After watching so many episodes of Maou, I can't help but feel that this isn't going to end well. I mean really. Every anti-hero film or series I've read or watched so far has never ended well for the main character. In Sweeney Todd, he dies. In Death Note, Light also dies. While in this time and age we tend to favor stories about anti-heroes, the endings are always tragic. Code Geass too, for some reason Lelouch strikes me mostly as an anti-hero, and I have this feeling that the ending may not be too good for him -- though I hope I'm proven wrong.
So basically by episode nine, Serizawa finally figures out that Naruse is Mannaka Tomoo aka Amano Makoto, but Naruse plays it off very nicely (since he's a lawyer and all, diplomacy and wordplay are his forte). Naruse's domino effect is reaching the roots of the Serizawa family and everything is crumbling before Naoto's eyes. In a way, though Naruse is a manipulator, he technically didn't kill anyone, so I wonder how this is all going to work if Serizawa does arrest him. Actually... I wonder if Naruse will even live at the end. Don't all the anti-heroes usually die anyway?
Well, we just got to wait and see.
