----------------------------------------
Looks like it's finally over. I'm going to miss this series.

Leone looked amazing with that transformation. I'm really dissapointed that her death was so similar to the anime.

Damn that PM death was brutal. Most brutal death in the series. Way more gruesome than I imagined it would be.

Tatsumi and Mine got their happy ending! Good thing Mine doesn't mind dragon Tatsumi too much.

Poor Akame ended up alone on the boat. Need to wait until translations to find out.

Overall I personally enjoyed the series. I know it's not the best and had a lot of missed opportunities but it was still a fun ride and I'm going to miss it.

Well, that ending wasn't the one i expected. Leone death was kinda "lame", i mean she could easy recover herself, but i don't know about Tashiro way to think letting Tatsumi in that form "alive" and Mine waking finally up.

Akame... yeah she was always a lone wolf, like the anime ending, but in a boat.

I guess is ok. I don't want to go around too much about it. Fair ending, good manga (over the anime version waaaay better).

Finally Mine woke up... finally ;_; after what? 2 years? She's finally awake ;_;

At least we got a fairly better ending than in the anime. Leone went out like a badass and died in front of the place where she and Tatsumi first met. PM's torturous death is satisfying. Mine x Dragon Tatsumi happy ending, Akame x Kurome happy ending and of course Suzuka x Esdeath's hand the OTP ending.

I'm happy overall. It was definitely satisfying after following the series for a long time and it's definitely better than the anime. Though there was a few bumps here and there (like Tatsumi becoming a dragon... forever)... but it still delivers.

The way Mine woke up is just sad and happy at the same time. It's been 2 years and just to see that finally happen makes me happy but then she learns that Tatsumi is a dragon. Yes I'm a Minefag, deal with it.

Overall I can't say the story was totally bad, the beginning and the half of it, were very enjoyable.
What really killed Akame ga kill was the decision to exchange good developed characters for impactful deaths and shock value as well as creating a dark atmosphere, gore, violence to make it seem that the story had more depth. This dark, corrupted and villainous nature of the empire's capital and its individuals ultimately destroyed one of the mains point of the manga: to take out the idea of two absolutes and makes us see the two sides, rebel army and empire, not as good against bad. You really don't root for the bad guy because he is the most sadistic, evil-looking motherfucker you have ever seen.
AND the only characters who made us question their morality and even like were already dead. If they only maintained this characters...this show would have a much better ending. Takahiro did make some very good, very special characters. He just didn't explore them to their best potential.
For this chapter I give: 3/5
For the entire manga: 6.9/10

Welp, I was hoping that Leone would have ended up living but sadly that didn't happen (Yet fucking Mine came out unscathed -_-)

Either way, this was a pretty nice ending and I really enjoyed the ride that Akame ga Kill has given me all these years with being one of my favorite series

So that was it eh? A pretty fitting finale wrap up chapter.

Cover page with Akame in curse mode with that smile was just so beautiful. <3 I need a render of that.

PM's death was gruesome but honestly he deserved worse. Needed more torture for everything he's done. Leone's transformation was pretty awesome though.
Leone died. :( It was kinda similar to the anime, really wished she survived. That Akame Leone hug :(

Mine waking up was very nice.

Akame and Kurome's hug was my personal favorite moment, That page was so full of win. XD <3

Overall, I definitely enjoyed AgK a lot. Fights were great, characters were nice. ( Akame is love <3 ) The story kinda faltered here and there and had potential to be better but overall was still pretty enjoyable.
8/10

Will add some more thoughts once the translation is out.

Edit: Finally read the translation.
I'm glad Honest was tortured till the very end.
Fairly happy ending for Kurome, Wave, Tatsumi, Mine and of course the Empire.
Really sad Akame is alone., though that is similar to the way the anime ended as well. :(
Don't really have anything else to add.

Leone dying anyways was a utterly troll like douche canoe move by the author. Sorry Leone fans. Other than that enjoyed the ending. Can't wait to read it. Although, as a mine + Tatsumi fan, I'm kinda torn on the happy ending for them. Its not that I didn't want them to have a happy ending, but it just seemed TOO happy. Maybe when I read it in English there will be showing said that fixes that.

How do Tatsumi and Mine pull a reverse Shrek 2? Did they adopt a kid or something?

I think the manga suffered from promoting Akame as the "protagonist" despite her not getting a lot of development. Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine though.

Hey guys, i was just wondering if you could comment on my profile on a scale of 1 to 10 how satisfying is the ending (really important:WITHOUT SPOILERS plz). I'm asking this because i want to have an idea of how good is the ending but I want to wait for the book version to get released to read the last chapter. So yeah, that would be really appreciated!

The manga was actually pretty average overall but quite satisfying of an ending for sure to be fair. Yes it had its moments where the series was just horrible at the writing stance, things do not really make much sense and such, but for a series that's just fun to read it did the job honestly.

Though I do wish Takahiro (the writer) could worked on this better, because he wrote Yuuki Yuuna and that series was very well executed, where as Akame... not so much.

I'm looking forward anyways with his future stuff honestly but he should at least work on his writing much better through.

One of them was the omake chapter when those three girls are tortured by the people of the Empire (23.5), and I think chapter 52 was divided in two chapters actually. That makes a total of 80 chapters.

So it has ended…

I don’t even know where to start. To be honest I had a preconception in my head with my overall experience, but I’m way too lazy at the moment, therefore the epitome of those thoughts are equally fine.

Even if I’m not really into shounen, I have to say Akame ga Kill as a whole was a pretty enjoyable ride, though I must admit I had to turn my brain off most of the time to get this so called enjoyment. The flaws are quite typical; the „gotta kill ’em all” aspect is solid in concept, kinda terrible in execution, asspulls and nonsensical turn of events galore, the majority of the cast of characters are utter trash (mostly cardboard cutouts and/or fanservice-oriented plot devices), pointless OMGEDGE, etcetc, BUT my biggest gripe with the whole manga, is the world-building as a whole which is mostly non-existent and also inconsistent as phuck. As for the ending: I have pretty mixed feelings about it, though the concept of most of the surviving characters have to carry some weights was a pretty witty idea.

What I was liking about AgK on the other hand, was the aforementioned enjoyment department, the pacing in general (except the one was presented in the last arc starring that cringeworthy mecha), some good ideas/events/characters (Kurome was a great and memorable character in my books), the artwork in general and the fact it was still muuuuch better than the anime adaptation which was an onslaught of insultingly bad directing.

Final score? Somewhere between 5 and 6.

So basically, the mangaka just changed the ending a little bit so that the readers won't look like they wasted their time?
Leone, Esdebitch, PM are dead and the only difference is just Mine and Tatsumi was alive and got a kid?
No shit, it's just like the same as the anime, well at least not just Akame was alive, though she's alone.
Damn, White Fox Studio should do an OVA now to make the real ending animated!
So, yeah I'll rate this manga 7/10 overall. Maybe I'll re-read it next year.

It is confirmed that the author considered the critiques.The fall of Honest and the farewell between Leone and her nakama is more heart-felted than anime,unless the animators are the only guilties.

The relation of Kurome and Wave deserved more introspection,maybe and the kid with the ball has a strange resemblance.

I don't succeed to judged the couple Dragon Tatsumi-Mine.Maybe the translation would help me in this.

Pretty good ending. I guess Akame has to find a lover in a foreign land. PM deserved more. Should've regenerated some parts and continued it endlessly. Leone couldn't go on and on thinking about 70% of her team being killed... understandable (see: all the pages where it shows all the fallen Night Raid members). Mine X Umi = yay. Wave X Kurome = double yay, didn't see that coming. Idk what the general will do now, Lub was really the only one that loved her&Leone (I think if Leone lived, Akame would have gone lesbian or stayed in the motherland; I honestly thought they should've have gone full lesbian).

Remember when we had 24-hour scanlation teams? They would post translations the same day... how times have changed.

I actually like this manga ending better. I mean, Tatsumi and Mine survived while we also had a nice moment between Akame and her sister, Kurome.

While Leorne didn't survive, she still managed to get her own badass moment against Honest. That selfish bastard had it coming for a longggg time tbh. 7/10.

Finally ended eh? I'd be lying if I said I still had the same wide-eyed enthrallment that the first 10 or so chapters instilled in me, I feel as if the entire course of the manga has left me a little disenchanted.

Some key points for me:

-Glad to see the prime minister get his just deserts, though he honestly should've gotten it even worse.

-I'm highly disappointed by the fact that Leone still died in the grand scheme of things, it really didn't do much for character development or plot, it just felt wasteful.

-Dragon Tatsumi x Mine was... awkward? I don't outright hate the pairing, but I can't say anything good about it either, its rather neutral for me.

-The whole 'Akame must be alone' ending felt really contrived in a way that seems to try and squeeze out last minute bitter-sweet feelings. I understand why she felt she couldn't stay, but honestly all of them were assassins, her logic could easily have been placed on the whole of NR.

Overall I'd give it a 6/10, started out strong, and the mid-point was decent, but the execution in the latter half felt clumsy and the author relied on death shock value as a crutch.

It was great to see that piece of shit prime minister die in the most gruesome way possible, absolutely no sympathy for him there. Leone's death was pretty similar to the anime, Mine and Tatsumi got a happy ending (I don't even want to think about how they had sex....), Wave and Kurome sort of got a happy ending I guess, and Akame is, once again, all by herself. Overall, the ending was pretty similar to the anime's ending, but there were some slight differences (like the fact that more people besides Akame and Najenda survived lol). 6/10.

People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

All of this. I guess Leone had to die just so Akame can be alone at the end. I do like the fact the Akame is searching for a cure to the curse. Gives her more direction than to be leaving for the sake of leaving.

As you said, the final chapters should've been better. The author was ready for this series to end and it showed in the writing.

Exhibit A - Marasame's trump card was supposed to make her lose her sanity. I didn't feel this during or after the fight. It was traded in for her being in pain instead. Fact of the matter is, there would've been nobody to stop her had she truly lost it. She'd already defeated Esdeath, Leone was dying, and Dragon Tatsumi wasn't nowhere near as strong as expected. That would've opened up more chapters and put the author in a hole.

Exhibit B - Esdeaths death. Based on the sequence of events, I can't help but feel that Esdeath died simply because the manga was ending the following chapter.

All in all, I'd say the finale was rather weak. The ball started falling mid way and finally shattered on impact in the final arc.
