I'll handle these one at a time

@B214 Theres a difference between a main characters and a lead main character Allow me to clarify my reasonings to why I think Mine is not a lead character, as she only became one recently. When the series started, she seemed to have pretty much the same screen time as all the other characters (though I would argue more screen time for any of them over Akame). As we go on and see, we learn Mine's background, her mistakes and her compassion (though tbh we learn this for all characters in the story, who end up dying). Mine pretty much superseded Akame in my eyes starting from the Wild Hunt Arc and after that. Mine had the biggest development in the series with her relationship with Tatsumi and this relationship was alluded to in the series. Her relationship with him caused her to grow. That being said, Mine started out as a main female character who grew more prominent as the series progressed, eventually get to Akame's status as a lead heroine in the story, I'd even go as far to say overshadows her right now. Now onto the bare and bones of this, I feel people are just upset that Akame didn't get paired with Tatsumi just because Mine has just taken he reigns from there and the fact that they didn't get the obvious pairing (which usual fiction does). Cause if anyone were to look at AgK!, the first thing to come to their mind is Akame, not Mine, since she's the cover character and titled 'protagonist'. All in all, while Tatsumi x Mine is not the most obvious or most agreed on pairing, it is definitely the most logical and the most hinted at. They are just cute together too.

@Otaku4699 Again, no offense, Akame doesn't seem to have much development. As far as I know, most people prefer her over Mine over the fact that she's the cover character and by that logic should be with the Tatsumi
