Katekyo Hitman Reborn! By: Akira Amano
Ciaossu. Sup guys?! Today I'm reviewing one of my personal favorites. This Shojo style Shonen Manga is done by my favorite author/illustrator, Akira Amano and ran in Shonen jump. It has 409 chapters and has an anime with 203 episodes (Apparently its just on hiatus not quite sure).
Story/Plot
The story is set in Naminori, Japan. It follows a nonathletic unpopular absentminded middle school-er Sawanda Tsunayoshi or as he's called loser Tsuna. That is until the day a hitman named Reborn comes to his house. Reborn tells Tsuana that he is next in line to head the worlds most powerful Mafia family. Tsuna isn't convinced, but Reborn becomes his tutor to train him to become a good mafia boss. Reborn helps lift Tsuna's status from loser to cool (somewhat). This brings Tsuna new friends, but it also gets them caught up in the mafia business.
ART
I really like the more shojoish style brought to this shonen Manga. It gives the Manga an interesting atmosphere. It goes good with the story and the charecter design is pretty cool, although sometimes the faces look kinda weird. Overall there isn't much bad stuff to say about it though. Nice job Amano-Sensei.
Final Remarks
Reborn is a great example of what can happen when you mix styles for the better or worse. Although the story line is the classic strong guy trains weak guy into a BOSS (Literally). It is still very entertaining despite its rushed conclusion. Still a must read.
