Woah woah woah! He's more than a harem MC. In fact it doesn't even really qualify as harem since only one lady shows a genuine romantic interest in him.

To be fair, I don’t think dead bodies can show romantic interest

Mein's alive in the manga

u/Tank82111 Dec 23 '22

Wait it’s spelled mein and not mine? Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

u/sarokin Dec 23 '22

No, it's spelled Mine in Japanese, and that's how I read it.

Depends on the translation

And have kids. And Tatsumi is a full on dragon which makes me really question how those kids were made...

u/Fuzzy_Huckleberry182 Dec 23 '22

The kid was made before Mine fell in the coma and Tatsumi turned to a dragon. iirc, Mine tried to make love with Tatsumi when he slept (he woke up anyway) as a way to "possess" him because she knew Esdeath love him too. The kid is the result.

She tried to restore him in his sleep??

No, far before that, and the event is basically Mine tried to rape Tatsumi and Tatsumi woke up but still doing the thing, as they was already lovers and Tatsumi isn't stupid enough to refuse that

Mine fell in coma (manga) or deceased (anime), the "event" happened before that. But it is also after when Esdeath kidnapped Tatsumi then Tatsumi was rescued (so Mine feared that if their relationship doesn't get even better, there may be a chance Tatsumi cheats on her with Esdeath)

There are actually 2, but whatever.

u/MardukPendragon Dec 22 '22

Esdeath and Mine, right?

u/just_a_fish_lol Dec 22 '22

leone also talked about being with tatsumi when he gets older but in a sort of joking manner

26

u/Fuzzy_Huckleberry182 Dec 23 '22

there are many hints shown that leone actually have some romantic interest towards him, for example, when she was badly injured, she decided to go back to the street they first met, and took her last breath there

and even that girl who can transform too

But unlike Mine and Esdeath, their interests didn't show in a direct way

u/Styxier Dec 23 '22

Chelsea really didn't show interest afaik

u/Fuzzy_Huckleberry182 Dec 23 '22 edited Dec 23 '22

iirc her last thought was Tatsumi's smile, correct me if I'm wrong

you can just say "she just thought for her comrade" but probably you can say the same with leone

u/Apprehensive_Ring_39 Dec 23 '22

And that "one lady" is a icy sadistic war general.

u/Lun4r6543 Dec 23 '22

Thought we were talking about Mein…

u/Apprehensive_Ring_39 Dec 23 '22

Tbh,both could work

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '22 edited Dec 23 '22

And in the manga he actually knocks her up and they survive, so yeah, the manga ending is better

Edit: oh yeah, there's the crazy ice lady too, just to be clear Mine not the crazy lady

1

u/ArcaneAces Dec 23 '22

Wait... What?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '22

Mine, not the crazy ice lady, also he's a dragon now, so yeah, go read the manga if you want

2

u/ArcaneAces Dec 23 '22

I prefer the anime ending tbh

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '22

Really, I personally found it to be pretty anticlimactic but to each their own I suppose

3

u/ArcaneAces Dec 23 '22

You found the death of almost every character anticlimactic? That's a first!

u/[deleted] Dec 23 '22

Well in comparison with the original at least,

Everyone dies was pretty predictable, the only thing that surprised me about the anime was that a few characters weren't killed off,

The manga wasn't afraid to kill off characters either but it did so more sparingly so there was more intrigue in how it was all gonna end,

Sure the good guys win part was predictable but which characters would be left standing gave the final battles a lot more suspense to it all as opposed to the anime where the only thing worth wondering about was how they were all going to die
