I admit I read this for one reason only: there's tons of doujinshi for this series, and I kinda wanted to know the background before giving them a try. Now, after the first volume I seriously doubt this is for me - but since there has to be a reason why so many people like this, I'll probably try one more volume of this. Or a few more, depending.

 Generalmente no registro los mangas que leo en GR porque uso otro método para organizarlos, pero dudo que logre mi meta de lecturas de este año ( y esta es una relectura) así que decidí hacer una excepción con este manga, y quizás otro en el año, quién sabe.

Leí este manga por primera vez hace 10-11 años? y como mi vida es un desastre emocional decidí refugiarme en cosas de mi niñez-adolescencia que me traen nostalgia, es decir Reborn.

Esta calificación corresponde a los 8 o 9 primeros tomos. Los amo, me divertí mucho volviéndolos a leer y recordando cosas que había olvidado pero en general, la historia no agarra ritmo para mi hasta el tomo 10, por tanto 2 estrellas. 

Calificación desde los tomos 10 hasta el final.

Creo que dejé casi todo dicho en la otra reseña, amo esta historia a pesar de todas sus fallas (como su obvio mentalidad de "las mujeres pertenecen en la cocina") Le tengo mucho cariño a los personajes, porque como ya dije a sido más de 10 años desde que leí esta historia y a diferencia de otras que leí durante el mismo tiempo, si tenia ganas de volver a este mundo.

Okay, this is more of a warning and less of a review.

The first volume of this book, and the next seven, are BEYOND SLOW MOVING AND PLOTLESS.

However, once you get to the ninth volume, bang!, you get a bucketful of plot thrown at you, and it's impossible not to love it. The story gets so good, that it makes up for the horrible start and deserves little less than 5 stars.

Basically, your general plot is that the main character, Tsuna, is told he is to become the tenth generation mafia boss for the Vongola family. However, Tsuna is an utter loser who sucks at sports and academics equally. And so hilarity ensues. It makes for a good gag manga in the start, but turns out to be much better.

So give it some time. Amano certainly does this series justice throughout the various arcs.
