Night Raid is actually a secret assassination branch of the Revolutionary Army, formed to overthrow Prime Minister Honest. This minister is extremely lecherous and greedy, enjoying himself by exploiting the little king’s blood, while the entire nation is drowned in hunger, destitution, and devastation. All the men in Night Raid are equally murderous, but they know that taking life is not a praiseworthy act and that they too will be punished for their actions. Yet they eliminate anyone who stands in their way to freedom without a moment’s remorse.
The latest addition to this gang of killers is Tatsumi—a simple village boy who set out to help his besieged villagers, but becomes a fan of Night Raid after witnessing their methods and spirit. Akame ga Kill! The story follows Tatsumi as he fights against the Empire, faces dangerous weapons and enemy killers, and finally learns what it truly means to become a killer for a cause.
