The threat of new more lethal Danger Beasts brings Esdeath and Tatsuma together sort of.

Background of Esdeath's childhood is pretty much expected...especially with her present love of torture.

[Jared · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume starts with new danger beasts roaming around the Capital killing citizens. After hearing this, Tatsumi and the rest of Night Raid decide to help the Capital because they don't want more people to die. Tatsumi and Lubbo patrol the mountains late at night. Tatsumi leaves Lubbo and goes to the top of the mountain where he encounters Esdeath. Esdeath already has a crush on Tatsumi from their last meeting. At this point, an unfamiliar figure approaches both of them. This unsuspecting figure uses the power of his tiagu to teleport them to an uninhabited island off the coast of the Capital. Esdeath views this as a date.

The artwork is typical of Japanese manga style with black and white panels and dramatic movement.

The central conflict of this volume is the new danger that has come up with the beasts against everyone. The other conflict is Tatsumi trying to get away from Esdeath and back off the island. Both conflicts get resolved at the end of this volume. You have to read this one, if you have read the others.

The "romance" between Esdeath & Tatsumi is my favorite. I really want to see Najenda fight already ); I also loved the corpse party bonus scene!!!!

[Jenny Clark · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was another good volume, with lots of new plot elements introduced as well as some pasts revealed. I do like the bonus Joker Wheel mangas at the end, they are pretty funny.

So this volume has me divided, because for one this is setting up a big raid and you can tell it’s a stepping stone towards that. But also, I enjoyed learned about Esdeath and how she’s so overpowered. It really gave more perspective on her. Another thing was we got to see how her powers work and where they came from and that’s to be expected given how ungodly powerful she is. One other thing is that the new danger beasts were pretty fun, especially the giant one. I’m holding out to see how this goes and I’ve heard the story only continues to get bigger and better from here.

I'm not a huge fan of this volume. Esdeath falling for Tatsumi is too much. We didn't need the big villain to fall for Tatsumi, I get it, he's the main character, but COME ON. Not every woman has to fall for the male MC.

Lubbock needs to back off!!! Najenda is mine and always will be ❤️

I loved the chapter where Tatsumi and Esdeath are stranded on the the island. Their complicated relationship really enriches the story overall. And in general I continue to appreciate the time and attention given to character development in this series.

[Doc · Rating 5 out of 5]

I like how they give us background on the characters relating in tales told from one person to another and letting us live the experience through a visual representation. In this volume we get a glimpse of how Lubbock met Najenda, we get a telling of how Esdeath came to possess the strength she does, and we even get to meet Bols's family showing some of the Jaegers although dangerous are not all villains. However from the shadows a new threat has emerged in the Minister's son who is very cruel indeed so only time will tell what will become of him and his teleporting Teigu.

In the mean time with the new humanoid danger beasts on the loose both Night Raid and the Jaegers are handling the situation but eventually war will erupt and Night Raid has a plan to capitalize on it even if some sacrifices must be made.

My fave part of the book just might be Tatsumi being so valient declaring the sooner the danger beasts are defeated the more lives that will be saved...just to find out his fly was open the whole time and the lively bunch of Night Raid reacted in their own humorous ways. :)

[Scott Lee · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found the volume interesting. Takahiro is clearly attempting to make some individual members of the Jaegers not justhumanized villains but legitimately good people who have chosen to support the empire. The frustration is that there is nothing we've been shown about the empire or its leadership under the minister that makes it believable that characters who are as personally good as some of the Jaegers have been made to be would serve such an entity. Ah well, perhaps I ask too much complexity. At the level of individual character development and interaction, and the action scenes the team continues to excel.

[Mike · Rating 4 out of 5]

General series thoughts: Mixed bag to the max. I find the overall conflict, including some of the harsh realities of the battles, extremely compelling. But I do feel the series goes too far in the graphic nature of some things that boil down to being there simply to show someone's a bad guy. The art is striking in parts and hard to follow in others. Attached to the characters and completely hooked into reading to see where it all goes, but on the other hand it is a rough read.

[Kris Ritchie · Rating 3 out of 5]

While I found some of the action a little harder to follow in this volume (some of these armored TEigus and danger beats look the same to me...) I thought the story was great. More of a 3.5, but rounded down because of the art.

[Damian Johnson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Felt kind of slow. The Esdeath + Tatsumi reunion was kind of fun. I didn't feel as though much happened during this volume.

The fun quick crush that Chelsea developed for Tatsumi is kind of interesting though.

[E.S. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oooooh how the turn tables.

The next volume is about to be craaazaaay. It makes me feel so conflicted because I really like Bols and Wave....

[Dominique "Eerie" Sobieska · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tatsumi realizes that he cannot change Esdese's convictions. Jagers and Night Raid clash.

[gabi · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was really cool to learn more about Esdeath. Something big is about to happen...

Things are getting set up for a confrontation between the Jaegars and Night Raid. Tatsumi gets another "date" with Esdeath, where we get to see some backstory for Esdeath.

[Raheis · Rating 5 out of 5]

This manga was really amazing.

[Andy Febrico Bintoro · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interesting, a clash of those who seek the destruction of the empire vs those who defend the empire

[David Doel · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Tatsumi / Esdeath connection was cute at first, but it's getting on my nerves. Aside from that, this volume was similar to the earlier ones.

[Tatiana · Rating 4 out of 5]

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

I will say it again, I still don’t like the Esdeath ship subplot.


Still a fun one though.

[Aaron Meyer · Rating 5 out of 5]

This shall forever be known to me as the honeymoon issue hahah. No matter how sweet Esdeath can be with Tatsumi she is totally deep down a twisted human being.

[Emil Dahlberg · Rating 4 out of 5]

i love and hate esdeath

[CharlyyGentlePhoenix · Rating 5 out of 5]

Yo! Comment ça va?!...

Esdeath a fait de Tatsumi son petit chien. Mais celui-ci joue en réalité pour le camp adverse. le repaire des « gentils » a été compromis et ceux-ci ont dû bouger.

Plus encore que Kurome, c'est Esdeath qui incarne le personnage gros bill.

Tatsumi et Esdeath se retrouvent dans une sorte de jungle où ils doivent survivre.

On peut voir le passé de « la cheffe des méchants » « nous avons perdu car nous étions plus faibles » dernières paroles de son paternel développant ainsi une peur maladive de la faiblesse et une obsession pour la puissance.

Je ne sais pas trop comment ne pas traiter de manichéiste ce manga. Tout est bien à sa place. Gentils et méchants. Cela dit, ça a le mérite de divertir tranquillement sans casser les codes.

Pour le reste… No spoil !

Mention bien pour les dessins notamment ceux des personnages féminins.

C'est l'histoire d'une bande de mercenaires le « Night Raid » qui lutte contre un gouvernement corrompu à tout point de vue.

« Ils s'apprêtent à mener le combat final »

Phoenix en solo.

Akame ga Kill è uno di quei manga di cui ti innamori a primo impatto. I personaggi sono affascinanti con storie strappalacrime ma con un fantastico tono sarcastico di sottofondo.

La mia speranza resta questa: vi prego non voglio l'harem, vi prego...
