compare the first chapter to the newest chapter and it is like two mangaka drawing the same series.

yeahhh, and it seems it's most evident in how tsuna has changed (not evolved, exactly) -

from into

and from into

gokudera's also become LOADS bishier (from being, yanno - sanji), which is to my liking :3 yamamoto, oddly enough, hasn't changed much face-wise, although he's starting to get a fashion sense (LOVE his outfit in his fight with squalo ♥). must be taking tips from gokudera now. his biker!chick gear is perpetually reaching new levels of hot XD

KHR is lots of fun, isn't it? i'm having a blast not wanting to quit the damn thing XD you're right, it's full of plot holes and weirdass character development, among other things, but it's still mightily addictive. plus, the lack of detail on the characters actually leaves plenty of room for the imagination to play in. i see yamamoto as a complex and highly ficcable char, for example.

the most popular baseball thing going on these days i think is ookiku furikabutte, or oofuri for short. it looks very promising, and it's also definitely on my to-see list! along with code geass and blood+.
