![]() You knew exactly what the author was trying to tell and didn't have to look back. Sometimes in was lazy but others it was a notch above average. It was done with a lot of blood and gore, with dark themes which did pretty good with the environment of the series. If you read the parent series then you would know not to get too attached to the new characters though. The new characters were 'Okay', they weren't great but some were quite likable while others were 'meh'. They did well in character development, although it was mostly on Akame and her sister. You will understand as you read the story why Akame could escape their brainwashing while Kurome couldn't. Both of the assassin groups working for the empire were manipulated and brainwashed into thinking the empire is great and needed to be "protected" by the evil rebels wanting to start a war and disturb peace and happiness of the people. There were many new characters in this series but they did add some of the old members from the sequel, such as Chelsea, Esdeath, and most of the members from Night Raid near the end of this series. There were many new characters in this series including Akame's team: The Elite Seven, and the second assassin unit consisting of Kurome and a few others who are less skilled but just below the Elite Seven. If you didn't enjoy the parent story then i don't recommend reading this series as it is pretty similar. If you can look past that then it can be an enjoyable read (Unless you enjoy ecchi, which then it's another reason to read the manga). Although there are many great points about the show there are some downsides like forced and unnecessary comedy and the pointless fanservice in half the chapters. Just like the parent story, it has themes of corruption, cruelty, and the sad truth of reality. As the story goes on we can see how she is slowly changing from being brainwashed into thinking the empire is great into realizing how corrupt it is as she is being persuaded to learn the truth through the teachings of her enemies. We get to see her early missions with her old squad members, and the cruelty of them. than working against the empire as an assassin unit, she works for the empire. The story is pretty similar to the original Akame ga Kill series. This series could've been read without the knowledge of the original sequel series, however i do recommend to read the sequel because it did come out first. The series focuses mostly on Akame and her sister, their past together when they were working for the assassin unit for the empire, and how with the reason why Akame left the empire and her sister to make the people 'happy' and join Night Raid. Akame ga kill! Zero is a prequel to Akame ga kill manga.
