If you like One Piece, there is a pretty good chance you'll like Hitman Reborn. Bullets do special things rather than fruit or spirits or whatever.
Wow, i could bitch slap you for even comparing the 2

The manga itself isn't all that awful ( if a bit clusterfucky at times ) but the low quality scans of late turned me off from it

The anime is something of a 4kids adaptation on the subject with absolutely no blood and rarely visible wounds being show even after the enemies have been deep fry barbecued several times

The amount of censorship is beyond annoying and the first batch of episodes/chapters are amateur work at best. The author lucked out and with time the series began to shift to be more shonen action oriented, but only at the cost of some seriously ridiculous explanations on past events to create the illusion that this was what the artist intended all along.

You could watch it without scratching your eyes out ( it has its moments ) but with so many better options out there i wouldn't waste my time if i were you
