More like a quarter copy since Gin is lame and Serpico is awesome.

As for my favorite, hmmmm probably the little witch girl (the scans keep changing her name -.-) she's awesome.

Trying to read KHR next but it's a chore. It's hard to get into a manga when the main character has no redeeming qualities. There are other stories that have main characters who start weak and go through a metamorphosis, but Tsuna is like the worst of all of them. He's like the lamest main character among all of the lame main characters. I plan to read it through anyways, but it's slow.

Does it seem like Tsuna has no redeeming qualities in this?

I can't watch videos here, and even Closer has more going for him, at least he's very stubborn from the get-go. Closer is from Magic Ban Removal!! Hyde and Closer.

Forgot his name but the main character of MAR is at least interesting and has a very vivid imagination, and there's something about his playfulness that can reach the audience. I remember thinking something like that about MiXiM's main character too but I can't remember. Both of those are by the same author/artist as Flame of Recca I think.

So far, Tsuna is running around, whining about being useless, and actually being useless until he gets shot. Among main characters that I've disliked, or I've felt weren't worthy of the mantle of "main character", he takes the cake on being the worst I've seen yet. I'm not saying that won't change, the story seems to do the whole "from zero to hero" thing as I call it, but he's like less than a zero compared to other zeros. 

In short, he's not interesting to me. He doesn't seem to have any quality that makes him unique from the other characters in the story, so he's very normal. If I were reading a normal manga, that would be fine, but when I'm reading a manga about how he can be shot in the forehead and live, or with the 10 year bazooka, I expect something equally radical out of the main character. I'll keep reading it, and maybe my opinion will change eventually, but as it is now, it's not very interesting.
