There are two little keys right next to the letter "m" with symbols on them called a "comma" and a "period." You really should use those, or the mods are going to keep locking all your posts.

I read the first volume of Reborn! and I thought it was an interesting read just because of how truly insane it was, what with people constantly shooting each other in the face and what not. While I haven't sought out any more volumes, I will say that I certainly was never bored. As I put it in my review, "Heck, I'm not even sure I liked it, but I certainly couldn't put it down." Whether that's a ringing endorsement or not probably depends on the reader...

Don't forget that tricky 'shift' key.

As for Reborn, I'm interested in reading it but I haven't done so yet. I'm really enjoying the anime right now so if the manga is anything like it, then I'll probably enjoy it as well.

Why is it weird that you're a guy who likes a shounen series?

I've got the first three volumes, but I've only read the first one to date. Some of the later chapters I've seen from more recent Jumps look awesome, so I'm really looking forward to getting there in the series, but I have been enjoying the anime quite a bit.

Though its main draw early looks to be just the absurdity of cute, baby hitmen and their cute, baby rivals, I just hope some of the more cool, badass moments I'm looking forward to translate well into the story. I know I'm certainly not disappointed in any of the characters so far. I'm interested to see where the series goes

I read Reborn from the beginning, and it seemed kind of whack. So I stopped reading it after what you probably consider the first volume since I was reading it via Shonen Jump. Perhaps a review of it could be in order, to maybe go beyond and see if it improved at all.

Then I'll help you out a little: It's 'grammar' not 'grammer'.

Well to get this topic back on track...yea I've been enjoying it alot (granted, I got into the series because of the later arcs where it gets more action packed).
It's a silly comedy sure...but what more would you expect from a manga with a hitman baby?? If you're only mildly interested in it, I would say to hang in there for just a while longer as the story will take a huge turn and become a very good action series (while still retaining the same sense of humor). The story is actually pretty intriguing for something with such a silly premise.
For now it's still in silly comedy phase, but even in voumes 2 and 3 the comedy has improved since the first volume

To fighterholic: Yes it improves ALOT. Even if you hate the first few volumes, the later parts will make you at least tolerate the early parts. It's giving Bleach and Naruto a run for their money in terms of popularity in Jump. The art improves alot and the characters (who all had fighting abilities to being with) are put to good use action-wise.
