Akame is front and center, and often the only character, in cover art. However, it is the eponymous Akame and Night Raid that draws him into the plot and intrigue of the Empire.
Akame ga Kill!: Tatsumi is our naive but developing protagonist who gradually becomes stronger.A result of Men Are Generic, Women Are Special. Compare to First-Person Peripheral Narrator, where the first person narrator is not the protagonist, and to Manic Pixie Dream Girl, where the "Poster Girl"'s in-universe role is to shake up the male protagonist's life. Tends to happen most in Supporting Harem stories. Naturally, this can be a source of confusion if people assume the poster girl is the protagonist. Through this, she's the face of the entire work and provides a reason for people to watch the show. Her name is probably in the title, and her presence starts the plot and keeps moving it.
Maybe she's a Magical Girlfriend, Cute Monster Girl, or from another world entirely, but either way, she's definitely not as ordinary as the boy. The girl is a more exotic character and the center of all advertising material. The boy is a generic Audience Surrogate, The Everyman, maybe an Ordinary High-School Student, and he is the Point of View character, and Hero Protagonist. A couple with The Protagonist and his Love Interest, where both characters are The Protagonist in a certain sense.
