There ia always a loss whatever times of trying not to lose anything ....
It 's really amazing this once , although death got to 2 souls that suddenly disappeared ..
" Run past me from out of nowhere ! I 'll be watching over you ... Tatsumi ... "
' I am sorry ... Even in the end , I only did things that would get me smacked ... ' ♥
Although it may be my last journey with this manga , but I awfully wish that I can complete its volumes ... :'(

As a number of threats line up to take pieces of our heroes...everything gets a bit more serious.
Just the very given..that when two Teigu holders face off against each other..only one can live..kind of gives you an idea there's a high body count.
Plus torture..face peeling etc..will change the whole manga.

Bulat :3
October 16, 2016
This book starts with all the characters trying to get over the death of Sheele. She was killed very gruesomely at the end of volume 2. I won't tell you the details, but it was gruesome. The Capital starts murdering high political leaders who are against the Capital, and blames Night Raid for the murders. After, half of Night Raid is deployed to protect two different political figures who may be targeted next. Tatsumi's and Bulat's official gets targeted, and it becomes a fight to the death.
As with the other books in the series, the artwork is traditional manga style. It is black and white, with panels and some dialogue. The pictures help tell the story.
Tatsumi's relationship with Bulat really develops in this book. They really connect as individuals working together. They become good friends and allies. The author spends time developing this relationship in this volume, because one of them dies. It makes the reader even more sad.
If you have read the first two, you HAVE to read this volume. You can't stop reading a series in the middle. Anyone who has read the first two should be hooked by now!

This is definitely a feminist shounen manga; I'm very impressed. The story continues heating up, all though it could use a little more internal complexity. However, the setup holds promise for internal politics and betrayal as we edge toward war.
It's also queer-friendly, although I'm a little uncertain about some of the aspects of that. After establishing the gay character, and making fun of gay stereotypes by making him act that way IN ORDER to disguise himself, I was really impressed. But in this volume...

Ok, here what's happening. Tatsumi is the newbie of the story, but he has already lost four great friends in a really short time and remains full of joy and optimism about the future, which is kind of sweet and annoying at the same time because life in the capital is still trashy, so, in order to overthrow the system and build a better one, it's been established there are many other incredible enemies to defeat, which also means there are more friends to say goodbye, and I can only be ready to be broken once and again.

Man, another heart breaking loss and some damn good battles. I see why my friend group regards this one so highly and I’m starting to absolutely love it. It’s fun too that’ it’s labeled horror. It feels kinda like demon slayer in a way which is pretty fun too. I’m curious with how Akame will grow and react to the ending of this volume in the next, so count me in for more!

Enter General Esdeath, the bloodthirsty badass of the empire. Here we get some character bonding as a result of the previous tragedy, and a "levelling-up" of the antagonists that the Night Raid go against, and the cost that comes with it.

Damn, I'd forgotten that character died so early... It breaks my heart, I loved him so much :(

[English]
[En español al final]
Yes, you could totally see that coming, especially since they announced it at the very beginning of the battle. Yes, it still hurt me deep inside.
Am I the only one who is really annoyed by Tatsumi’s apparently great physical strength? He can fight against Teigu users without having a Teigu himself and he still leaves the battlefield perfectly unwounded. Oh, and here’s that: he is only a young boy fighting against three experienced soldiers. I get the whole ‘he is the main character so he is obviously not dying nor getting severely injured’ thing, but still!
The whole battle was absolutely breathtaking, not to mention Braht’s fight in the final part and his dialogue with the man who seems to be his old master. I particularly enjoyed Tatsumi getting his Teigu and the concept of Braht’s eyes closing a bit more in each pannel.
Now coming back to the start of the volume, I would like to highlight that some of the scenes where Esdese gives some tips on how to torture prisoners in a more painful way were quite impressive. I also particularly enjoyed the very first panels since we got to see Akame allowing herself to be emotional -it was about time to break that ‘distant, cold character’ stereotype.
Finally, I need to stress how glorious that ending was -as epic as the one in volume 2, probably even more. I found myself craving for more!
…………………………………………………………………………………………..
Sí, ya se veía venir lo que ha pasado (además es que, literalmente, lo anuncian al comienzo del combate aunque no se diga quién sobrevivirá), pero me ha dolido de todas formas.
Tatsumi es capaz de hacer frente a usuarios con Teigu SIN tener él una. Y eso me chirría mucho. Ya se había visto en los dos volúmenes anteriores, pero en éste me ha molestado especialmente. ¿Los tres soldados más fuertes del enemigo están armados con unos objetos mágicos muy potentes… y tú, que estás en inferioridad numérica y que solo cuentas con tu cuerpo, eres capaz de enfrentarte a ellos y no sufrir apenas daños? Entiendo que sea el protagonista, pero oye, no vendría mal que sufriese un poco más en combate para hacerlo todo más realista.
Muy emocionante la batalla (sobre todo, la parte final en la que lucha Braht e intercambia palabras con el hombre al que se ve que ya conocía, ¿su antiguo maestro, creo?), también el momento en el que Tatsumi recibe la Teigu y mención honorífica a las viñetas de los ojos de Braht cerrándose. Insuperable. Me ha parecido muy original en cuanto a dibujo.
Volviendo al principio del tomo, asombrosas las escenas de Esdese dando consejos para torturar más dolorosamente a los enemigos del Imperio. Me gusta bastante que Akame se haya permitido mostrarse vulnerable, porque se la pinta como muy fría y distante en general.
¿Y ese final? Vaya desenlace de oro se han marcado entre este tomo y el anterior. Esto sí que es dejar a quien lee con las ganas y lo demás son tonterías.

Este tomo ha estado tan impactante que no he podido dejar de hacer la reseña a pesar de la hora. Había dejado un poco Akame ga KILL! después de que el volumen 2, a pesar de tener muchas cosas pasando, no me dejará tan atrapado como esperaba, pero esté valió totalmente la pena.
La historia sigue avanzando, y aunque empieza algo lenta en el primer capítulo (En donde están lidiando un poco con los sentimientos dejados en el anterior volumen), desde el segundo capitulo, y especialmente los 3 últimos, la historia de vuelve tremendamente adictiva.
Como dije antes, al principio no conecté mucho, pero el tomo fue en subida. Cada vez más entretenido según como pasaban las páginas. Esdeath brilla como la antagonista más importante de la historia y con respecto a los demás antagonistas, la historia solo parece ponerse mejor. Aunque siento que a veces las peleas se solucionan muy rápido (De tres antagonistas en escena, las muertes de dos fueron muy rápidas), esto es quizás porque al haber tantos antagonistas y por tener que solucionar ciertas cosas para el bien del avance de la trama, algunos se van eliminando tan rápido.
A pesar de eso la historia desarrolla muy buenos momentos de acción y drama en partes iguales. Las historias de fondo de algunos personajes se muestran, aunque estas solo sean por razones de utilidad a la trama. Las escenas de acción, que siempre han sido mi talón de Aquiles cuando leo mangas, se sintieron muy fluidas, cosa que no suele pasar. El arte de la obra me sigue pareciendo bueno.
En general, el volumen 3 de Akame ga KILL! pavimenta lo que se había estado construyendo en los anteriores, con una historia mucho más solida y con su protagonista: Tatsumi, al fin con las propiedades para volverse el héroe de la historia en toda regla.

Takahiro | Tetsuya Tashiro |Red eyes sword tome 3 sur 15|192 pages|Kurokawa |3.98 /5 (22 notes !!)
C’est vraiment l’allégorie de la lutte des classes !! Et pas du point de vue des plus riches !! On les aperçoit en train de torturer à mort le « bétail » que représente les pauvres gens…
« J’ai perdu une camarade chère à mes yeux !! Comment veux-tu que je m’habitue à une douleur pareille ? »
« Esdeath (…) est de retour à la capitale (…) il paraît qu’elle est en train d’apprendre aux tortionnaires l ‘art de la « vrai » torture »
La scène du bateau est culte !! ; )
Je continue, me voilà addict. C’est ma série du moment genre Shonen mais hyper mature et qui casse tout les codes.
Un seul utilisateur d’arme impérial s’en sortira vivant sur 4. Le personnage principal, sans doute ?;)…
« Pour cette fois… J’ai bien le droit de pleurer, hein ? Mec… Non…Beau gosse OAAAAAAH !! »
Takahiro n’hésite pas à sacrifier certains de ses personnages !
J’aime beaucoup.
Cela dit on perd « l’effet de surprise » de la nouveauté. Même si d’autres choses compensant…
Bonnes Lectures ! ++

With the return of Esdeath life can only become more difficult for Night Raid after losing one ally in the last volume and now assassinations of good people are being carried out in Night Raid's name. Now the group must split up to protect any more opponents to the Prime Minister from being murdered by whoever dared to do them.
I will be honest with you that this is not a happy series with entitled people torturing, murdering, and doing whatever they like to those less fortunate then themselves and even with skilled assassins Night Raid are effectively human so casualties occur when an evil empire would turn against them. Of course eventually the heroes will probably win but if hero deaths are a deciding factor in your reading list then please keep that in mind.
My favorite part would have to be the surprise that Esdeath wants to find love and the awkward exchange from the Prime Minister and Emperor had me chuckling. :)

I still enjoy this series but I feel like the same themes are on rinse and repeat. Yes, I know they're assassins so they're always flirting with death but I don't feel much is being done to get me more invested into night raid.
Yes, we get small backstories and explanations of the teigu here and there but I'd love to see some better character development. After three volumes I find myself liking Tatsumi less and less. Not that he is a bad character I just find him boring. He behaves the same all the time.
I like the longtime members of night raid more than him. However, the main themes continues to be here is a mission, strong enemy, fight ensues, one of the main character dies....repeat. Debating jumping off here and picking up a new series unless someone can convince me it gets better.

The thing I have the hardest time with in shonen is interpreting fight scenes. I don't feel like I've gotten any better at it in the few years I've been more actively reading manga, either. But I did enjoy the battle on the ship with the three bad guys and Big Bro and the kid (I'm terrible at remembering names). The plot device that one teigu (sp?) wielder has to die in a battle really puts the pressure on, doesn't it?
June 1, 2017
Well-written with added depth--in my opinion--over the previous volumes. Not as much sheer madness and purely insane characters. The villains motive is basic, but all the more human real for all that: Power. Personal power. The character bits both flashback and mid-fight with Butal, Tatsumi, Akame, etc. were all well-handled here, and it's that as much if not more than the battles that make the volume for me.
June 19, 2019
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.

With Schere's death, Night Raid mourns her quietly and by remembering the little things. In doing so, Tatsumi vows to never die to Akame so she may never feel such pain again. Esdese, the capitol's strongest, returns after a genocidal conquest of the Northern Tribes with a plan to destroy the Night Raid by framing the assassins for multiple political murders.
January 27, 2021
Another fun issue that finds Tatsumi taking on the Three Beasts after the tragic loss of Sheele. Takahiro keeps the action coming while also hinting at a darker future, as Sheele looks not be the only death in this series. His art is equally excellent and not quite as cartoony as the series gets more serious. One of the better and more violent of the mangas on the stands right now.

Again, action packed not a moment of dullness. The humor is gone at this point, and we are learning more about everyone's back story. I think Kurome is going to be terrifying. Akame is, but she's also able to turn it off. We shall see!

Love how they showed that Akame isn't a heartless assassin. The scene with Tatsumi and Akame in the kitchen was nice to see.
2 Volumes in and 2 characters have died... How could they kill off big bro. I wasn't ready for this.
