I'm not sure what's going to happen, but I don't want Seiryuu to die (even though she very well might). It would be just one more tragic victim of the war. CAUSED by the war, she isn't evil or malicious by nature.
What I'm happy about is that there now is a realistic chance that Esdese will finally learn the truth (about Tatsumi being Night Raid). That gives me hope that the storyline will finally substantially advance from the pure butchery of the last 10 chapters. |

True, she can be somewhat justified when she kills NR members considering her job is: Protect and serve under General Edese who protects and servers under the Prime minister. And NR's goal is basically kill both of those people. But again, it's not like she's a victim, she also deserves a very big slice of the pie of blame. She could have ignored Tatsumi & what's her name when she discovered them but did she? The answer is no.

Newest chapter was pretty great. I worried about Rabac there for a second but it looks like he managed to avoid any death flags for now and even took out both assassins. Pretty sweet. I also agree that at this point I wouldn't mind seeing justice chick being the next to go. While I do feel kind of sorry for her losing people she cares about, her Knight Templar-esque insanity has slowly made her more and more unlikeable. If she doesn't get killed this time though, it does seem inevitable Esdese will find out about Tatsumi so that should be interesting.

The glaring discrepancy between Seiryuu's kind and happy playing with little kids and her manic hatred hatred for NR (who murdered several people dear to her) only shows how corrupting this entire war is. Because it emotionally warps people like Seiryuu who should tend to kids rather than being out to kill. I feel strongly about this because I feel that this simple truth has direct ramifications in real life. Perpetuating war with the naive reason "we have to because we must win" will generally lead nowhere, because it will constantly drag people into the conflict out of a longing for revenge - just like Seiryuu. War feasts on itself, and those people killed are usually simply replaced by those people who want revenge for a loss of loved ones. And this manga has the courage to display it to the thinking reader. |

Moving on, as for your second point about how Seiryuu was emotionally warped by the war but as she is now, I do agree that this war has corrupted everyone involved(aside from maybe Wave or he may already be screwed up and I haven't noticed) and is really a black hole that sucks away people's lives. However, I think as for her tending to children, she'll most probably(if it even exists) may need a few months/years of therapy before she can be fit to do that. Considering all that's happened so far. As for your final point, NR's & the resistance's reason for war against the empire isn't "because we need to win" it's because the empire is so corrupt you have people like that girl from the first chapter that tortured and killed Tatsumi's friend's popping up left and right. That has to be stopped but with the current government that doesn't seem like it's going to happen anytime soon. Though when you say "War feasts on itself, and those people killed are usually simply replaced by those people who want revenge for a loss of loved ones." I can't say you're wrong. Because after all, that does happen both in real life and fiction.

These's no such thing as a righteous war, it will always warp everyone involved, it's always about making the best of bad situation in those cases. Displacing a tyrannical always seems a good idea at the time but the long reaching consequences of his removal are no simple matter, you may very well be plunging your country into constant war that has long reaching ramifications. Unless the rebel faction has made all the preparations for a swift coup d'état (and they rarely do) you could easily be plunging the citizens into a worse standard of life than what they were experiencing before. The world currently and in history is filled with these examples.
I suppose the recurring theme through history is that something that seems like good idea may often not be. |

Somehow i get the feeling that Akame will bethray everyone and take her siters sword too while esdese will join tatsumis side and use shirkies siccors against akame in last battle . I want tatsumi be the king of the north and fight empire since i dont think the corruption will change even if revlutioaries wins .
Also its good that there is hybrid people which means story can get intresting and get much more development , i also think tatsumi can be a hybrid but who knows . If this story can go like berserk or guin saga it would be much more cooler. |

I think its because of the name of the manga also we dont know who is leading revolutionaries which also means that akame can be faithful to that guy , dont you find it weird after all these chapter we have no idea about who is leading revolutionaries .

Good chapter. I have give this manga credit for making me legitimately question whether a character will die or not. Things could have gone either way for him and really like that since it means almost every fight count.
At last it seem the showdown between Mein and Seiryuu will begin. This is pretty familiar setup though... |
