Akame ga Kill! Zero

Every life they took, they believed, brought happiness to someone else. This chilling creed lies at the heart of Akame ga Kill! Zero, a prequel that reveals the origins of the series' most lethal heroine long before she becomes Night Raid's deadliest ally. Akame's story begins not with a choice, but with a purchase. Bought by the Empire as a young girl, she is stripped of everything a childhood should hold and forged into something far colder: an assassin whose sole purpose is to cut down everything in her path. Trained to kill without hesitation, she carries out her bloody work under a single guiding conviction — that every death she deals brings joy to someone, somewhere. Yet conviction is a fragile thing when it is built on blood. After all, that is what brings people happiness... isn't it? With each life her blade claims, the certainty behind her mission grows harder to cling to, darkening the road toward the legendary killer she is destined to become.
