I would not say Harem. Tatsumi is an honest fella so he would not go that far but from what i can tell of the women so far.

Mine- personally, i think she is the least deserving of Tatsumi. she's cool and strong but i just don't like her as girlfriend material. its almost like the relationship was there more for esdeaths reaction than anything else.

Akame- anyone could be forgiven for thinking Akame had the greatest chance but nowadays, its clear that fer feelings are, as shown so far, platonic. she cares about her comrades like all the others but it would of been nice if the couple was plausable but Akame does not seem like that sort of girl (buisness before pleasure if any). this was probobly done to give more speculation for esdeath (i THINK) because if tatsumi did end up with the title character, there would be little chance for esdeath since both tatsumi and akame are the main duo of the story. still, the beginning definetly suggested something on those lines, but that has gone into the background or even just left behind from the looks of things. it just seems like platonic friendship more than anything.

Leone- I would of been allright if Tatsumi grew a bit more taller, other wise it would of looked wiered. still, just like akame, most suggestions of a relationship between the 2 has dropped a bit. still there, but its more of a teasing nature. WIth leone marking Tatsumi, her happiness of having Tatsumi and her constantly hugging him into her breasts, it would of been allright. not the greatest, but allright. it would of had potential.

Chelsea - definetly, in my opinion, the best suited couple when it comes to night raid. when i think of chelsea i thin kthat she and Tatsumi would of been great for each other and even a better fit than all the rest. alas, we all know how that turned out. but all the same, out of night raid, i think chelsea would of been the best girl for Tatsumi but that is probobly why she got her ending.

Schelle- a bit of potential here and there. too bad it did not go any further due to schelles early ending. i think they would of been allright. schelle liked to hug and comfort Tatsumi and it made her feel useful. shame really.

Najenda - it seems to be only respect with a boss/subordinate relationship. no potential really. besides, there is Lubbock to consider.

Esdeath - while i would want to say it has the best chance, too much evidence would say otherwise UNTILL very big chances are made to Esdeath. from what we can tell, Esdeaths feelings for Tatsumi have made odd changes in her behavior that she and others have noticed, and despite her love of battle, she still feels lonely without Tatsumi and she even hesitated to attack Tatsumi in incursio despite not knowing who was in there. Even when she knew he was a membe of night raid, he still protected him and did not care for it until Tatsumi told her about his Gf. depending on the future story and Mine will determine the likely hood of their possibile relationship (please please please god! please please please Takahiro)

On Tatsumi regarding esdeath. i think its the alligence and sides they are on that has kept them apart as Tatsumi wants more than his happiness, he wants a whole country to be happy but due to the sides he cant respond to esdeaths feelings depite that they make him happy. he must of been a bit willing at some point, why would he try to persuade her if he did not feel like he could respond to her feelings since, other than him, she would have no reason to do so? he also admits he is happy that she cares so much for him, and that she even thinks of him so much, and was even saddened by the thought of them meeting as enemies since he feels like he can not persuade her. probobly helped him to move on though. depending of the trouble that he and mine will face, and Esdeaths ultimate allegience to Tatsumi or the Empire will determine the likelyhood of their relationship but as you can problby tell, most are already on board with this idea and are stuck to the story for it. it has to be treated delicatly otherwise alot of fans will riot (or get upset). still, there is esdeaths reputation among night raid the the rebels to consider. its not like they would turn her away but neither would they accept her with open arms.

in my opinion, it has to be esdeathxTatsumi by the end of the story and beyond.
