Anti-heroes gotta be probably one of my favorite characters. While it's not executed well every time and of course there are stories with anti-heroes I don't like, however, this manga is one of the good, perhaps even top tier, ones.
What I just really love about those type of characters, is that they do see themselves as villains, and while they would totally be considered a villain from everyone else (in this manga), they're not. They don't just kill for fun, they only eliminate one kind of people. And the fact that it's even people who aren't from this world and would only do harm by staying, I'd say they're totally heroes.
So far, I agree with everything they do.
Of course, the plot will go into a different direction and Menou will likely realize that killing people just like this is wrong. Or perhaps she won't, but only wants to protect Akari, because of how close they've gotten. Either way, it will be cliché.
I don't mind it that much since it's Yuri/GL, but a little plottwist would be nice (not really a twist in the story itself, just more like going against a cliché, which would be a twist for the readers).
But still, I enjoy reading this so much, that even the ecchi stuff isn't bothering me anymore (well, not as much as in the beginning). The author and I seem to have very similar views on humans, and I love it. Some of the quotes have been really amazing in this volume.
