What Is Gachiakuta? 

Originally created by Kei Urana in 2022 for Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine, with graffiti art attributed to Hideyoshi Anno, Fumihiko Suganama will be directing the Gachiakuta anime for studio Bones. Hiroshi Seko will be handling the scripts for the series, Satoshi Ishino will be handling character designs, and will serve as chief animation director. Further staff and potential cast details have yet to be revealed, but the team behind the Gachikuta anime will be revealing more information during a special panel at Anime Expo 2024. 

As for the original Gachiakuta manga, you can now find the first few volumes on shelves now. Kodansha teases what to expect from the series as such, “Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, 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 against those who cast him into Hell, 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!”
