Trivia[]

  • Comparing to its predecessor, Akame ga Kill!, Hinowa ga Yuku! didn't garner as much success despite the initial hype. Criticism leans to various reasons with the most common being the change of artstyle, less focus on Akame, and the plot's quick turn to dark element usage, including rape and uncensored murders.
    • Additionally, the manga was released the same time with Takahiro's other work, Mato Seihei no Slave (or Chained Soldier in North American version). The latter has garnered much more attention and growing audience, leaving little for the Hinowa ga Yuku! to conclude its story properly.
  • Due to the previously mentioned reasons of decreasing interest from readers and comparison to Takahiro's other works, the manga ended in a cliffhanger, where Hinowa was able to become a king on a different nation in her quest to overthrow the Tenrou.
    • There are hints that confirm that Akame is getting more knowledge that would permanently cure her curse, as well as some progress in ways to revert Tatsumi back to his human form.
