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

Ah, where shall I start with KHR?
I was introduced to the franchise through the anime. When I realized the anime was cancelled, I finished the anime and then moved on to the manga. Every time I finished a chapter, the next one just got even better. I honestly enjoyed every moment of reading this. Story is flawless, ofc. The archetypes in the manga are just as perfect. The art is amazing. You can see she put her heart and soul into her drawings (esp in the Simon Arc and her drawings of Daemon Spade completely revived). Overall, I enjoyed this manga a lot. Hopefully, Akira will make another ...

This manga is really awesome in my point of view. I heard about it from a friend, and I decided to check it out. I got hooked immediately. The drawing style was cool, and the storyline was fantastic, just my type of manga. It starts out comical, but then later chps show it get intense and with some major action. And it's about the mafia. I mean that's rare to find a manga about the mafia.
And I absolutely love the characters! Especially since the main character is weak and totally useless. It makes for good comedy.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn is a shounen about Tsuna, a no good loser from japan. Until he is visited by Reborn, a hitman home tutor from the vongola family. Together with Reborn tsuna must train to become the next mafia boss of the vongola.
Hitman Reborn has a fairly slow start but once the second arc begins you wont be able to stop watching. The characters unfortunately is where the show falls down. All the characters are predictable with one or two exceptions and some characters become useless and annoying towards the later parts of the manga. The artwork is quite good, the the attacks look awesome and emotional ...

I have to say Reborn is one of the mangas I've liked the most out of the many I've read. What I liked the most, and the reason why I even started reading it is because of the genre shift that made Reborn so famous, and it's something really amazing. It really shows you how the story grows and changes from the original lighthearted and quirky gag manga to a darker and more action based version with great characters and developtment.
Tsuna is one of my favorite characters in all of manga because of his growth from a shy, insecure and cowardly boy into ...

(just for the record, this is a slight alteration of my anime review)
Katekyo Hitman Reborn!, aka “The Idiotic Mafia anime”. Who would have guessed that the Godfather would get such a ridiculous spin-off in Japan? And here I thought zombies called orcs in Gungrave was too much. But let’s clarify a few things first. This show is a silly action/comedy that uses a backdrop story as an excuse for mostly random gags and some guys to come fight with some other guys. Don’t expect a captivating, multi-layered, well-thought of scenario. It is just a typical “kid wants to grow stronger and more secured with himself and ...

This manga is definitely worth a shot if you have enough patience- or you do have a liking for gag manga aside from action shounen manga. For the first 65 chapters or so it is mostly composed of one chapter stories that display the somewhat comedic daily life of main character Tsuna, and many of the main characters are introduced during these chapters- my advice is, don't let these chapters fool you into thinking that Reborn! is a boring manga that is filled with filler-like blank plots, it really isn't and that is because after these chapters, the series gets very, very good- sort

Chapters Read: 304
Overall Score: 7 This is a manga review. I promise I'll hit the anime once I'm further into it, but it hasn't registered enough episodes logged for me to review yet. Story - 5 The story in Katekyo Hitman Reborn is subpar at best and full of almost painful cliches. Full of previously unmentioned relatives, abusive senseis, naive characters, and pseudo villians who will join the heroes cause eventually. Ugh! The story surrounds Sawada Tsunayoshi who is a middle school student, he is naive, whiny, foolish, and over all extremely reluctant to get involved with anything. Before we ever have a chance to actually get ...

If you are wanting to read a fun manga series dealing with mafia and a lot of random things being thrown in there filled with a lot of action, then I think this series will probably be right for you.
There's a lot of arcs in this series dealing with the future and past, many different mafia bosses, you have other mafia countries thrown in here, and you have a whimpy boy who is no good and useless for the main character. For those who read this already know what I am talking about, our main character hero is a boy called Tsuna ( nickname of course ...

Katekyo Hitman Reborn.......
The manga Katekyo Hitma Reborn or Reborn is one of the most interesting mangas I have ever read. The first 25 or so chapters are displayed as a joke or a gag manga as it was originally intended but as the nonsense were done it took a left turn to battle type manga like the other gag manga Gintama. Now the recent chapters are displayed as it belong in the battle manga genre. The story went deeper as the chapters went on. The characters are memorable especially the titular character Reborn as its iconic stature as a Chibi Hitman. The main character Tsunayoshi Sawada ...

I was introduced to KHR through the anime I guess, when I'm on IG debating who's the stronger anime character, I would hear about Tsuna. I would always see one picture with the flames had me thinking "This guy is a total badass" and he was a pretty strong guy so I wanted to watch the anime to see him in action.
I looked up the anime only to find it was pretty old and didn't have dub(personally I like to watch older anime in dub) I was still going to watch it then I saw it had a lot of filler mixed episodes so I ...

I first watched the anime and it was my first time watching an anime so I completely fell in love with it so when I found out that there were more stories in the manga, I immediately started reading it and got immersed to the story.
It was a good choice for me to read from the beginning because there were a lot of chapters that were not in the anime and there were some episodes in the anime that were not written in the manga. Hitman Reborn is one of the best anime and manga out there, I encourage you guys to read and ...

Basically Katekyo Hitman Reborn!AT THE START is a comedy kind of like 'doreamon' which starts with a problem and ends solution which is tsuna getting shot in the head and getting topless to save the day.
After the first with volumes the manga heats up and evoles into a fighting manga with battles using dieing will flames! Everything gets more exciting after this with more enemies every corner and new weapons everybattle. The art is eye catching,hard to believe that they are able to draw so well with a deadline of 1 week.

This is the first work i've ever taken the time to review but i think its worth it. It would be sad for someone to read only the first few chapters and then quit it because it wasn't what they thought it'd be.
Reborn is a FANTASTIC MANGA/ANIME. It really is a work of art. I will praise it up and down except for first chunk of chapters/episodes. Until chapter 62 the story is CRAP. HORRIBLE, HORRENDOUS AND SO DISSAPOINTING. Its the whole comedy aspect of it, and while they're are funny moments its prolonged for too long and it ruins the concept of a mafia story. The ...

Hello this is my second review and first on a manga so I hope you like it
Reborn definitely one of my favorite manga A very good story with good characters and also fights History: The beginning somewhat cliche in manga shonen as the main character Sawada Tsunayoshi (Tsuna) good for nothing that her mom would hire a tutor called reborn which is just a baby, reborn confesses that he was sent by the mafia to train the 10th head of the mafia vongola Tsuna and so it all started. By time passes, Tsuna gets to know new friends and enemies like Gokudera, Yamamoto and thanks to its master is ...

Truly a fulfilling read. The manga starts slow and is more similar to a gag comedy at first, but picks up and barrel rolls into becoming a full on Shounen Action manga. While the main character Sawada Tsunayoshi is a bit self-centered and pathetic at first, you will keep coming back for the lovable characters that are first presented (such as Yamamoto Takeshi and Reborn) and unlike in many mangas, you will come to love and appreciate Tsuna as his true character develops thanks to his Hitman Tutor Reborn. While the ending of the manga is a bit rushed, almost all the arcs are flushed

what a ride. let's me just say that the ending for this series was so perfect. The anime was very good, especially the songs, but since i started the manga I was continously blown away. Everything looked and flowed so much better in manga forms, in my humble opinion, of course. Even stuffs that I previously sometimes found annoying in the anime such as lambo, kyoko, haru and the random comedic moments ..... became parts that I absolutely love in the manga! I dont know whether it was the story of the manga arcs or the manga art, but the humour dynamic was played out

After about a month and a half's time of reading this, i could say all 409 chapters were worth it. I decided to finally read the original work after I loved the anime when I completed it 9 months ago (was it only 9 months? Feels so long ago...). Both the anime and the manga are the longest works I've completed and both a considerable favorite of mine.
Good things about the manga The plot is definitely good. The main character is "No-Good/Loser" Tsunayoshi Sawada who is bad at everything and a coward. He meets a baby who his mother had hired as a home tutor and ...

I used to love this back when I was 15 or so. Time do change things, huh?
It's clear that the author didn't planned the series to go as far as it went, the first several chapters present a mostly slice of life manga focused on comedy, but eventually the author realizes that it's a Jump title, so BOOYAH! here comes some bad fighting arcs, from here all the way to the end, with a tinge of badly written science fiction. The problem with this series is repetition, which is not an abnormal thing when it comes to Jump titles, but it's just too damn much. The ...

Katekyo Hitman Reborn is a cult classic of the Shonen genre. The premise is quirky even by usual standards, and the sudden and permanent switch from comedy to action may leave you bewildered, but this manga is one that stands on its own beside the other greats for its character development, unique story arcs, and a healthy balance between comedy and action/adventure.
Reborn's plot centers around a young boy named Tsunayoshi Sawada, nicknamed "No-Good Tsuna", who unwillingly becomes the pupil of the infant in a suit and hat named Reborn! The catch is, this is to become the 10th head of the mafia family known ... |
