Akame ga Kill!

The beginning of the manga is litteraly the same as the anime, but I really liked the ending. I don't want to spoil the story so I'm not going to talk about it. The ending of the manga is really another thing compared to the anime. That was one of the main reasons I liked the manga. I'm not an expert in ''arts'' of mangas, but I can say that it looked relatively good. Especially the eyes of ''the bad guys'' when they're pissed off. My favourite character was, of course, the main character: Tatsumi. I really liked how the ending finished for him unlike the one in the anime. He made mereally stunned at some points and that's why he is my favourite character. I really enjoyed reading the manga because I like how, they are '' merciless'' with the characters. You will understand what I mean if you read the manga. Anyways, akame ga kill is one of my favourite mangas that I ever read. That's why I recommend it.

"Akame ga Kill" is perhaps one of the more gory and dark mangas I have read up to date. With basically GoT styled killing of characters, this shounen turns into a bloody manga in the end. Mild Spoilers Beware~~~~~~~ Story: The story itself starts out pretty promising, with Tatsumi joining the Night Raid, determined to exterminate all evil from the Empire. Then you get introduced to Teigus, 48 powerful weapons. The plot isn't too dull or cliche for the most part as with "death flags" basically every fucking chapter and everywhere, characters seemed to be dying once per few chapters. Towards the end tho, more weird ass evilass sick ass characters are introduced just to kill them off. Like really? (this is talking about Wild Hunt) Anyway, the final chapters finally got pretty intense again, with main characters getting hurt, fighting Esdese/Esdeath , and Tatsumi transforming into a motherfking dragon. But even though it was not really a typical "shounen" powerup moment, I really didn't know how to feel about it. But yea, the story did kinda end up stereotypical with the "good" guys winning by a hair's breadth and getting close to 0 acknowledgement for it. Art: Pretty damn good. Fight scenes are absolutely gorgeous, gory, and full of movement. Teigu looks cool as fuk too. The characters themselves don't seem to age, other than Tatsumi. But yea, Esdese's facial expressions are really good too. Not much to say other than GOOD. Character: Well many characters were fleshed out just so that when they died it would feel more emotional. And that was alright I guess. I'm glad Tatsumi pretty much stayed true till the end with his attitude. But Esdese... ;_; ....... I wish she was less sadistic lmfao cuz I really like her. Where's the Esdese x Tatsumi as promised???????? nooooooo Anyways, the other characters were easily identifiable with easy to tell personality differences. Enjoyment: Yea I guess the beginning and end hit me the most. The story basically went to killing mode during the middle of the story so.... it wasn't really enjoyable. But the start with the setup, and the end with the epic battle was damn good. Overall: Yes, I will still be rating this as my 3rd fav anime/manga (1. AoT 2. Fate series in general) Why? Going past the bloody gory shounen, it is a tale of sticking to what you believe in. Tatsumi stuck out till the end. Esdese stuck out till the end. Akame, Leone, Najenda, Lubbock, etc, etc everyone did. Come for the gore, leave with (some) feels.

I saw the anime that came out a few years back and I remember enjoying it, so I decided to check out the manga due to my friends recommending it and I enjoyed this manga so much more than I remember enjoying the anime. Like a lot more. I will say this though, this manga may not be for you. I'm not saying that to come across the, "I'M SmArTeR ThAN u cUZ I rEAd MoRe ManGA" guy. I'm saying this because it's as the kids say, built different. Outside of Esdeath, who has become one of my favorite villains in anime and manga after thisreadthrough, the characters in Akame Ga Kill don't really stand out. Take for instance, the protags of this manga, Night Raid. I like each of them and their quirks, but I don't LOVE any of them. They're like the standard generic group you'd find in a shonen series. It's not like that's a bad thing, but it's not like it's a great thing either. At least in most cases. Characters obviously play a big role in a story's enjoyment, so while reading I was a bit confused. I was enjoying this series a lot more than I thought I would and I didn't really have a solid reason to point to as to WHY I was enjoying it. But then I realized that instead of any of the characters being the main character, the world itself was the main character. See what I mean by constructed unordinarily? The world in AGK is a horrible place, it shows a lot of gruesome stuff and at first it came across as just being edgy for the sake of being edgy. But after realizing that the world is the main character, I didn't see it as such anymore. All the edgy stuff that happens in the manga are things that have shaped the characters in it and continue to shape the characters. Which sounds simple and stupid because, DUH obviously a world would shape it's characters. But in AGK it's different. In most manga when characters are effected by the world, that goes to their own development as a character. Take for example Naruto, at the start of the series he was all alone, so his dream was to become Hokage to become acknowledged by the people in the village. The hardships he was presented by the world went to developing him as a character. But in AGK, each character's backstory isn't just used to help flesh out their character, in fact each character's backstory is very simple and to the point. It's primarily used as development to help flesh out the world of AGK. Each character has been effected in different ways by the world, and some characters accept it and are molded by it. And others reject it and fight for their freedom. Once I realized that, I enjoyed this series so much more. It's what made Esdeath such a fantastic villain for me, but I'll hold off on dropping a character analysis for her since we're talking about the series itself. Now that brings me back to this series potentially not being for you. If you read this and thought, "Sailor that is some of the most fake deep shit I've ever read in my life." Then it's probably not for you and that's ok. Once again, I don't wanna be an elitist ya know? As for me, I loved this story because of that. And despite a few minor issues I had with it, the ending was so satisfying to see play out. It was a nice little cherry on top. I was sitting on giving this series an 8, but after some thought I decided on 9. I had a lot of fun with this and if you're interested, give it a shot! I hope you enjoy it too!

Akame ga Kill is one of my favorite mangas and animes. The art is excellent and well defined. It's a shame the manga only has 80 chapters, as I'd read more easily right now! The characters are often drawn so well that they look like they're straight out of the anime. The history is the best part of the manga. The story is quite dark and explicit, which makes it stand out as one of the best. The history of manga and anime is quite different from the middle to the end, but both are excellent. In 80 chapters, Akame Ga Kill managed to achieve somethingthat other series haven't been able to do as well. I'm really drawn to the Esdeath character, who is introduced right at the beginning. She makes me think about things like morality and the environment of her birthplace.. I really recommend Akame Ga Kill, which I have the pleasure to read all days and rewrite sometimes!
