Kill the Misgivings


003
Just like people gradually rot away
Countries also eventually collapse——

Box: Even the imperial capital that prospered for a thousand years
Box: Has corrupted and is now a living hell.

Box: Evil spirits from all the land, in the form of humans,

Box: Run rampant as if everything was theirs——

That evil which heaven cannot judge
We will snuff it out in the darkness——


004-005
We are all in
The assassination trade——.
Chapter 1: Kill the Darkness


006
Box: Imperial year 1024—

Driver: Hm?


007
Soldier: ...Earth...

Soldier: Earth dragon!!!*
*[The kanji for earth dragon are the same as mole, but pronounced differently.]
Soldier: I didn’t know they came out in highways like these!

Soldier: Ruuun!

Earth dragon: VWOOOOOOOO
Soldier: Gyaaaaaa


008
Tatsumi: Saving people and getting myself known
Tatsumi: Seems I’ll be able do both!

Soldier: !


009
Tatsumi: First class risk species, earth dragon, huh...
Tatsumi: Nothing lacking of an opponent...

Earth dragon: VWAAAAAAA

Tatsumi: I see you’re angry.


010
Earth dragon: !

Tatsumi: It’s over!


011
Soldier: A...
Soldier: Amazing...!


p.012
Soldier: That was amazing, young boy!
Soldier: You actually defeated a risk species single-handedly...!!

Tatsumi: Heh,

Tatsumi: Well obviously~
Tatsumi: For me, something like that’s a piece of cake!!

Tatsumi: My name’s Tatsumi, by the way!
Tatsumi: This is the name of the man who’ll become famous in the capital, so it’d behoove you to remember it!!

Soldier: !

Soldier: So you want to make it big in the capital, too?
Tatsumi: Yeah!
Tatsumi: Get successful in the capital! That’s a country boy’s fantasy!


013
Soldier: ......
Tatsumi: ...What’s up?

Soldier: The imperial capital...
Is not the dreamy place you think it is.
Soldier: It’s lively, but there’s lots of monsters more vicious than this earth dragon...

Tatsumi: What’s with that... are you saying risk species appears in town or something?
Soldiers: People...
Soldiers: They’re people, but their hearts are monsters... it’s full of guys like that...

Tatsumi: I’m grateful for the words of advice, but I can’t be turning back now.
SFX: click
Tatsumi: I will...

Tatsumi: We will...
Tatsumi: Make money at the capital and save our village!


014
[none]


015

Tatsumi: Wooow!
Tatsumi: Awesome!
Tatsumi: So this is the capital~

Tatsumi: If I get successful here, I could even buy the whole village.
SFX: glance x2
Tatsumi: I’ve gotta get to the barracks right away.

Leone: ......


016

Recruiter: Oh,
You’re an applicant too, huh...
Recruiter: Then fill out this form and bring it back to me.

Tatsumi: ......
Does this mean I start off as a foot soldier?
Recruiter: That’s obvious, right?
Recruiter: And they’re mostly sent to remote regions.

Tatsumi: Like I have the time for that!!

Tatsumi: Take a look at my skill!
Tatsumi: If I seem promising, put me in service at around captain class!!


017

Tatsumi: What, you can at least test me!!
Recruiter: Stop messin’ around!
Recruiter: You need to win a raffle even for becoming a soldier!!

Recruiter: Applicants are flooding in because of this recession!!
We can’t be looking at each and every one!
Recruiter: There’s also a limit to how many we can hire!!

Tatsumi: Wha... really?
Recruiter: If you got it, scram, fucking brat!!
SFX: slam

Tatsumi: Then should I cause a ruckus and make a name for myself?
SFX: hmmm
Tatsumi: But I might get caught...

Leone: Hey there~


018
Leone: You seem troubled, young lad.

Leone: Should this onee-san here lend you a hand?

......

SFX: boing~
So this is the capital...!!


019
SFX: whoaaa
Leone: ...?
What’s wrong?

Leone: Lad,
Leone: You must be one of those coming to the capital from the country seeking adventure, right?
Tatsumi: !
Tatsumi: How do you know!?

Leone: If you live in the capital long enough, you could tell outsiders apart in a heartbeat.
Leone: So,
I know a quick way to get commissioned.
Tatsumi: Seriously!?

Leone: You wanna know?
SFX: nod nod

Leone: Then,
Leone: Treat onee-san to a meal <3
SFX: smile


020
SFX: glug, glug, glug

SFX: glug, glug

SFX: thud
Leone: Pfahhh

Leone: Yeah~
Leone: Alcohol in the daytime hits the spot!!
SFX: bam

Tatsumi: You’re drinking without regard for me too much.
Leone: Just drink, lad!
Leone: Let’s have fun!
SFX: pheewww
Tatsumi: Just tell me how I can get commissioned.


021
Leone: Ohh, that’s basically...
Leone: Connections and cash.

Tatsumi: Cash...?

Leone: I’ve got a contact in the army.
Leone: If you show him some money, right away!
SFX: rustle
Tatsumi: I see... would this be enough?

SFX: thud

Leone: Wow~ definitely enough
Leone: You’ve got quite a bit!
Tatsumi: I was hunting risk species and getting rewards on the way.


022
Leone: Hmmm
Leone: So you’re strong...

Leone: This’ll get you to captain without delay.
Tatsumi: Yeah! I’ll leave it to you!
Leone: Well, I think it’ll be okay with about 4/5 of this.

Leone: I think you’ll learn a lot from your meeting with me, young lad!
Leone: M’kay,
I’ll go settle this so wait for me here <3

Tatsumi: Okay~ <3

Tasumi: I see~ so connections are important~
SFX: yup, yup


023
Box: 1 hour later

Box: 3 hours later

Box: 10 hours later——
Bartender: Sir, we’re closing up soon.

Tatsumi: Oh, I’m waiting for someone.
Bartender: I was watching, but,
Bartender: You got your money taken from you.

Tatsumi: HUH!?
Bartender: To think you’d go around believing people in the capital as it is now.
Tatsumi: Th...that’s fraud! I’ll sue——

Bartender: Not happening.
In fact,
Bartender: It’s [ i]your[ i] fault for getting fooled by a story like that.


024

Tatsumi: God dammit...
SFX: sprinkle, sprinkle
Tatsumi: I’m completely broke after paying for the food.

Tatsumi: Those boobs... I mean, womaaaan!!
SFX: ahahahahaha
SFX: boing
Tatsumi: This is what she meant by learn!?

Tatsumi: There’s no one who’d lie like that in my countryside.
SFX: plod plod
Tatsumi: Shit.
Thug: Oh—


025
Thug: There’s a country bumpkin walking around with a sword.
Thug2: Give that to us.
Thug2: Of course that’s an order, heh heh heh

Tatsumi: What’s wrong with them?
SFX: wind blowing
Tatsumi: Each and every one of them in this city.

SFX: blow


026
Tatsumi: I wonder how those guys are doing...
Tatsumi: Have they already arrived in the capital...?

Tatsumi: Well, whatever. I’m sleeping outside today.
Tatsumi: I can sleep anywhere I want.

Aria: !

Aria: Stop!
SFX: clack


027
Aria: Does that person not have a place to stay...?
Aria: How unfortunate...
Soldier: Again, my lady!?

Aria: I can’t help it!
Aria: That’s my nature.

SFX: step x3

Tatsumi: Mm...?

Aria: Did you come from the country?
Tatsumi: Huh...? Yeah...


028
Aria: If you don’t have a place to stay,
Aria: Do you want to come to my house?

Box: Distrustful of all

Tatsumi: I don’t have any money.
SFX: giggle
Aria: You wouldn’t be sleeping here if you did.

Soldier: Lady Aria can’t leave people like you alone!
Soldier2: You should just accept her goodwill.

Aria: What do you want to do?

Tatsumi: ......Well,
SFX: scrunch
Tatsumi: It’s better than sleeping outside...


029
Aria: Then it’s settled <3

Tatsumi: Whoaaa...!?


030
Father: Ahh,
Aria brought someone in again.
Mother: What a habit.
Mother: I wonder how many it’s been now.

SFX: glance, glance

Tatsumi: Those men... they’re really strong...
I wonder if they can even be nice to some unknown guy like me because they have people like these...

031
That aside, it seems in the capital there really are...
Tatsumi: Nice people like this!

Tatsumi: Thank you very much for bringing me in!!
SFX: bow
Aria: It’s okay, it’s okay <3 Make yourself at home.
Tatsumi: Yes!!

Mother: If we help people out, the happiness will eventually come back to us, right?
Aria: Mom!
Aria: That’s [ b]not[ /b] what I’m dong it for!!
Mother: Joking, joking <3

Tatsumi: Excuse me...
Tatsumi: There’s also something I’d like to ask...

Family: ?


032
Father: I see,
You want to become successful in the army to save your village...

Tatsumi: Yes.
Aria: What a wonderful dream.

Father: ...But you know,

Father: It may be peaceful inside the imperial capital...
But this country is surrounded on three sides by different races.
Father: You could be brought over to the borders to fight against them.

Tatsumi: I’m... prepared for that...

Father: I see, that’s a commendable spirit!
Father: That’s how the young should be.
Aria: Did you come from that village by yourself, Tatsumi?


033
Tatsumi: No, with three people...
Tatsumi: Actually...

Tatsumi: All right,
Tatsumi: We’ll be on our way, chief!

Chief: Yes... you’ve been improving each other since you were young.
Chief: Seize the chance to be successful with those skills.

Sayo: Leave it to us. We’ll make the village wealthy.
Ieyasu: If we do that, we won’t have to starve to death.


034
Ieyasu: Well, it’ll take about 10 years for this Ieyasu-sama right here to get well-known.
Sayo: Ieyasu’ll probably break the rules and get the guillotine.

Ieyasu: Sayo! Why you!
Ieyasu: Stop saying stuff might actually happen!!
Sayo: If you’re aware of it yourself, fix either your oversleeping or how you have no sense of direction!
Chief: You seem to have plenty of energy, at least...

Chief: Well then, Tatsumi...
Chief: It’s my last parting gift.
Take this with you.

Chief: When the time comes...
Tatsumi: Sell it, right?
Chief: No!!


035
Chief: Keep this with you at all times.
Chief: God will surely save you.

Tatsumi: Yeah...!
Tatsumi: Thanks, Chief!

Tatsumi: Alright, we’re off!
Tatsumi: ...So well,

Tatsumi: We left in high spirits, kind of like that...
After that, we were attacked by night bandits and got separated...
Mother: Oh dear...


036
Tatsumi: Those guys are strong, so I’m not really worried...
Tatsumi: Just that Ieyasu is tremendously bad with directions,
So I don’t know if he can get to the capital where we’re supposed to meet.
Ieyasu mutter: What!?

Father: I see!

Father: I’ll recommend you to an acquaintance in the military,
Father: And investigate those two as well!
Tatsumi: !
Tatsumi: Thank you so much!

Aria: My intuition’s good, you know.
Aria: I think you’ll see both of them before long.


037
Tatsumi: Aria-san...

Father: Alright...
Father: Why don’t we leave it here for now...

Tatsumi: Umm...
Is there anything I can help with while I’m here?
Aria: Oh!
Aria: Then be my bodyguard, with the others too!

Father: That’s good.
Father: Gauri-kun, I’ll let you handle it!

Gauri: ...Understood.


038
Tatsumi: Thank you for everything today!
Aria: We’re all helping each other. You do something nice for someone else, too!
Tatsumi: Okay!!

I’m lucky.
I got saved by some nice people in the end.

Now it’s just Sayo and Ieyasu.
I hope they both got to the capital safely...


039
Aria: We’re going to that shop next!!
Guards: My lady, please wait!!

Gauri: It seems we’re staying home this time...

Tatsumi: Her shopping’s amazing, isn’t it...
The amount is just getting silly now.
Gauri: It’s not just limited to her. All girls are like that.

Tatsumi: Is that so?
The one I know picks what to wear right away.
Sayo mutter: That’s because
I have nothing to wear!!


040
Gauri: Anyway, look up.
Tatsuhi: Huh?
Gauri: That’s the center of the capital...

Gauri: The palace.

Tatsumi: Humongous...!!
Tatsumi: Is that where the emperor who controls the country is!?
Gauri: No...

Gauri: It’s a little different... there’s an emperor, but he’s child right now...
Gauri: The one that controls that emperor from the shadows—


041
Gauri: The minister
Is the ringleader that’s rotting this country.
Tatsumi: !?

Gauri: Whoa there, don’t make any noise, all right?
Gauri: Heads will be rolling if you’re heard.

Tatsumi: ...Then
Tatsumi: The reason my village is suffering from heavy taxes...

Gauri: It’s the capital’s common sense...

Gauri: There’s guys like that as well.


042
Tatsumi: ......
Tatsumi: Night Raid?

Gauri: It’s the group of assassin that’s rattling the whole capital.
Gauri: Just as their name implies, they conduct nocturnal attacks on their targets.
They mainly target high-ranking or wealthy individuals in the capital.

Gauri: Prepare yourself, just in case.
Tatsumi: Yes!

Gauri: Also... go do something about that for now.
Tatsumi: Huh?

Tatsumi: !
Tatsumi: What sort of training is this!!?


043
Mother: Now then... maybe I’ll make a diary entry today as well...

Mother: Fufu,
Mother: I really can’t stop this hobby of mine...


044

Mother: Huh...?


045

Schere: I’m sorry.


046

Tatsumi: What’s this...?
Tatsumi: Blood-thirst!?


047
It’s the group of assassins that’s rattling the whole capital ...
They target the lives of high-ranking or wealthy individuals in the capital——

Don’t tell me...!

Tatsumi: !

Tatsumi: ...That’s...


048-049
Tatsumi: Night Raid!!*
*[Kanji means “assassin group” (actually more like hit-men)]


050
Tatsumi: They’re targeting this place as well, just because they’re wealthy!?

What... do I do!?
Should I go assist them...
Or go protect...!?

Rabac: Three bodyguards.

Rabac: They’re targets,
Rabac: Akame-chan.


051
Akame: Eliminate.

Guards: !?


052

Guard: ...Listen,
Guard: Don’t touch that katana, not even one bit.


053
[none]


054
[none]


055
Guard: !

Guard: I was...
Guard: Even rotten to the core...

Guard: I guess it’s my...
Guard: Just desserts——

Guard: Wha...

Guard: What are these people...!?
Guard: They’re too much like monsters!


056

Main: That’s pathetic.
Main: Running away in the face of an enemy.
Rabac: Well~
You’d normally run from that.


057

In one moment
Annihilated!?

...At least,

At least I have to protect Aria-san——!!!


058
Father: Guh...ugh...
H...
Father: Help me... I have...

Father: I have a daughter...!!

Leone: Relax.
Leone: You’ll meet her soon where you’re going.
Father: Even my daughter...
Have you no mercy!?

Leone: Mercy...?
Leone: No idea what that means.


059
Guard: My lady, over here, hurry!

Aria: What’s happening!?
Guard: Just go to the far-off shed for now!
It’ll be safe over there!

Tatsumi: I found you! Aria-san!!
Aria: !

Aria: Tatsumi!!!


060
Guard: You came at just the right moment!
Guard: We’ll run to the warehouse and wait for the guards to come!
You stop the enemy for us in the meantime!!

Tatsumi: Whaa!!?

Tatsumi: That’s crazy...
Tatsumi: Ah

Tatsumi: Kuh!


061
Tatsumi: Shit
Tatsumi: I’ve gotta go for it now!

Akame: ......Not a target.

Tatsumi: Huuh!?


062
Guard: ...Fuck!
Guard: She’s coming over here!!

Akame: Target...

Akame: Eliminate!!!


063
Aria: Eeee!

Akame: Eliminate


064
Tatsumi: Wait, dammit!!

Akame: You are not a target...
There’s no need to kill you.
Tatsumi: But you’re planning to kill this girl, right!?


065
Akame: Uh huh
Tatsumi: Uh huh!!?

Akame: I’ll kill you if you get in the way, you know.
Tatsumi: Like I’d run because of that!!
Akame: I see...

Akame: Then I’ll eliminate.


066

Leone: !

Leone: That’s rare for Akame,
She hasn’t finished them off yet.
Leone: ...Wait, huh?

Leone: ......
Leone: ...Oh geez~

Leone: How unlucky can that lad get.


067
At the very least...
She’s not sometime I can currently beat...

But...

I can’t be worrying about that!!

Besides, there’s no way that a guy who can’t save a single girl——
Can save a village in the first place!!


068

Tatsumi: Oh no!


069

Tatsumi: Ack

Aria: Tatsumi!!

Akame: ......

Tatsumi: ...Kuh


070
Tatsumi: You won’t even let your guard down and approach me?
Akame: I didn’t feel it bite flesh.

Tatsumi: Heheh

Tatsumi: The guys from the village protected me.

Leone: Hmmm
To think he’d still be living after facing off against Akame’s katana.
That lad’s pretty good.


071
Akame: Eliminate
Tatsumi: Wah!
Tatsumi: Wait a second!!

Tatsumi: You guys are after the money or something, right?
Tatsumi: Please let this girl go!

Tatsumi: We’re not even on the battlefield,
Tatsumi: Yet you trying to kill this innocent girl!!?

It’s no good...
She’s not listening to a word I say!!


072
Leone: Hold up

Tatsumi: !

Akame: What’re you doing?
Leone: We still have time, right?
Leone: I owe this young lad a favor.

Leone: I wanted to pay you back.

Tatsumi: !
Tatsumi: You’re the boob...!
Leone: Yep, the beautiful onee-san from that time <3


073
Leone: Young lad.
Leone: You told us not to kill an innocent girl,

Leone: But can you still say that after seeing this?


074-75
Leone: Take a look...
Leone: This is the darkness of the capital.


076
Tatsumi: ...Wh...
SFX: Uh....
SFX: Aah..
SFX: Urgh...

Tatsumi: What...
Tatsumi: Is this...!?


077
Leone: They lure unidentified people who came from the country with their sweet words
And subject them to their hobby of torture and toy with them until they die.
Leone: That’s the true nature of those of this household...

Tatsumi: ...Sayo?

Tatsumi: Hey Sayo...
Tatsumi: Sayo——...!


078
Leone: So there was someone you knew...

Leone: Nuh uh,
Leone: You’re not getting off the hook by running away, little lady.

Tatsumi: The people of this house did this?
Leone: That’s right.
Leone: The guards were keeping quiet about it so they’re similarly guilty.

Aria: It...
It’s a lie!
Aria: I didn’t know there was a place like this!
Aria: Are you going to believe me, the one that saved you, or these guys, Tatsumi!!?


079
Ieyasu: ...Ta...tsu...mi...
Ieyasu: Tatsumi, right? It’s me...

Tatsumi: I...
Tatsumi: Ieyasu!!?

Ieyasu: That girl invited Sayo and me...
Ieyasu: And after we ate, we lost consciousness, and we were here when we came to.

Ieyasu: Th...that girl...
Ieyasu: She tormented Sayo to death...!!!


080
Ieyasu: Uh... Ughh...

Aria: What’s so wrong!?

Leone: !

Aria: You’re just worthless hicks from the country, right!?
Aria: The same as cattle!!
Aria: I should be free to treat them however I want!!


081
Aria: Besides, that girl was so impertinent for having such straight hair for a farm animal!!
Aria [bottom right]: Even though I’m troubled with such unruly hair!!
Aria: That’s why I agonized her so meticulously!!

Aria: In fact, she should be grateful I took such good care of her!

Leone: A family of sadists that takes the guise of Samaritans...
Leone: Sorry for getting in your way, Akame...
Akame: Eliminate...

Tatsumi: Wait.

Leone: Don’t tell me... are you trying to defend her again?
Tatsumi: No...


082
Tatsumi: I’ll kill her.

Aria: Ah


083

Akame: ......

Leone: Hmmm...
She was hateful, but to kill her without hesitation...

Ieyasu: Heheh...
That’s Tatsumi for you...
Ieyasu: That felt great...
....!

Ieyasu: hack


084
Tatsumi: !
What’s wrong Ieyasu!?

Akame: It’s the last stages of Lubora disease...
Akame: The mistress here enjoyed putting people on drugs and writing how they were doing in a diary...

Akame: He can’t be saved anymore.

Ieyasu: ...Tatsumi

Ieyasu: You know, Sayo... she didn’t submit to that fucking girl, even to the very end...
Ieyasu: It was so cool...


085
Ieyasu: So for my death, this Ieyasu-sama here will also...

Ieyasu: Keep it real...

Akame: He was already in a state where he was hanging on by willpower alone...

Tatsumi: ......
What’s wrong with the capital...


086
Akame: Let’s go.
Leone: Mm~
Leone: Hey, why don’t we bring that lad back with us?

Akame: Hm?

Leone: Our hideout’s always shorthanded.

Leone: Don’t you think he has
Leone: Luck and guts... and skill as well?
Tatsumi: Lemme go!
Tatsumi: I have to dig their graves!!

Leone: Ah.
I’ll bring their bodies to the hideout later, so don’t worry.
Tatsumi: Whaat!?


p.087

Bulat: So they’re finally back.

Rabac: It’d be bad if we don’t pull out soon.

Main: You’re late!
Main: What were you doing!?

Main: Wait what is that
Tatsumi mutter: Lemme go~
Lemme down~
Leone: One of us.

Tatsumi: Whaat!?
Leone: Huh? I didn’t tell you?


088
Leone: Starting from today, you’re one of us!!
Leone: Congrats on your inauguration to Night Raid!!

Tatsumi: What the hell’s up with that?
Akame: Give it up.
Leone won’t listen once she gets started.
Leone mutter: good, good
Leone: As expected of my bud, you know me well~


089
Leone: Bulacchi!
Leone: I’ll leave this guy to you.

Tatsumi: Lemme go!
Tatsumi: I have no intention of becoming an assassin...

Bulat: It’s okay.
Bulat: It’ll get better soon.
Tatsumi mutter: What will?

Akame: Mission complete.
Akame: Let’s return!!


090
Tatsumi: Whoa!

What’s with this development————

What’s——
Gonna happen to from now on!?
