iis about mafia and eyesield 21 is about football other than that and a few other things they have a lot a like.
It's really difficult not to make parallels between Eyeshield 21 and Katekyo Hitman Reborn. For me, at least. The protagonists are quite similar: Dame Tsuna who doesn't display tremendous skill for anything, but has a big heart and Sena, and often bullied high school student also with a big heart. Both manga deal with the growth and maturation of the main character whilst making great friends on the way. Tsuna and Sena also look quite similar. Though the universes both deal with are vastly different and some themes vary, there's a very similar large underlying. Both series are fun to read and have memorable characters.

The fights, the enemies and the reason why they fight. The first 7 tankoubon are crack but then it starts the good part of the history.
These two manga have very similar feeling story arcs at least in pattern, though one is about the mafia and the other is about shinigami they both have the same battle manga mantra of "must get stronger" etc.
Similar fights, lots of power ups and supernatural abilities. Similar character personalities and design.
