Both stories are about rebellious and powerful groups of people fighting against nation-wide evil. And both are equally awesome.

A group of powerful individuals roaming the fantasy lands of their worlds. Nanatsu no Taizai and Akame ga Kill tell the stories of these individuals as they fight their way through corruption and power. The main male protagonist is a young man with full of potential who also happens to get involved with these individuals. Throughout their perspective stories, the MC learns more about them as well as other disturbing revelations. Both series has a lot of action adapted into an adventurous setting. I recommend both series for fans eager to try out a manga that offers an adventurous tale of dangers.

They both have the same premise: a group of powerful fighters aims to topple an evil empire/kingdom. Both are set in similar fantasy settings, although Akame ga Kill is far gorier and more brutal than Nanatsu no Taizai. 

reportRecommended by ColdBlackTeaFan

Both stories feature countries that in history have been very powerful but just, yet the current leadership has gone completely corrupt. Both series feature a protagonistic group that were once the military hero's who have been branded as criminals because they threatened the rule.

They are both action heavy, and feature characters with very interesting and often unique/unusual weapons and powers that make the fights interesting.

Also within the enemies there is a good variation between horribly twisted and cruel opponents that beg to killed and likeable enemies who are simply fighting to protect their country not seeing the corruption

The difference is Akame ga Kiru is far darker and not as light hearted, with a much more realistic take on what type of wounds are lethal, where in Nanatsu the characters are near (or in one case actually) immortal   read more

People with weapons fight in a dark fantasy world where the government is corrupt and the people believe the heroes are the villains. Akame ga Kill is much darker and gorier, but Nanatsu no Taizai has it's moments of gore and drama as well. While both have some comedy and fanservice, they're not focused on too much. Both stories have characters who use special, powerful weapons to fight.

Berserk addpermalink

Altough akame ga kill is more light hearted. I think it is very similar to beserk. both have fantasy weapons and armor, but it's more realistic then in most manga.
Both stories aren't afraid to let people die, even if they are innocent or important characters.
In both they are in a corrupted world fighting monsters (some humans are also monsters) against odds. although guts is alone.

Deadman Wonderland addpermalink

Akame ga Kill is a better version of this story, much better and that is why i want to recommend you akame ga kill if you liked deadman wonderland.

Both shows are atrocious in the amount of gore they pour down just for the sake of it. However in akame ga kill it has greater meaning, it's a way to push the plot forward. You will see a much more effective way to make use of gore for the sake of story telling.

You will see elements that are rather cartoonish and unrealistic in both shows, but overall a serious and creepy, sinister atmosphere is persistent in both.

Both go into ridiculous super powers that try to impress more with each new chapter of the story.

I first started watching the anime episode for both of these titles and at first they both seemed just alright and average at best and then both are plunged into nonsensical gore without meaning and filled with pointlessness. While deadman wonderland makes you watch just to see how it ends, akame ga kill will eventually lift itself off the ground and become more meaningful. read more

OK, both the stories are about killers, BUT in Jackals it's like the artwork and the characters are made to capture more adult audience. There is a lot of blood and gore in these two, and almost every chapter in these two manga titles start with the name Kill. So if you like Akame ga Kill and you want something similar. I suggest you read Jackals, you will not be disappointed.

The MCs are both really similar, a kid who has skill for where they are placed. Both have violence and gore,so a lot of the tones are similar. 

Though the plots are totally different: Akame ga Kill! focuses on killing people to purify a kingdom while Aphorism is about just surviving a crazy high school. Don't let that turn you off though. If you like one, I guarantee you'll like the other

Both are about anti-heroes that kill corrupted people. Despite they are published in shonen magazines, the graphic content could fit more into a seinen magazine. But, while Akame ga Kill take placs in a fantasy setting, Akumetsu do it in comtemporary Japan.

Taboo Tattoo addpermalink

Epic Fights, Justice, and Boobs... I mean Blood!

Akame ga Kill! and Taboo Tattoo are more or less set in an alternative world, whilst AgK! acts in a fantasy world with a corrupt empire, Taboo Tattoo is more similar to our world, but includes the fictive Serinistan Kingdom. Both series deal with main forces which fight against each other: In AgK! the army of the empire against the rebellion army. In TT the U.S.-Army against the forces of Serinistan.

In Akame ga Kill! they have to kill the emperor, and in Taboo Tattoo they have to defeat princess Aryabata.
Both Manga include special weapons from an ancient time, which are in Akame ga Kill! the Teigus and in Taboo Tattoo the Spell Crests.

They both have a protagonist with big sense of justice, which are both more or less recruited by (the good) faction to fight with.
The protagonists share a lot of character development as the story goes on.
The Protagonists (Tatsumi in Akame ga Kill!; Seigi in Taboo Tattoo) have both a role model with which they train for a certain time. For Tatsumi it's Bulat; For Seigi it's B.B.
Bulat and B.B. have in common, that they are both strong man, who fought for both sides and seem like they're unbeatable.
The main opponent of both series is a woman (AgK! it's Esdeath; TT it's 
The female protagonists (Akame in AgK!; Izzy in TT) both fought once against the male protagonist before they started to fight together.
The main opponent of both Manga is female (Esdeath in AgK!; Aryabata in TT) and both seem like their power knows no end. They are both more or less sadistic.

They have both a lot of gore, while Akame ga Kill! seems a little bit more brutal than Taboo Tattoo.
Both series are pretty serious, even if TT starts more Shounen-Ecchi-like, but both turn out to be more mature and deadly serious.
In both Manga practically anyone can die! read more

Bloodstained warfare for freedom. Akame ga Kill! and The Promised Neverland both follow protagonists who fight for freedom against some superior force above them.

Akame ga Kill follows the a group of assassins, the Night Raid, in their battle against the empire who oppresses its people. TPN is the same as the children of Grace Field House must fight against the demons that dominate the world that they live in.

Both are dark action-gore anime with losses along the path for freedom, made for the Shounen demographic.

Elfen Lied addpermalink

Dreaded. Elfen Lied and Akame ga Kill have a tendency for showing the most brutal fatalities manga has to offer. Apart from that they also have an overarching darkened atmosphere to convey the harsh reality of the world and how it destroys the dreams and desires of the young ones.

Elfen Lied revolves around Lucy's past ultimately leading to her state of hating humanity's dark nature. Akame ga Kill is the same but it gives its MCs hatred towards how humanity runs things, in this case, tyranny. 

Both are good dark manga with Akame ga Kill being a dark fantasy full of action, in comparison to Elfen Lied's psychological nature. They both also have unfaithful anime adaptations.

These series both employ the usage of unique weapons being the main source of power for their characters. Akame ga Kill has "Teigu" or "Imperial Arms", strange relics that can only be used by powerful people, and people who are able to utilize a Teigu have access to powerful techniques like controlling ice or creating zombies. 666 Satan, aka O-Parts Hunter, gives us "O-Parts" ancient weapons and items from the past that essentially do the same thing; for those that are able to use them, they can powerful abilities. With such items existing, both series gives a sense of adventure as some force in each series wishes to collect all of Teigu or O-Parts, be it for good or bad. read more

Both are stylish shounen manga that present themselves as light-hearted, but regularly turn grim. Soul Eater has a halloween kind of theme that occasionally goes overboard while Akame ga Kill! has vivid displays of corruption and a rule saying if "Teigu" users fight, one will always die. They also both feature a particular city as the main location and most villains range from twisted to oh god what.
Akame ga Kill! is still quite a bit more down to earth than Soul Eater, but in return, it's also harsher.

Toaru Majutsu no Index Gaiden: Toaru Kagaku no Railgun addpermalink

In times of oppression, those who have been taken advantage of are going to do what is in their power to fight back. The end result is that no matter how good your intentions are... the actions you take in your battle against the establishment can make you as bad as those who took advantage of you. While two different kinds of manga this is the central theme I find unifies Akame ga Kill! and A Certain Scientific Railgun. Like how Akame ga Kill! focuses on a renegade group getting back at a corrupt government by committing assassinations, A Certain Scientific Railgun also shows the desperate lengths people will go through when society takes advantage of them. In turn the establishments presented in both series are in the gray zone as well. Both have an objective that appears well intentioned (suppressing a revolution in Akame ga Kill!, scientific advancement in Railgun) but are blind to the fact that their actions are causing harm to the people. In a sense the moral dilemmas in Railgun based around science can be seen as a modern equivalent to the political moral dilemmas in Akame ga Kill! If you look at both of these series as people vs. establishment conflicts then I'm very sure that if you liked one you'll probably enjoy the other. read more
