I find it an interesting mix of comedy at one point and brutally murdering main characters the next. The characters are varied and each quite unique and the author tries adding depth with back stories but somehow it feels they still remain fairly flat and stereotypical. it's a shame as this lessens the impact killing off team mates should have. maybe he started doing that too early. I'm not sure.
overall it's enjoyable with quite a bit of potential, and it might even see an anime adaptation somewhere down the road... but I assume the adaptation would be relatively liberal.
In nearly any other manga I'd be pretty sure of a face heel turn from esdese, but now it really could go both ways. with the alternative her dying a remarkably bloody death after saving the shitty main characters worthless life. one might hope he'll grow a bit less naive after such an incident. I applaud the author for making this not very obvious.
I don't really have a preference either way. having her around in the future would give a few laughs as she is pretty awesome. having the MC turn more badass would also be a win.

I can say with confidence that this and Maoyuu Maou Yuusha are one of the top shounen mangas that I look forward to reading each month.

^ As with vaendryl, I think esdese will most likely die too from this latest villain which I honestly wouldn't like but it sure seems to be heading that direction. I would have hope to see more developments with her character, transition of feelings/love/betrayal(prehaps?) and prehaps a peek into her background with what makes her react/act the way she is today and last but not least her relationship with MC.

This was the same thing I was thinking when Night Raid got their reinforcement team; not a lot of shown or explained when it concerns the rebellion and it's leadership/ morals. Also only touched on a little was the symbol our MC received when he left the village, and any other connections having it might mean.i really like this manga. Autor is not afraid of killing main staff, as well as showing us some more drastic images. And when he shows empire as corrupted as it is now, i wonder if revolutionary army is really as saint as they think or if they might be even worst :]. That would be quite a nice plot twist, if you ask me.

What do I hope to see in the future?
Tatsumi in bed with Leone or Esdese.
That is all. :|

Another great chapter, even the ones without a lot of action are awesome. So did Esdese power up even more or something? Can't wait for the big confrontation ..........that and seeing who gets to die this time

I would like to see Night Raid overturn the government in your typical shounen-y way, then have all the regions erupt into anarchy once the news that the Prime Minister's dead. I want it to be an orwellian ending where the message that governing a country in the ideal fashion is truly impossible.
Yeah... that sounded really dickish, but it would go really well with the general themes in the manga so far.

What I'd really like to see? Less tombstones...
The soil of a man's heart is stonier. He grows what he can, and he tends it.

Oh that Esdese, what a sweetie.
Wow, that was brutal, whatever could go wrong went wrong, not a good sign for the mission at all.
I swear it's been in the back of my mind for a while now that Esdese knows all about Tatsumi's involvement with Night Raid.......I mean she's pretty much an animal, it wouldn't surprise me at all if she'd figured it out somewhere along the way.

i have a serious thought about tatsumi has a hidden trait being a death bringer or something. i reaaaaalllllyyyyy hoped to see seryuu die in an agony, kill her slowly while saying stuff that somehow pissed her off.

I would like a tatsumi to get really strong, maybe a time skip were he goes off and trains and comes back etc, ideas would fusing with the tyrant in his teigus core and getting its incredible life force and ability to adapt and evolve.

Awesome new chapter..........bye bye Soo, a cryptic death flag from the Messiah guy and Esdese is getting closer and closer to Tatsumi. Super cool........Esdese's so awesome, maniacal butcher that she is. Such a conflict.
