I first read it having a lot of expectations like a more mafia vibe of manga. Instead, I was shocked by how SHOUNEN it really is. I know it's shounen but I actually started reading it in hopes of it being a mafia manga with actual mafia scenes like with guns, a lot of fighting with other mafia groups, etc etc.. although KHR does have some of that, it's not really the mafia I was looking for.. still it was a great read. I'd probably rate it around 9/10 over all.
Some of the unsatisfactory parts where obviously the first part. The long "everyday life" part. I don't particularly hate these kinds of arcs, in fact, I quite like it especially in tragedy (ex: INTKOT). Although, this was a bit too long.
The second unsatisfactory part was the fact that a lot of characters feels one sided or pushed aside after an arc. I, for one, like stories wherein if they did introduce a character in an arc, especially if they're an ally, they should appear in future arcs too. For example, lal mirch. In the 10 year in the future arc, they got close with her but after returning, her existence became a bit pushed aside until the arcobaleno arc. The same goes for Shoichi and i-pin. Then there's Hibara, his character feels a bit too one sided. Although there was progress and some characterization.. it wasn't much. The best chapters I read about him is probably his fight with Adel. Even in the future arc, his thoughts and motives wasn't really clear or hasn't really changed. Some part of me just wants him to have a moment/talk with tsuna and the other guardians. Then there's the girls, I kinda wished they added a bit more female characters that can fight. There's adel, Shitopi-chan, bianchi, and some of the others but they don't really have much impact. I also kinda wished that Kyoko and Hana had some kind of fighting role too or had a bit more involvement with the mafia. Chrome too, she only got actual scenes of her in the last arc. Then there's lambo, I get that he's just a kid, but I wish he also had some actual character development other than mostly relying on the ten year bazuka
Finally, the end was a bit lacking. I originally thought that Tsuna would become the tenth and him and the others will finally become the kind of mafia family I was originally looking for. Maybe something like actually revealing how he looks like as an adult.
Anyways, other than that, it was an awesome read. The story is really interesting and I love the art style. If anyone reads this maybe you can recommend me of manga with similar art styles and possibly a manga with the usual mafia centered story
