Akame ga Kill! is a 2014 anime television series produced by White Fox. The story follows Tatsumi, a young man from a rural village who travels to the capital to earn money for his impoverished community. Upon arriving, he encounters a corrupt and oppressive regime led by a ruthless Prime Minister who controls the child Emperor.
