Akame ga Kill!

Tatsumi and his friends seek to find their fortunes in the Imperial Capital to help their fledgling village. After being swindled by a beautiful woman, a generous stranger offers him a place to stay the night, nothing but misfortune follows.

Akame is tasked with training Tatsumi so he can be fit to join the Night Raid. After some intense cooking sessions, Tatsumi, Akame and Leone are given an assignment, where Tatsumi hopes to prove his worthiness.

Mine is next up on Tatsumi's training sessions partners, and her taciturn nature makes things difficult to say the least. Meanwhile, a new assignment comes up, and Mine and Tatsumi are to carry out an assassination.

Tatsumi learns about the history of the Imperial Arms, and wants one of his own. Night Raid's latest target is also revealed - Zank the Executioner, who's hobbies include cutting off people's heads.

Sheele takes Tatsumi under her wing as the next lesson begins, and he is even given Zank's old Imperial Arms to test for compatibility. After running from loan collections with Leone, Tatsumi meets a strange Imperial officer.

While on a mission, Mine and Sheele run into a certain Imperial officer hungry for justice...and revenge.
