I'm looking for an anime where the MC is in some kind of group (a gang, government body, military or even a group of friends) but they're actually a traitor/spy working for the enemy or some third party.

It doesn't matter if the MC is a good guy infiltrating a bad group or vice versa, it doesn't matter if the MC commits to their betrayal or ends up having a change of heart, the point is that the MC is deceiving a group that considers them a friend/ally (or they could even be suspicious of MC and dislike them) and is actually reporting to someone else.

It has to be THE main character (the protagonist) and not just one of the main characters in a group as I want to see it from their thoughts and perspective as they deceive the group and maybe have some inner conflict about what they're doing.

The only shows I know that fits this are:
The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke
Code Geass I guess has some elements of this
Overlord when Ainz is undercover as an adventurer

Death Note, the main character "helps" the police find the killer that is actually himself.

It's a key plot twist in this series (you have to make it through the 2nd half which means you need to watch an episodic 1st cour. Drop it if you want a story that is more obvious):

Not really the kind of betrayal I was looking for (more like he's just using them to his advantage) but it still kinda fits. Plus its one of those shows that's quite popular that I've not watched yet so I may check it out.

Yeah I was hoping for the betrayal/infiltration aspect to be more upfront from the beginning but still this looks quite interesting.


Thanks, might check it out.

It seems more of having a dark past than being a traitor/spy, still thanks for the suggestion.

91 days fits the bill perfectly. I don't think there's a better show.

gungrave also comes in at a close second

I don't know if anyone already mentioned it, but 91 days.
Whose eyes are those eyes?
