As the final battle approaches, Imperial and rebel forces take steps to wipe out their deadliest enemies in advance in hopes of minimizing losses on the battlefield。 Among the rebel's targets is Kurome, whose allegiance has still not wavered。 Akame is resolved to give her beloved sister one last chance to turn from the wickedness of the Empire—if she refuses, she will Rest in Pieces!
Aw。 I think they start up the romance out of nowhere but it's in a cute way so I like it。Akame and her sister though。 I'm glad things ended up well。 Aw。 I think they start up the romance out of nowhere but it's in a cute way so I like it。Akame and her sister though。 I'm glad things ended up well。 。。。more

David,
The anime really lost of lot with the content that was not shown。 As things ramp up to a finale, the focus shifts to Kurome, Wave, Akame, and Tatsumi。 The relationship between the sisters was expanded on and built upon。 And from the dialogue, there's a lot of foreshadowing about what's probably going to happen to Tatsumi。 The anime really lost of lot with the content that was not shown。 As things ramp up to a finale, the focus shifts to Kurome, Wave, Akame, and Tatsumi。 The relationship between the sisters was expanded on and built upon。 And from the dialogue, there's a lot of foreshadowing about what's probably going to happen to Tatsumi。 。。。more
Kris Ritchie,
Ok, I will take that maybe I don't fully grasp the extent to which brainwashing plays with your emotions。。。。but I really feel like Kurome's character arc was just sh*t upon。 Other than that。。。I was happy with how this panned out with a surprising lack of major character death in this volume。 2。5 rounded down because f*ck Wave's over-masculine protection arc。 Ok, I will take that maybe I don't fully grasp the extent to which brainwashing plays with your emotions。。。。but I really feel like Kurome's character arc was just sh*t upon。 Other than that。。。I was happy with how this panned out with a surprising lack of major character death in this volume。 2。5 rounded down because f*ck Wave's over-masculine protection arc。 。。。more
TheLesserReader,
I like the manga way more then the anime。
Mike,
Quick thoughts: Really great payoff to some long running plotlines。 As the end nears the layered storytelling (not to mention the tighter focus with the dwindling cast) is really paying off。
Jenny Clark,
Lots of Kurome, Akame and Tatsumi growth here。 The final battle is right around the corner。。。 what will happen???

Chris Petruccio,
For all the talk of "the final battle" this issue did you would hope the endgame came sooner than later。 Falls into a few cliche anime tropes in this one。 I can't read "the power of love/friendship" without a massively cynical eyeroll。 Still enjoying this though。 For all the talk of "the final battle" this issue did you would hope the endgame came sooner than later。 Falls into a few cliche anime tropes in this one。 I can't read "the power of love/friendship" without a massively cynical eyeroll。 Still enjoying this though。 。。。more

This was harsh on the feels, but super sweet! The ending was really unexpected, which I liked a lot。

[English][En español al final]Probably my favourite volume so far。 Loved all the character development, Kurome’s story, Akame getting to share her thoughts with others (even if they are technically her enemies) and Tatsumi’s fight against Wave -I wish it had lasted longer though。 Kurome and Akame’s battle was also really intense。 There was a great plot twist and the author managed to keep the tension going until the very end, which is always a plus。 However, I am not so sure how I feel about Wav [English][En español al final]Probably my favourite volume so far。 Loved all the character development, Kurome’s story, Akame getting to share her thoughts with others (even if they are technically her enemies) and Tatsumi’s fight against Wave -I wish it had lasted longer though。 Kurome and Akame’s battle was also really intense。 There was a great plot twist and the author managed to keep the tension going until the very end, which is always a plus。 However, I am not so sure how I feel about Wave and Kurome。 The whole thing was beautiful and deeply moving, but it also happened all of a sudden, which I understand is part of the plot twist itself but also makes the reader question how true Wave’s feelings can possibly be。 On the other hand, he kind of forced Kurome into her new situation, and although that is going to be extremely helpful for her, it also was not her will at all, so I have mixed feelings about that。An absolutely brilliant and exciting volume overall。 5 stars!……………………………………………………………………………………………………………Mi tomo favorito hasta la fecha。 Me ha encantado la evolución de los personajes y ha sido maravilloso poder conocer la historia de Kurome, así como ver a Akame compartir sus inquietudes con otros (aunque sean sus enemigos), y ya ni hablemos de la emoción que crea la batalla de Tatsumi contra Wave, que ha sido bastante corta para lo que me gustaría。 En cuanto a la de Akame contra Kurome, lo ha tenido todo: muchísima tensión desde el principio hasta el final (tres hurras por el autor) y un gran giro argumental。 Sin embargo, no sé cómo sentirme con respecto a Wave y Kurome: sí, ha sido preciso, pero es innegable que todo ha sucedido con demasiada rapidez y, aunque eso es lo que caracteriza a un giro en la historia, también suscita dudas sobre la veracidad de los sentimientos de Wave。 Por otro lado, también está el hecho de que él ha obligado a Kurome a seguir su nuevo camino; y sí: era lo que más le convenía a la chica, pero seguía sin ser lo que ella quería, así que ¿hasta qué punto es legítimo?Cinco estrellas muy merecidas。 。。。more
Chad Palumbo,
not sure I like the change from the anime。

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 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 。。。more

Eric,
This book was mostly just fighting。 It’s the battle before the final fight。 We finally get to see Akame and Kurome’s big show down。 The outcome was unexpected but I liked it better then any other option。
kerrycat,
oh, Tashiro - that very first page。 so incredibly beautiful and sad。 this series is emotionally exhausting, and I love it so much。
Alisha Tarran,
This is quite the chunky volume, in fact I think it's the chunkiest one yet! It's for good reason too as this volume seems to be focusing on wrapping a couple of plot threads up before we head on in to the final battle。 It's kind of like a pregame warmup! Tatsumi isn't looking so good at the start of the volume, and we're off the beaten path when it comes to what we know from the anime。 Akame herself is off with a kill list to work her way through that ends in a confrontation with Wave。 Wave him This is quite the chunky volume, in fact I think it's the chunkiest one yet!

The tension is high, and we speed through the volume towards an equally speedy battle, the pace is brilliant for such a chunky volume! It was nice to have the volume end on an oddly heartwarming note though, considering things are going to get bloody and heartbreaking next volume when the final battle commences。 This volume is like a nice little chance to breath before the inevitable blood and destruction of the next volume, relish it while you can! 。。。more
Waraji Sama,
I would have rated this volume at 4 stars had it not been for the last chapter。 It was so good, and wildly different from the anime。 I'm still waiting to see how the series ends with just two volumes left to read, but up to this point I think I'm enjoying the manga more than the anime。 I would have rated this volume at 4 stars had it not been for the last chapter。 It was so good, and wildly different from the anime。 I'm still waiting to see how the series ends with just two volumes left to read, but up to this point I think I'm enjoying the manga more than the anime。 。。。more
