You all should really check this anime/manga out. My cousin downloaded an episode on a whim, and suggested it to me awhile ago. I've been watching into it for a few months, but haven't thought to inform the masses. Seriously, check it out. Bleach and Naruto fans will dig it for sure, although the plot is much more different than either.
The plot revolves around the life of a young boy named Tsunayoshi Sawada, who finds out that he is the next in line to become the boss of the most powerful Mafia organization, the Vongola Famiglia. As such, the Vongola's most powerful hitman, a gun-toting infant named Reborn, is sent to tutor "Tsuna" on how to become a respectable boss.
Reborn! has become one of the best-selling manga from Shueisha with several of its volumes becoming top-sellers in Japan. Reviewers from the series praised its used of comedy as well as the designs used for the infants characters.
Or hit up onemanga.com for the manga itself. Be advised, the serious plot doesn't start in the manga until volume 8, where it becomes more violent, and more shonen than comedic.
Latest chapter was sweet! I'm glad the focus is back on the strengths of the original vongola, not their future versions. Also, Lambo got new powers along with the rest of them!
Hmmm latest chapter is more closure to the latest adventure than anything else, I'm looking forward to seeing the Vongola throw down some more, but mostly Lambo.
Lol I just watched the first episode. Does Tsuna stay that way? And always loose his clothes? But even though I only seen only one ep I like it so far.

Well the art is obviously a little different. A bit more detailed and shadowy. It starts off as a more comedic anime, then around the start of the first real "arc" it becomes a more shonen story with more violent fighting around episode 19.
Not a Hibari fan? True, he is one of those stereotypical "I'm not friends with you people" type of guy, although he does become more interesting later, once you see everybody in action.
