Akame ga Kill! is the anime adaption of Takahiro’s shounen manga of the same title, which is illustrated by Tetsuya Tashiro and was serialized in Square Enix’s Gangan Joker since April 2010. The anime is also produced by Square Enix and is licensed by Sentai Filmworks for release in North America. The anime follows the source material through the first eight volumes of the manga, utilizing some events from the later issues as well, before concluding with an exclusive story arc that diverges from the manga.

Under the rule of a tyrannical empire, Tatsumi, a young swordsman, leaves his home to save his poverty-stricken village. He meets a girl named Akame, an assassin who was bought, brainwashed and trained to kill by the Empire. Akame is a member of the secret assassin group called “Night Raid” who use special weapons called Teigu. Together, Tatsumi and the members of Night Raid confront the corrupt empire.
