This is the prequel to Akame ga KILL！ As I have not read the original series yet， I'm not yet aware of any potential spoilers。The Empire seeks to maintain it's control over its citizens by creating super elite assassin squads to put out any sparks of dissension before it can set the Empire on fire。 To do this， they set children loose in an extremely dangerous forest and only those that survive get to become assassins。 The top 7 get their own special training which is based on emotional manipulat This is the prequel to Akame ga KILL！ As I have not read the original series yet， I'm not yet aware of any potential spoilers。The Empire seeks to maintain it's control over its citizens by creating super elite assassin squads to put out any sparks of dissension before it can set the Empire on fire。 To do this， they set children loose in an extremely dangerous forest and only those that survive get to become assassins。 The top 7 get their own special training which is based on emotional manipulation while the rest get doped and are kept under control via drugs。 It's a dark horror story about children learning to murder people。。。yay。 So yes， there will be some gore。 The art is。。。satisfactory， not the best， but not horrible。 It's nice too look at but doesn't keep you from understanding what's going on。 The pacing of the story has some really good moments like going from page 33 to 34/35。 Very good job。 Overall， not the best opener， but not the worst， so curiosity and OCD will compel me to continue reading。This series has 10 volumes。 。。。more

I was a bit hesitant to read the prequel as I haven't actually started the main manga series as of yet。 I have however seen the anime。 If I hadn't done so， I don't expect I would've enjoyed this manga nearly as much as I did。I've just got to mention how much I love being in this world。 I was however a little worried to begin with as there was no sign of Kurome， but if you are waiting for her appearance you don't have to wait too long。 I was and still am a little bit worried about keeping canon t I was a bit hesitant to read the prequel as I haven't actually started the main manga series as of yet。 I have however seen the anime。 If I hadn't done so， I don't expect I would've enjoyed this manga nearly as much as I did。I've just got to mention how much I love being in this world。 I was however a little worried to begin with as there was no sign of Kurome， but if you are waiting for her appearance you don't have to wait too long。 I was and still am a little bit worried about keeping canon to the original story， all it takes is one little mistake for me to be completely pulled out of the story。 I'm especially worried with the twist that comes at the very end of this volume。 But I cannot wait to start reading the rest of the series。 I'm more than happy to put the original series on hold until after I'm finished with this series。 The characters are so incredibly likeable and generally enjoyable and I love the small relationships between each of them。 I also appreciate how Akame， is still Akame。 She's not a completely different character as she is in the original， but she is also written as younger and more innocent。 Which I totally appreciate。There were a few panels that I got a little confused by but I'm just putting that down to my recent introduction to manga， more of a me problem than a book problem。Anyway， I would totally recommend this series， but not as an introduction to the world possibly。 。。。more

This one is a little more gory than the original， plys it touches on more sad things， like brain washing and child druging。 Overall， this is a really good series that has sone good psychological points。 I do like how similar the art is， so that it's easy to see Akame and Chelsea and Kurome and know thats who they are， while being subtly different since they are different artists。 This one is a little more gory than the original， plys it touches on more sad things， like brain washing and child druging。 Overall， this is a really good series that has sone good psychological points。 I do like how similar the art is， so that it's easy to see Akame and Chelsea and Kurome and know thats who they are， while being subtly different since they are different artists。 。。。more

This did nothing for me， the characters were dull。 The interesting set up they did at the beginning was quickly killed off。 Did we really need that many close ups of boobs？ They're big， defy the laws of gravity and are focused on way to much in this。 One guy I swear is only in the story to be a perv， he says something along the lines as you've developed nicely it wasn't phrased as nice as that。 I don't mind fan service， I get a lot of people like it heck sometimes I can appreciate it to but my p This did nothing for me， the characters were dull。 The interesting set up they did at the beginning was quickly killed off。 Did we really need that many close ups of boobs？ They're big， defy the laws of gravity and are focused on way to much in this。 One guy I swear is only in the story to be a perv， he says something along the lines as you've developed nicely it wasn't phrased as nice as that。 I don't mind fan service， I get a lot of people like it heck sometimes I can appreciate it to but my problem is when they were refer to them as children then it bothers me。 There is a mad scientist， why is he mad。。。。 he just is。 I don't reason reasons behind a lot of stuff to enjoy it but when you have cardboard cut out charters I need something to engage me， they tried pushing in a sibling thing but that didn't do anything for me either oh look ones strong and ones weak， yay？ That hasn't been done before， I know this is a prequel to the main series but honestly after reading this I definitely won't be picking it up。 。。。more

First time reading this series and I didn't realise it was a prequel。 But it doesn't leave the reader confused or rely on previously known information so it's easy to delve into。 I liked it， I'm keen to read more。 The art and dialogue flows well。 It has dark themes but doesn't go too deeply into the psychological effects， so it's a high violence romp mainly。 There's hints at future implications for when the characters realise how twisted their world is， but it's staying surface level atm。 Someti First time reading this series and I didn't realise it was a prequel。 But it doesn't leave the reader confused or rely on previously known information so it's easy to delve into。 I liked it， I'm keen to read more。 The art and dialogue flows well。 It has dark themes but doesn't go too deeply into the psychological effects， so it's a high violence romp mainly。 There's hints at future implications for when the characters realise how twisted their world is， but it's staying surface level atm。 Sometimes it was too sexualised for the children characters， one short scene in particular （an erotic portrayal， not a specific act）。 Which is unfortunately a gross staple of manga。 That aside it was a pretty engrossing read in a complicated world。 Interested in the next books。 。。。more

This review is for the series up through vol 6。Sadly -- it isn't nearly as interesting as the original。 There are some moments where we see Akame becoming the person she is in the original series， but the SLOG to get there。。。 I am done。 I am not even going to bother with the rest。 I find myself wholly uninvested in the characters （even Akame and Kurome at times） and by vol 6 was reading it because I don't like to abandon things and just to add it to my list of things read。 Alas， by the end of vo This review is for the series up through vol 6。Sadly -- it isn't nearly as interesting as the original。 There are some moments where we see Akame becoming the person she is in the original series， but the SLOG to get there。。。 I am done。 I am not even going to bother with the rest。 I find myself wholly uninvested in the characters （even Akame and Kurome at times） and by vol 6 was reading it because I don't like to abandon things and just to add it to my list of things read。 Alas， by the end of vol。 6 I'm not going to bother。Will you have a different reaction？ It is entirely possible， some people rather like the series。 But my advice would be to get a volume or two from a library or a friend before investing heavily in it。 If you haven't read Akame ga Kill because you think you should read ZERO first。。。 don't wait， pick up the original and you should have a good time。If you still want to read ZERO， well， that's up to you。 With so many things like this it is all subjective anyway。 For me -- not worth the price of admission or the time to read it。 As always， YMMV。 。。。more

La verdad es que lo que he leído， me ha gustado。 Takahiro define bien sus personajes， te hace sentir como si los conocieras desde siempre。 Tiene acción mezclada con drama y humor。 Como aspectos negativos， hay algún diálogo clave， por así decirlo， que es un poco de besugos y yo quitaría el fan service que siempre me hace restar puntos a una buena trama， pero en fin… como no es exagerado y la trama pinta bien， lo paso por alto。El dibujo me gusta， tiene dinamismo y es bonito de ver。 Si bien no es e La verdad es que lo que he leído， me ha gustado。 Takahiro define bien sus personajes， te hace sentir como si los conocieras desde siempre。 Tiene acción mezclada con drama y humor。 Como aspectos negativos， hay algún diálogo clave， por así decirlo， que es un poco de besugos y yo quitaría el fan service que siempre me hace restar puntos a una buena trama， pero en fin… como no es exagerado y la trama pinta bien， lo paso por alto。El dibujo me gusta， tiene dinamismo y es bonito de ver。 Si bien no es el mejor que me he encontrado， desde luego cumple mis expectativas。Reseña completa: https://armasdetinta。wordpress。com/20。。。 。。。more

Prequel di Akame ga kill incentrato sull'infanzia delle sorelle Akame e Kurome quando erano ancora entrambe assassine al servizio dell'impero。La storia è sostanzialmente uguale a quella della serie madre， nel bene e nel male， ugualmente incentrata su un gruppo di assassini capaci， ma di cui Akame è chiaramente e da subito la migliore， e mischia momenti di estrema violenza e crudeltà a momenti comici e lievi quasi fuori posto in alcune situazioni， senza contare che continua a presentare praticame Prequel di Akame ga kill incentrato sull'infanzia delle sorelle Akame e Kurome quando erano ancora entrambe assassine al servizio dell'impero。La storia è sostanzialmente uguale a quella della serie madre， nel bene e nel male， ugualmente incentrata su un gruppo di assassini capaci， ma di cui Akame è chiaramente e da subito la migliore， e mischia momenti di estrema violenza e crudeltà a momenti comici e lievi quasi fuori posto in alcune situazioni， senza contare che continua a presentare praticamente ogni singolo villain， tranne ovviamente i bambini costretti a diventare soldati dell'impero， come dei completi sociopatici senza alcuna sfumatura o potenziale di redenzione， cosa che non rende la lettura esattamente complessa o stimolante。。。ma è estremamente interessante vedere cosa ha portato Kurome a trasformarsi nella persona che vediamo nella serie e non è da poco la possibilità di intravedere una Akame non ancora talmente ridicolmente forte da poter sopravvivere a qualunque scontro senza troppe preoccupazioni。。。a differenza di letteralmente ogni altro personaggio della serie。。。In definitiva un'ottima opera per i fan della serie， che potranno finalmente ottenere risposte ad alcuni enigmi mai risolti nella serie madre， ma troppo simile all'originale per interessare chi non ha ammirato Akame ga KILL！。 。。。more

Okay unlike the original series the prequel series for Akame ga Kill is rated Mature which if you are unaware of the rating system means absolutely no one under 18 should be reading this title which might have to do with violence common in the original series as well as occasional strong language， use of drugs to augment Capital assassins， and torture of children as they are trained。 The book starts peaceful enough as Akame and her friend Tsukushi are helping a traveling performing troupe with t Okay unlike the original series the prequel series for Akame ga Kill is rated Mature which if you are unaware of the rating system means absolutely no one under 18 should be reading this title which might have to do with violence common in the original series as well as occasional strong language， use of drugs to augment Capital assassins， and torture of children as they are trained。 The book starts peaceful enough as Akame and her friend Tsukushi are helping a traveling performing troupe with their shows until Bandits try to hold the group up and the two of them show the troupe how skilled they truly are。 Trust is exchanged and betrayed as lines are drawn and truth once again is revealed in a time before Akame ever joined the assassin group of Night Raid。We get to see Akame at a young age as over 100 children are placed in a trial to cull the weakest among them so the children can become powerful assassins for the Capital now that rebels and trouble makers are coming out of the woodworks。 However training is not easy and only the elite make it into a special unit while the rest are throne into a different style of upgrading separating Akame from her beloved sister。 Only time can tell what will happen as corruption is discovered and choices must be made。My favorite part would probably have to be when Martha （from the Eatery Akame visits） decides she needs something more girly since she lacks femininity even though it leads to some problems down the line which you will discover if you read this volume for yourself。 :） 。。。more

I'm a huge fan of Akame ga Kill， but after finishing this book I think I may just stick with the main series。Not only is this not written by the same writer nor drawn by the same artist， the characters are less likeable， the story darker， and the overall feel less "fun"。The story deals with the back story of Akame and her younger sister Kurome who place in different assassination squads based on their skills and the whim of their overseer。 While working for the Empire and wielding Shingu （knocko I'm a huge fan of Akame ga Kill， but after finishing this book I think I may just stick with the main series。Not only is this not written by the same writer nor drawn by the same artist， the characters are less likeable， the story darker， and the overall feel less "fun"。The story deals with the back story of Akame and her younger sister Kurome who place in different assassination squads based on their skills and the whim of their overseer。 While working for the Empire and wielding Shingu （knockoffs of the Teigus in the main series）， Akame （ranked seventh） places in the elite squad while Kurome （ranked eighth） places in the lesser squad and uses performance enhancing drugs to compete against her older sister。The overall story didn't do anything for me but the book does finish by introducing another character in the main series and a battle that has only been hinted at。 I will pick up the next volume to see if the story improves but I doubt I'll stick around unless it's a relatively short prequel。 。。。more

Not as good as Akame ga Kill， and definitely more explicit。 I still enjoyed it though。 I'll be picking up the next installment when it's released。 Not as good as Akame ga Kill， and definitely more explicit。 I still enjoyed it though。 I'll be picking up the next installment when it's released。 。。。more

I read this manga in order to decide whether or not we need to add this to our collection。 In just a candid review， near the end of the book there is a part where one of the assassins is too injured to ever fight again。 I saw it coming where she was going to be killed （that I figured was going to happen）; however， the man in charge （daddy as he's called） comes in and tells her to rest well and that he's sending her away happily。 She of course is making these ah。 ah。 ah。 noises - you know she is I read this manga in order to decide whether or not we need to add this to our collection。 In just a candid review， near the end of the book there is a part where one of the assassins is too injured to ever fight again。 I saw it coming where she was going to be killed （that I figured was going to happen）; however， the man in charge （daddy as he's called） comes in and tells her to rest well and that he's sending her away happily。 She of course is making these ah。 ah。 ah。 noises - you know she is probably dying。 The next page has her laying there dead with marks on her face and body and then moisture between her legs。 It is blatantly obvious that she was "raped" and then killed。 So， nope - will not be adding this to my teen collection。 The manga did flow and was a decent work for this genre - it actually was easier to follow than most of the manga that I've read - but it is rated M for a reason。 The rest of the Akame ga Kill！ series have been rated OT - older teen。 I am reviewing one of those later today as well。 。。。more
