Generic as they come

by MLGSwag

Rating: 3.3 / 10.0

One 9f the comments said it best, its generic, while i guess during its time it was the peak manga to read, now, there are other manga that does whatever this is, but 20 times better

Regardless i still plan to read it,i have some craving to the generic taste and this seems to fit the bill

It gets more gruesome as the chapters go on, at one point, i believe the crush some dudes testicle, and are about to crush the other testicle, like eww

Overall, wveryone is black and white, if the author tries to make some characters have more color to them, it comes off as last minute writing cause when they try to add some sad backstory to someone, that would usually indiciate something lifexhanging is about to occur to that character

A fun read to kill time

by Fesslie

Rating: 7.0 / 10.0

Akame ga kill is basically a your run of the mill shounen manga that ploys a lot of shock content.. but that doesn't mean it is absolutely without substance! As a warning though it does have some extremely dark and controversial themes/moments

it has interesting characters, with modestly brief background and developments, the protagonist is your cliche Determinator trope hero

so personally I find myself more interested in the antagonists character and their unconventional relationship with the protagonist and the power disparities also comes in play to making the character more interesting!

overall if you need to pass time reading an enjoyable and exciting manga to pass time, Akame ga kill is just the right choice for you!

Not bad

Many things don't make sense, but if you like the concept and the style you can forgive those things.

Most new characters are only in the story to be killed

takes a different direction from how it starts

i really like a few things about this manga; if it weren't assasination based i think it would be a little easier to recommend, since the high quality insight you get in here is offset by the very brutal beginning: the main lead tatsumi exacts revenge after seeing his friends tortured to death by a high society, polite girl who was just jealous of the girl's looks and believed poor people could be experimented with in that way. tatsumi is made to learn very quickly by the other members of night raid that whatever noble reason he may believe he has for what he's doing, this is still a sin and they could face justice for it at any time, and deservedly so. still, one of the appeals that tatsumi has in this story is his innocence and belief in honesty, and you really do see at points in the story; but it's hard to reconcile that with the deed he does at the start of the manga, and so that drags the story down a little.

but getting past that (and that is a big thing to get past), the author has a fantastic feel for the characters, though this story is foremost an action story and that's what most of the chapters are about. i think one example is wave's (a character similar to tatsumi except he works for the empire; still believes in morals and tries to do what's right) fight with the prime minister's son who abuses his status to sleep with whoever he wants. wave at first tries to grit his teeth and look away, and then finally has it leading to a fight. wave does win the fight, which is refereed by a high ranking general, but prepares to keep attacking as he believes that the prime minister's son deserves to feel the pain he's given to others. the general then flashes before him and knocks him out, reprimanding him that he's won and proven his point, and that the palace does not need to see blood for this. the moment contrasts with the opening one with tatsumi, and again it just feels really real. and there's so much of that in this manga, scenes and characters where you say that's it. another neat touch is how the character's priorities change as they find themselves. the overarching ambition of save the empire, or do what's right or do my job becomes mixed with more personal values. esdese is willing to spare tatsumi's life when he's captured, mine willing to quit night raid to save someone, wave and kurome's relationships, etc.

there's fantastic insight in this story. there's undeniable goriness, and brutality. it's kind of all there, and i really think the author is talented enough to leave the goriness out. but the goriness came first before the insight, and so that's how it is. 9/10

this manga came as a surprise to me. i had no expectations. what started off as a generic fun harem shounen-ish kind of manga turned into a tragic seinen with a roller-coaster ride of emotions, and a great amount of memorable characters on every side of the story. and the author will kill off people. This really is a GOT of mangas. highly recommended it. try it out, and stick with it.

Generic and Unpromising

by crazyboutcute

Rating: N/A

I read through the entire first chapter, and honestly, that was enough for me. I won't rate it because, to be fair, some series take a few chapters to get going (not that I'm excusing sloppy first chapters by any means, but I feel it's important to mention that I was initially turned off by the abrasiveness of Fullmetal Alchemist's first chapters, and those turned out to be non-indicative of the series as a whole). I will, however, note everything I found wrong with this first chapter:

Generic shounen protagonist (Seriously, even his design is lackluster.)
Generic shounen motivation (Oh, you want to protect something bigger than yourself? Good for you...)
Generic boob humor (I'm not even offended -- I'm just bored of that routine, good god.)
Generic black-and-white villains (So the Family of Impossibly Pure Pureness turned out to be the Clan of Ridiculously Evil Evilness? Huh, y'don't say...)
Generic organization of genericness (With the overused assassin/vigilante gimmick, no less.)
Generic stoic girl and generic onee-san (Exactly what it says on the tin.)
Generic shounen art style (With unpleasant harsh lines and oftentimes crowded panels. Maybe I just prefer softer, subtler, and more polished art, but it's generic regardless.)

Anyway, I might have stuck with it for another few chapters to see if it got better, but judging from some of the other reviews here, that's apparently not the case. So I'm dropping this one.

If anyone wants to read some fluffy shoujo manga instead, I can give you some titles that are far superior to this mundane cavalcade of shounen clichés.

It's all about kill

by wansmor

I don't know what drove the author (or anybody on top of that) to put the Akame on the title. She has so little, well too small part to make the series titled after her name. The series is more about the male protagonist and his journey killing the bad people. Akame does get more scene towards the end, but I still think the title is a bit off.

The storyline seems quite unrealistic to me, it's very black and white style story (the author makes little effort to twist the relation between the bad and the good guy). Character development is horrible (if non-existant) especially on the revolutionary side (given how long they 'survive' in the story. Almost all bad guys dies shortly after they're introduced and only one or two top villain remained till the end).

There are potential in the ideas of the story, but instead the author choose to kill all of those by simply focusing the story on the killing. They could have elaborate more on the Kingdom, it's history, the magic weapon, and the people. But they don't. It's all about kill.
