We had a chance to interview Kei Urana and Hideyoshi Andou, the creators of the Gachiakuta manga, which is serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine. A total of 18 volumes has been published as of February 2026, with Volume 19 set to release later this month. Kodansha USA has been releasing the manga in English since January 2024.

The official synopsis is described by Crunchyroll:

Crawl back from the abyss of Hell to change this lousy world!

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!
