Katekyo Hitman Reborn! 299
[scanlation by I Eat Manga]
“A shadow approaches” … to probably train Tsuna and his team.
There is apparently a fine line between looking devastated and looking high. Tsuna is crossing that line.
There’s a character called “Coyote Nougat.” Yep. Only in Reborn!.
No prizes for guessing the figure on the cover page was a mentor character of some kind, and only a couple points awarded for guessing he was a bizarre old man.
Oh dear, the Vongola rings have spirits. Not that it’s being done well, but Bleach is already covering the “inhabited weapons” quota for Jump. This is a path I’d hoped Reborn! wouldn’t take.
This is incredibly linear power-up development, right down to this creepy old man having the blood of Vongola Primo. It’s such a waste of an entire series to just deliberately make infinite parallels between the main characters and their predecessors. Why not let Tsuna succeed on his own merit?
Final Flash: All of the early charm of the series is again being ignored in favor of the simplest shonen storytelling imaginable. Boring chapter.
