Night Raid serves as the clandestine assassination unit of the Revolutionary Army, a group determined to topple Prime Minister Honest. His corruption and hunger for power have allowed him to exploit the young emperor’s inexperience, plunging the nation into hardship, conflict, and decay. Although the members of Night Raid are seasoned killers, they recognize that taking a life is never noble and that their actions will eventually catch up with them, even as they eliminate anyone who obstructs the revolution.
The newest addition to this unconventional team is Tatsumi, a naïve boy from a distant village who set out to support his impoverished hometown. He ultimately becomes convinced by Night Raid’s ideals and unwavering determination. Akame ga Kill! follows Tatsumi as he battles the Empire, encounters deadly weapons and rival assassins, grapples with moral dilemmas, and discovers what it truly means to fight—and kill—for a cause.

|---|---|
|
The last canon episode that aired is 19 of Season 1, which corresponds to Chapter 36 (p. 31-41), 37 and 38 of the manga. The adaptation covers up to this point. (*) The last 5 episodes of the anime were not adapted from the manga, deviating from what the author wrote and having a totally different ending than the manga. |
After watching the anime, to continue the story in the manga, start reading from Chapter 39, which corresponds to Volume 9 (collecting chapters 39 to 43). |
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.
