Pretty much jammed pack with action and build up to the completion in a few volumes.

Another major death....Esdeath/Tatsumi's "relationship" takes a dark turn.

Just as I think Esdeath's character is becoming a little more softer...she's back to torture..death etc...so I'm intrigued to see exactly where she'll end up in the scheme of things.

Lubbock was amazing in this volume.
I'm still not a fan of Tatsumi and Mine's relationship, but I have to admit the ending was kinda cute. I guess I'll have to accept that, though it came out of nowhere, they're in love now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, the battle with Esdeath was super cool, I love Tatsumi's evolution, it looks reeeaaally nice

Quick thoughts: as usual I don't care for some aspects of the presentation, but the plot progression and character arcs are really compelling. Good action in this one in a big battle near the end too.

this was a rough one . . . and Night Raid grows smaller yet again.

[Lawrence Caldwell · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's just so good! With the amount of action this series has, I'd think it wouldn't have so many emotional appeals, but it really does. I'm eager to find out how the story will end differently than the anime. Also, small details about characters and the world seem to be slightly more detailed in the manga. It's great!

And the intensity doesn't let up from the previous volume. Lots of emotional and confrontational moments occur, with yet another tragic loss on one side, and a well-deserved loss on the other. Surprisingly good amount of character development despite it leaning heavily on confrontations. And oh, the volume ends in somewhat of a cliffhanger of a fight (which doesn't really matter if you already have the next volume to pick up right after).

Lubbock Died... So very sad, I really liked him. Everyone showed up to come save Tatsumi. He levelled up as well

Before Lubbock died, I'm pretty sure he killed Minister Honests kid, Syura.

Budo and Esdeath are fighting Akame, Leone, Mine and the upgraded Incursio that Tatsumi is using

Arguably the best one yet! So sad, but so intense! I need to know what happens next!

[Angel (huge fan of all things Totoro) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fuck, that was the most gruesome death yet...

[Jenny Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

The stakes ramp up, and more and more battles take place. This is a really good manga and I look forward to the rest of it.

[Kris Ritchie · Rating 3 out of 5]

I feel like I say this with every volume, but I am living for the emotional scenes and get lost in the "action" ones.

But finally Esdeath adn Tatsumi are gonna butt heads!

Muy bien pero a veces se hace pesado.
El comienzo es de 10

[Alex Laybourne · Rating 5 out of 5]

I don't know if I could ever watch the show the same way
The books have a far more detailed story but they are so SAD
What an adventure so far

[Alisha · Rating 5 out of 5]

Things are really starting to pick up in Akame Ga Kill, even more so than before as we start to head towards the end of the series. Everything's ramping up, there's more blood, more action and more character deaths and this volume completely broke my heart by killing one of my favourite characters.

More and more of the volumes feature content not from the anime, so we're starting to get surprised by the twists and turns again, and in this volume there's some familiar content...but it's been changed and switched up and only really bears a passing resemblance. A certain character dies in a completely different way to the anime, and we get some romance in this volume too which wasn't present in the anime that I can remember.

I ship Mine and Tatsumi so bad and they're genuinely so cute together, they provide some romance and lightness to a story that's getting heavier and heavier. Although that could all be about to come crashing down providing the manga follows the anime in regards to what happens to Mine. I'm also shipping Wave and Kurome even though I don't really like Kurome all that much as a character.

I will forever be gutted about Run, I'm not going to lie! And my poor little Lubbock, I actually got choked up! I've been so excited for Syura to die, I actually wrote on my review notes "can we just kill Syura already?" when I was at the beginning of the volume and well....job done. He and his merry band of psychopaths have been terrorising everyone and honestly...they so deserve what's coming to them. Dorthea is up to nothing good, although I'm kind of intrigued by what she's doing.

Esdeath continues to have me completely torn, I kinda like her. She protects her team, she's good to them and there for them and everything, she saved Tatsumi....sort of. And I get her, I get where she's coming from with her feelings for Tatsumi it's hard not to empathise with her on that front, even though she really doesn't get the message, but she's also one of the bad guys. I kinda want her to come over to Night Raid already. But I really don't think she will.

Akame Ga Kill Vol 11 proves that no character is safe, if we hadn't figured that out already as yet another favourite dies. There's more blood, dismemberment and general ick and everythings ramping up as we start to get ready for the finale. I am so not ready. Everytime I read Akame, I'm on edge and so tense waiting to see who's going to die next, and how it's all going to end. The thing is, I genuinely can't predict what's going to happen in this manga, so I'm always surprised by the twists and turns that pop up, except for the few familiarities from the anime...but even then I can't be sure that things are going to end the same way as the anime, or things will go the same way for the characters because things are getting more and more different!

My one gripe? This volume completely broke my heart, but then there was the cuteness that was Mine and Tatsumi and then we where settling in for some seriously badass action courtesy of the ladies of Night Raid and then....boom. End of the volume. Like...it starts to get really good and tense and then it's like "bye. See you in OCTOBER." ....you can't just leave me hanging like that!

Enjoyed the plot especially the battle scenes to the comedic with its descriptive presentation.

[Tatiana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Manga read between April 30th, 2019 and September 10th, 2020.

[Dominique "Eerie" Sobieska · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall Rating: 8/10 - Very good and well paced story, a bit original. Characters are detailed with their flaws. Their backgrounds and how they became are straight to the point and not overbearing. The psyche of numerous characters are very well displayed. Nothing dragging about this series, and the conclusion was damn near perfect. I recommend this series, although it is already popular with a tv show...

Do I recommend it:

Not enough blood splatter to say yes :P
