An Amazing Manga Worth Reading!!Jan 25, 2010
By Golden-Flute
If you've never read Reborn! (which I'm guessing you haven't if you're reading this), a small synopsis of the main storyline is that a boy named Tsunayoshi Sawada (nicknamed "No-Good Tsuna" by his classmates) only has dreams of being with the girl he has a major crush on, Kyoko. But due to his blaring unpopularity, he never tells her how he feels and ends up admiring her from afar. One day a strange baby named Reborn wanders into his life claiming to be one of the Mafia's top hitmen with an assignment to train Tsuna to become the next Mafia Boss Leader! Though he is extremely unmotivated, he goes along with Reborn's antics and soon makes friends who join his new Mafia family.
I HIGHLY recommend picking this story up and giving it a good try! After reading the first volume, this series easily became one of my top three favorite manga storylines of all time! Granted, it takes a bit to get to the first major plot point (roughly 8 volumes), but please don't let that stop you from trying it! Another thing I love about this series is that the fillers are the most hilarious and entertaining things you'll ever read! So while the first several volumes have an air of "filler" around them, they are very important for introducing the massive amount of well-developed characters into the story.
Five stars from me because there isn't a single character in the story (good or evil) that I don't love and Akira Amano's stunning artwork and storytelling is absolutely captivating! Everyone has beautiful and amazing backgrounds that help to push the plot forward. Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is slowly turning into a very popular manga and it completely deserves it!

 Unique, funny, and great for any manga fan.Jul 23, 2008
By Harmony Lawler
Reborn! is a very unique series. SJ advanced homes many unique titles but this one has this one has the right amount of action and comedy mixed with a nice story to be one of the best. This review is coming from a girl who's manga collection consists of shojo manga so it takes a good action manga to get me read it and this is good.
All the characters are lovable and well defined. The main character is easy to identify with too. Not many stereotypes which is always a plus.
The art is a nice shonen style that has cute babies(dont worry. he has a gun) and beautiful girls so it doesnt fall short at all. The only reason I dont give it a 5/5 is because it doesnt really pick up until after volume 3. But it's worth it.

"Waring King"
Destroying the sterotypical perceptions that we have for a story of mafia this manga goes all out in making an interesting plot and makes for a great read with all the cool characters.
The first few volumes go towards making the "family" of the main characters mafia gang, but afterwards it gets a bit serious with majaor character progression and cute little things that make this story from being called boring.
The first volume revolves the main character being meet by a baby hitman named Reborn who helps him to become the 10th boss of a mafia gang, and through a bit of suffering the main character gains a few new friends, and enemies.
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Jul 17, 2011

I'm not going to explain the storyline to everyone because the previous reviewer has already done it. This manga is one of the best manga I have ever read, now I know everyone says " OMG, this manga is awesome with the swords, guns, fox [ that's you naruto ], Bankai [ bleach ], rubber [ one piece ] and the fights are epic with a ploline that has a bunch of main baddies ". Now I'm not going to push you onto it because it takes a while to get started [ vol 8 ], so if you have no patience, go away now, the first real big arc is the varia arc. This manga by my standards, is good, if I say really good that might be an understatement. The shonen aspect comes into play at [ guess what ] vol 8, the first volumes are introducing [ the extensive cast ], but many manga take a while to get started [ bleach ] and it took longer and yet it is in the big three, bleach has been going down in the weekly ranking [ 12 out of 15 ] where as reborn is just getting better [ 6 out of 15 ]. Now reborn has stopped at 16 [ out of 30 volumes ] because of low sales because the series isn't doing well in america [ aswell as gin tama at 23 ]. All I ask is that you consider reborn as a new series when you are looking for one because the series entered the best arc yet at vol 16 and you might enjoy it [ I do ]. You don't have to [ I'm not demanding you to get it ] Just get it on your own accord I would give it a higher mark if I could, in fact, why not 1,000,000 out of 5.
