tiredfox's review against another edition

Okay this is going to be a short one due to the fact that there really is not much plot in the earlier volumes (1-10) of the series.
This volume continued to develop characters that were introduced in the first volume as well as bring in some new ones.Among them are a rival love interest a crazy boxer and a delinquent. The comedy from the first volume stays pretty much the same with a lot of the humour coming from the absurd situations the cast finding themselves in over the course of the volume.
Some of my favourite characters in the series were introduced in this volume. These range from the delinquent school committee head to the series principle love interests brother who is slightly nutsAnother fun character brought in was one main characters ex lover and another main characters sibling who cooks lethal food unintentionally. this leads to much humour since to start off with no one is entirely sure what is going on and the results are amusing.The only negative is the new potential love interest that got introduced. i found her slightly creepy and just as annoying as the original one from the first volume. The reason for this is that she seems slightly too obsessed with the main character and doesn't seem to think behaviours through which gets a bit annoying the more she appears.
Overall a fairly good volume with a fair amount of comedic events as well as fun character introductions. Should be interesting to see who gets introduced next and what effect they will have on the series.
Pros:
Still fairly entertaining and amusing
New characters introduced were fun
Some character development with a couple of major characters
Cons:
Principle love interest is still annoying and has had no noticeable character growth
New love interesting creepy and is slightly to obsessed with the main character
Limited plot progress

spinescens's review against another edition
okay yeah no. 1.5 volumes of this was enough. Tsuna as a main character is completely grating; "I'm a loser, nobody likes me, and I'm failing my classes" is something that gets real tired for me real quick.
On top of that, all the female characters introduced so far were only connected to male characters in some way. Nana is just Tsuna's mum, Kyoko is the girl Tsuna is madly in love with, and then when Bianchi gets introduced, we learn that she used to date Reborn (which like isn't he a baby? how is that okay?). They're not people (or even just characters) on their own, they need a male character to give them meaning. Not to mention that Bianchi is the only female mafia character so far, and the fact that her "power" is basically cooking... I am exhausted.
