Synopsis

Living in the slums of a wealthy town, Rudo and his foster father Regto try to coexist with the rest of the town's residents, but Rudo despises the wastefulness of the upper class. Ignoring the warnings from those around him, Rudo regularly rummages through the town's garbage in search of anything useful or valuable to save from the "Abyss"—a massive hole where anything considered trash is dumped, including people. Rudo's biological father was one such person, having been thrown into the Abyss after he was accused of murder.

One day, after running into a mysterious figure on the way home, Rudo returns to find Regto's dying body on the floor. He is immediately found at the scene by the authorities and is charged with murder. No one believes his claims of innocence, and he is thrown into the Abyss. Instead of dying, however, he finds himself in a strange, foul-smelling place surrounded by monsters made out of trash.

When Rudo is attacked by said monsters, he is saved by a man named Enjin, who reveals himself to be a "Cleaner"—someone who uses special weapons called Vital Instruments to combat these creatures. In order to get his revenge on the one who killed Regto, Rudo reluctantly becomes a Cleaner to fight his way back up and out of the Abyss.

Preliminary (131/? eps)

Gachiakuta instantly grabbed me with a chaotic mix of wild energy, creative worldbuilding, and a protagonist I connected with right away. The premise is unique and refreshing, and from the very beginning the series never slows down, always pushing forward with something new and exciting. The art is hard to describe — it’s raw and messy in a way that almost feels wrong at first glance, yet the more I read, the more it felt perfect for the world it was creating. That duality makes it stand out visually more than most modern manga, and combined with its inventive designs and gritty atmosphere, it completely ...

Preliminary (131/? eps)

Quick review here;
Gachiakuta is a master piece. It will be a banger once it finally gets adapted to anime, but we are here to talk about the manga. The plot isn't something completely new, but so rarely seen in any media (movies, books etc.) it's just refreshing, interesting and so charming I couldn't hold back myself. The author didn't invent anything with the story as well, but the way it's being told is great. Small information from time to time, and slowly building up the world. The mystery and the atmosphere was done with such precision, it's lovely. Zero info dumping and no over explanation. ...

Preliminary (102/? eps)

I'm going to tell you not show you the Manga, almost impossible to feel immersion in a story that has no subtlety or nuance. You will feel like the characters are talking outside the 4th wall to you, not to their respective cast

100+ chapters and I feel no closer to the world or characters

Some of the art can be really cool but most of the time it's wayyy too visually noisy to read specific scenes or movements properly

And the characters are overtly wacky with caricatured emotions over and over, how many times do we have to see a manic 'This character is not ...
