Akame ga KILL! adapts the manga series written by Takahiro with art by Tetsuya Tashiro. The dark action fantasy manga follows the title character, Akame (played by Sora Amamiya), a girl who was bought, and raised by the Empire as an assassin. After meeting Akame, a boy named Tatsumi (voiced by Sōma Saitō) vows to stand up to the evil of the corrupt Empire with the secret assassin group Night Raid and special weapons known as Teigu.
The anime premiered in July, and Sentai Filmworks licensed the series in North America. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs in Japan.
