What the Hell Is Gachiakuta?
Gachiakuta is a manga series that focuses on a young boy named Rudo living in a world ruled by the ultimate caste system. He and the unwealthy stock of his society are deemed “tribesfolk” and exiled from mainstream society. Making matters worse, the elitist literally dump whatever they find undesirable into a hellish pit that includes criminals and the very dregs of society.
After being unjustly accused of murder, Rudo is dumped into The Pit. After vowing revenge on the hated upper class, he discovers his hidden potential and joins a group called the Cleaners. As the name suggests, the group’s mission is to literally clean up societyāone vicious battle at a time.
Much of the appeal of Gachiakuta comes from the writing and illustration of Kei Urana. The artwork on the series particularly stands out, as it blends Urana’s work with that of graffiti artist Ando Hideyoshi.
