I read Akame ga kiru for a good while. Eventually, though, it felt like it was just doing character death for the sake of character death. Continuous tragedy anime/manga isn't my thing.

Yes exactly.

There was a nice character relationship between two characters. Was a big fan of it. Infact I read it for just that at one point. Couldn't take it anymore.

They just got to the point where it was death for deaths sake.

The one that got me was when the manga introduced a new character, gave her a story, made her seem important and interesting, and then killed her almost immediately.  I didn't stop reading there but that really made me see the manga in a new light.  Then a few more of my favorite characters were butchered in terrible ways and I totally stopped caring about anyone new.  If I'm expecting characters to die then I stop being invested in them.

I was really excited about this manga for awhile, too, until it crossed into fetish territory.
