There's action from the start as we pick up where the last volume ended, but who's going to die this time? It being an Akame volume, I know probably everyone will...that and you know...I've read Akame Ga Kill!

Baby Esdeath makes an appearance and I can't even with that glimpse of her! It was interesting to get a little bit more of her life story, and it was a nice touch overall as I'm forever curious about her. Surprisingly, Mera is the source of Akame's doubt this volume, regarding the Empire as she fills in Akame and Kurome as to what it's really like and what's really going on. I didn't see that coming. Like I know Chelsea is on her team so she can't be that bad or the bad guy or whatever but she's still pretty shady and has a villain vibe going on!

Mera opens Akame's eyes, or tries to and we finally get to see what the turning point was for Akame...or the start of the turning point was anyway. She sees what the Empire has done to her sister as well as to the people and her thoughts wrestle with it all. We ultimately know what she'll choose but it's been interesting to see Akame's life before the original series, and how dedicated she was and her mindset throughout the whole thing and the struggle she went through. It's also been interesting to see the dark side of the Empire more.

We get some nice character development too, or get to see more of how she came to develop in to the Akame we know as she's told to be calmer and so on. But we know what she ultimately ends up doing. Blanks are being filled in more and more and you're starting to get a fuller picture! There's some familiar Rakshasas faces too!

I'm kind of oddly intrigued by Mera, she seems to be about to become Akames teacher/mentor, making her a better and stronger assassin but she's so creepy. This volume is definitely the turning point in the series, as Akames doubts grow and she sees evidence and so on and scratches beneath the surface, whether willingly or not. No-one dies in this volume shockingly enough, but we all know what happens to everyone so it's just a matter of time, and I can't decide if that's better or worse than not knowing. Like in the main series I'm always on edge and worried who they'll kill if anyone. In this one I'm tense waiting to see when the characters die.

I'm intrigued to see how everything with Akame is going to play out in the next volume. Is she going to rebel straight away? Or is she going to go through with the escape and then switch sides later after something else happens...I can't tell!

Tengo sentimientos encontrados con este tomo. Por un lado, he disfrutado mucho por las numerosas escenas de batalla, por los nuevos descubrimientos de Akame y por ese lado tan pasional de Merraid que le da otro toque a la historia. Por el otro lado, me he sentido un poco decepcionada al ver como este tomo se parece un poco a los tomos 3 y 4 en cuanto al desarrollo del tomo.

Me ha gustado por que Akame avanza como personaje, pero el desenlace de los acontecimientos se asemeja a dos tomos anteriores.

De todas formas, he agradecido que en este tomo se haya hablando un poco más sobre Merraid, quien me parece un personaje muy poderoso, del mismo calibre que Esdeath. Al igual que ella, también conocemos otros personajes secundarios, de dudosa procedencia, que me han parecido muy interesantes por sus capacidades.

En definitiva, me ha gustado el tomo porque Akame abre horizontes y ve más allá de lo que le dicen, y porque se conocen más personajes secundarios muy poderosos. En rasgos generales, algo que me fascina de ésta historia es el gran abanico de personajes que tiene y como sus historias se van entrelazando poco a poco.

Lo recomiendo a pesar de ser un tomo más centrado en los descubrimientos que hace Akame, porque sigue siendo un tomo que te engancha desde el principio y que te deja con la palabra en la boca al final.

not gonna lie this was given as a gift but they picked up the prequel to akame ga kill, so I decided to read it anyway without having a clue as to whats going on but I will say that it was action jammed which was great but the reason I gave it 3 stars is because like was the fan service that necessary 💔 I dont know if it is but it feels like it was quite excessive but still it was a really fun manga and I recommend to action fans and also maybe fans of action and yuri

"What if I really did lose Kurome?"

prequel series are so hard - knowing what is to come - but this one is especially heartbreaking.

[Jenny Clark]

As with the last two, very heavy on adult situations and this one is more of psychological, with Mera trying to convince Akame to join her side. I enjoyed seeing Esdeath and Mera's past as well.

Bien trop de fan service inutile. Des scènes sans intérêt toutes les 3 pages.

Poor Akame.
Pretty slow in this volume since everyone is basically just waiting but honestly I didn't expect molester chick to be the one to enlighten Akame on the empire.

[Livia Bergstrand]

And so the predatory lesbianism goes on.

This is the point where Akame ga Kill! Zero peaked. This manga has been awesome so far.

I really enjoyed the original series, but it’s got nothing on Zero

[Christa Blake]

Doors as escape, as longing, as the act of writing itself. Harrow's prose is unashamedly lush and I love her for it.

there’s so many great elements about this volume but the perverted villain is not one of them!
