Series: Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World – 6th volume

Comments: The pain and suffering that Subaru goes through is relentless. As if all the things he had to experience were not enough, it continues in this volume. Subaru is currently stuck in the same loop where he is trying to stop the Witch Cult from killing Emilia, Rem, Ram and everyone else in the village. Unfortunately, due to his stuff ups he does not leave a good impression on anyone. He fails at negotiations by asking for everything and offering nothing in return. He dies due to being weak. He just rashly blunders through, being arrogant enough to think that it’ll work. The humiliation that Subaru goes through, as well as the despair and helplessness that he must feel, is heavy stuff indeed. All this culminates into some deep character development for Subaru and just when things all seem bleak and lost; we get the shining light that is Rem. Rem once again shows just why she is so popular. She unconditionally loves and supports Subaru, while trusting and being the only one that understands him. Although what takes the cake is how Rem doesn’t let Subaru stagnate and give up, she pushes him to continue onwards. Thus, while it takes a whole volume for Subaru to learn (and there were often unusual events such as when he went crazy or gave up on everything), it leads to a very promising future at the end of the volume.
