The Revolutionary Army's clandestine assassination unit, Night Raid, was organized to topple Prime Minister Honest, who had exploited the inexperienced child emperor due to his power-hungry and avaricious nature. The remainder of the country is left to wallow in poverty, conflict, and destruction in the absence of a strong and kind leader. Even though the Night Raid members are all skilled assassins, they know that murdering lives is not something to be proud of, and they will probably meet with some sort of revenge when they ruthlessly murder anybody who gets in the way of the revolution.
Tatsumi, a young and innocent boy from a distant village, has recently joined this group of merry assassins. He had set out on a mission to rescue his destitute community and was captivated by Night Raid's principles and unwavering determination. In Akame ga Kill!, Tatsumi battles the Empire and encounters formidable weaponry, hostile assassins, challenges to his own principles and beliefs, and eventually, the true meaning of what it means to be an assassin for a cause.

How to Watch Akame ga Kill in Order?
The order is simple, since it will be enough to watch the 24-episode anime, but if you want to go deeper into the story, you will have to read the manga Akame ga Kill! Zero than its prequel that was published 3 years after the main manga. It should be noted that the anime had a different ending than the manga, here I show you in detail the chronology of Akame ga Kill!:
- Akame ga KILL! Zero: This manga is the prequel to Akame ga KILL!, which tells of Akame's past working as an assassin for the Empire, before defecting and joining Night Raid. You can watch it before or after the anime/manga, since what is narrated in the manga has no influence on the main series.
- Akame ga KILL!: This anime is an adaptation of its homonymous manga, it consists of 24 episodes and tells the main story. The anime unfortunately does not faithfully adapt the manga, since starting with episode 20 it takes a different direction. Therefore, if you want to know the story written by the author, you should start reading from chapter 39 to chapter 78 of the manga. Akame ga KILL is available on Hulu, The Roku Channel and HIDIVE platforms.
- Akame ga KILL!: AkaKill! Gekijou: Also known as 'Akame Ga Kill! Theater' are small comedy omake segments that are related to the main story, they are not canon so they are optional to watch.
