oh baby. submitted by Brad B. on March 3, 2009, 11:39am Reborn is about an ordinary kid who one day finds a mafia hit-man on his doorstep there to "tutor him" to become the next great mafi boss. Did I mention the hit-man is a talking baby with a magical gun. I’m not making this up. That’s just the beginning. This series has lots of shonen action, and quirky comedy to boot. The slightly disturbing fact that the main character has to be shot dead (sometimes willingly) with a gun in order to be reborn and receive his powers every chapter puts this series perhaps more for older teens or adults, but it’s definitely worth checking out if you need an action/comedy fix.
Awesome? submitted by InterestedPat on July 1, 2011, 11:01am This is one of the best manga series I have ever met. It combines a great balance of action and a big dollop of humor. I love the jokes they make in this book and it can make me literally laugh out loud when I'm reading the series. Read the entire thing! This is recommended for mainly teenagers.
