Tetsuya Tashiro

Tatsumi's fantasy of leading a righteous assassin's life is brutally shattered when Sheele is lost in battle. But though Tatsumi resolves to stand tall against his sorrows, a new group of teigu-wielders appears before him: the Three Beasts!! In the battle between teigus, where there can be only one victor, who will fall prey to death?!

Teigu--powerful weapons imbued with great wisdom and forged under the reign of the first emperor. It's said that when two teigu-wielding opponents clash, one will die-there are no exceptions. As the assassination team Night Raid continues to rid their Capital of corruption and filth, one head at a time, they also draw the ire of the Empire's strongest teigu-wielding allies. With a bloodred target on their backs, Tatsumi, Akame, and the rest of Night Raid become embroiled in an all-out life-or-death struggle!

Teenage country bumpkin Tatsumi dreams of earning enough money for his impoverished village by working in the Capital--but his short-lived plans go awry when he's robbed by a buxom beauty upon arrival! Penniless, Tatsumi is taken in by the lovely Miss Aria, but just when his Capital dreams seem in reach yet again, Miss Aria's mansion is besieged by Night Raid--a team of ruthless assassins who targets high-ranking members of the upper class! As Tatsumi is quick to learn, appearances can be deceiving in the Capital, and this team of assassins just might be...the good guys?!
