Katekyo Hitman Reborn! 283
That cover. Wow.
So the next arc is the inheritance ceremony? If Amano completely forgoes everything that made the Future arc tedious, there is potential for a return to form. The best moments of this series were early, when Tsuna was a frantic kid who didn’t want any part of the mafia life being thrust upon him. That would be interesting. Box weapons and a generic calm bishonen hero would not.
… her name is Shitt P. Shitt P. Seriously. Shitt P. You have to be kidding me.
Hibari in the context of school is far more interesting than Hibari fighting battles he doesn’t really care about, so maybe this conflict will bring back the better Hibari.
Unsurprisingly, Kozato (and surely the rest of the transfer students) have some kind of secret relating to Tsuna and company.
Final Flash: Too early for an overall verdict, but… Shitt P. Come on. Shitt P.
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! 282
With a name like “Farewell, Future.” this chapter has to be an improvement, right? … right?
Goodbyes are taking too long.
I certainly hope there’s an MST3k Time Chasers-like moment coming soon. “I left my keys at the Manchu Wok of the future!”
No more boxes?! This is getting better already.
Oh, never mind. sigh.
Final Flash: Not much of a chapter, but it’s such a tremendous relief to see the words “Future Arc – End.” Amano hasn’t always been this poor, so let’s hope for a return to form.

It’s actually over. I was worried Amano would pull some Bleach-like stunt and only one of Byakuran’s forms was defeated or something equally ridiculous.
Whoa, Xanxus. Brutal.
The unknown, strange-talking infant is actually somewhat amusing. Better than Skull, at least.
It’s about to have all been a dream! Can’t wait to wrap up this colossal waste of time.
Final Flash: Still waiting on completely conclusion of this terrible arc, but nice to see we’re getting there.

Too much dialogue, most of which has already been covered. Move it along, please.
Some of these closeups feature much better art than most of the future arc. Clean, concise, easily legible.
It’s way too late for a meaningful Byakuran flashback. If you wanted me to care about him, this should have come 50 chapters ago.
Disappointing that we must wait yet another week for the full climax.
Final Flash: This is it. I’m ready for conclusion, fallout, and a new arc. Here’s your last chance to redeem yourself, Amano.
