Overview
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! is a multimedia franchise represented in Volluble by 8 connected works across 5 media categories. This hub organizes the franchise by release chronology and gives newcomers a clear starting point.
Synopsis
Katekyo Hitman Reborn! follows Tsunayoshi “Tsuna” Sawada, a clumsy, ordinary middle schooler who is suddenly told he is the heir to the Vongola mafia family. To prepare him, the Vongola sends Reborn, an infant hitman and strict tutor, into Tsuna’s life. Reborn trains Tsuna in the family’s supernatural combat style, where resolve ignites Dying Will Flames, and introduces a growing cast of allies, rivals, and guardians. At first Tsuna wants nothing to do with the mafia, but his friends and family are pulled into increasingly dangerous conflicts.
The story grows from school comedy and training gags into larger battles involving rival families, future threats, and the responsibilities of leadership. Across the franchise, the world broadens through spin-offs, novels, and short anime adventures that spotlight side characters, alternate missions, and lighter everyday moments. The core remains Tsuna’s reluctant journey from fearful student to capable leader, surrounded by Reborn’s harsh but caring guidance and a found family of eccentric guardians.
