dude, the majority of 4chan, animesuki, reddit, tumblr and so many others are on the same boat

myself included.

i dont hate mine as a character, but i dont like her as tatsumi's love interest. i would of prefered chelsea or akame or even leone, but mine just feels wrong for it to actually stand the test of time unless something big comes up that makes the idea more likeable. sometimes it feels like their relationship was just meant to affect esdeath a lot more than tatsumi or mine.

but esdeath being with tatsumi is what has gained her so much popularity. due to her crulty, her ruthlessness, her sadism and evil, the fact that she has a soft side that is completly devoted to tatsumi and shows signs that go against her battle loving nature is what draws alot of fans to her.

but we cant ignore the things she has done, the fact that the author comments on her data page as 'i'm writing her so you dont forget that evil is evil' and the recent chapter titles 'kill the love' could all stand to ruin those hopes, or just keep us on the edge until he's all like 'SURPRISE' and gives us the damn esdeathxtatsumi boat.

its something takahiro REALLY needs to be careful with as esdeath and he 'will she? wont she?' is what draws and commits a lot of people to the series (well, a decent amount at least) so if he severed all hope, or wrote her off, thats as good as severing a loyal fan base.

IF she turns, well, not 'good' but decent to have a chance and actually prevails, it would have to be done in a manner that is not so cliche so that even mine or akame supporters can shrug and roll with it, while the esdeath people would just be happy regardless.

if she stays with the empire, it would have to be done delicatly so that the is still the possibilities, REAL POSSIBILITIES that she can end up with Tatsumi, for her to go off edge, and ruin any chance would cause alota folks to drop the series (from what i've seen on the above mention sites)

that damn Takahiro. he did too good a job on making Esdeath someone you would want on your side, that if he dosent, he risks a large fan base. if he always meant for her to be just strictly evil then he should of showed more of her crulety and less of her lovydovy and doting side that gets her so much love, and also he should of made mine more awesome so that the idea is a lot more fitting and so that a lot more people would have a harder time deciding between the two. you do have your mine supporters but in comparison to esdeath, well... as i said, Takahiro probobly did too much of a good job on Esdeath that he probobly risks trouble because of that now. he needs to be REALLY careful now.

but yea, many will support the couple and be happy with it, others, the pure haters, will condem it and say BS like 'she is just fan service' or 'the author says she is inradeemable'. even after those myths have been defunked along with the rumour that mine was the authors favourite (i think)

esdeath all the way! nothing better than an antagonist turning good. but it would still have to be in a manner that stays true to esdeaths crulty so i say 60/40 so that while helping tatsumi, its would be more for his sake than the revolutions and she still has her sadism about her but is less destructive and cruel due to shift in her interests (love over carnage)

that makes the next few chapters vital to her. damn it all, i wished we could of known by now, but all we got was a 'if she wanted to betray us she would be leading the revolutionary army by now' and we dont even know if that was said before or after tatsumi shocked her with...the news...

tearing my hair out dude. damn i love her. go esdeath!
