Gachiakuta plot and other details
Gachiakuta was first serialised in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine in February 2022, and as of December 2024 has already released 13 tankobon volumes. The manga is written and illustrated by Kei Urana, with graffiti designs by Ando Hideyoshi. The manga was licensed by Kodansha USA for an English release in March 2023.
Kodansha USA officially describes the plot for Gachiakuta as:
In this highly-anticipated new action manga, a young boy is framed for murder and cast off the edge of a floating city into the abyss, where he grapples with the monsters that the elite high above would rather forget. The more the rich glitter, the higher the price paid by the poor...
With a premise that recalls Battle Angel Alita and kinetic battles reminiscent of Attack on Titan, Gachiakuta is a must-read for fans of dark, dystopian fantasies like Deadman Wonderland!
Although the anime has confirmed a July broadcast window, an exact date is yet to be confirmed.
