Gachiakuta is a hit dystopian action manga critics are calling "the next big shonen series!"
Framed for murder and cast off a floating city into the abyss, a young boy grapples with the monsters the elite high above would rather forget…
Rudo lives in the slums of a floating city, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he's falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment--exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash.
Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as "The Cleaners" who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!
The more the rich glitter, the higher the price paid by the poor in this gritty, action-adventure manga with dark graffiti-inspired art, perfect for fans of Battle Angel Alita and Deadman Wonderland.
Review
"Gachiakuta's heavily graffiti-inspired art is striking—with deceptively simple and immediately cool-looking character designs depicted with clean, thick line-work contrasting with a grimy, lived-in world… Fulfills that persistent Mad Max-esque itch in the depths of my soul." –Anime News Network
"Kei Urana’s dystopian world-building is impressive, painting a vivid picture of a society that values trash more than people… Beyond its immersive world-building, this story tackles weighty themes with intelligence and nuance… Fans of Chainsaw Man will see Rudo as a similarly flawed hero who must fight a rigged system to free himself from subjugation. Urana’s dynamic battle scenes will delight readers of Attack on Titan by Hajime Isayama. Readers can find similar stories and themes in Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro and Chris Gooch’s Under-Earth." –Great Graphic Novels featured review, Young Adult Library Services Association
"From start to finish, Gachiakuta is a gritty, non-stop page turner with intrigue, violence, and realism." -School Library Journal
