To be honest the only one who functioned like an actual character was Kurome.

Wave, Tatsumi and maaaaybe Akame (at the end) were decent. The rest, however was either a plot device and/or a one-dimensional/one-note figure and/or chemical clean fanservice on two legs. AGK's appealing factor was surely not the cast.

But they're attractive and cool and sometimes that's all readers want.

[up][up] As shallow as that is, it's kinda true; A character doesn't necessarily need to be interesting to be liked, they just need to be entertaining and have a trait someone will like.

I will say the cast as a whole aren't necessarily dynamic, but if you enjoy basic Shonen archetypes then that's alright.

What is it about Tatsumi that makes everybody fall in love with him? tongue

I smell magic in the air. Or maybe barbecue.

Being a main character means that anything with a uterus is obligated to throw themselves at you.

You'd think so, but nope she's the Deuteragonist and that only becomes apparent near the end of the series.

[up] He's young, and plucky among a bunch of killers and assassins.

[up] I know Suzuka specifically was In Love with Your Carnage and Dorothea loved the taste of Tatsumi's blood.

[up][up][up] Eh, harem M Cs also has low standards. Nisekoi, To-love ru and Kampfer all have the MC fall in love with a girl with personality with less personality than white paint, but all they have to do is exist and they pretty much have the guy obsessed like they're on drugs.

So included in the fanbooks was the results of most wanted fights that didn't happen in the manga.

5 out of 10 of the dream matches involves Bulat, with Bulat vs Tatsumi being number 1.

[up]Funnily enough number 2 actually happened in a fanfic I follow.

I agree that many of those fights would have been nice to see though.

Didn't Tatsumi vs. Esdeath happen..briefly.

Tatsumi vs. Bulat would have been nice.

[up][up] Yeah, it did. Tatsumi briefly got the upperhand and managed to knock her away. Though she later admitted that she was too conflicted to fight him seriously.

Mine vs Kurome seems to be basically a "my husbando is better than yours" fight.
