The statement also included a message from author
Kei Urana:
- « When
I was little, I used to sit in front of the television and wait
impatiently for my favorite cartoons to appear on the screen. One of my
future dreams during those chibi days was for my cartoon to become an
anime, and for my favorite studio, BONES, to work on it. Let's enjoy
together in front of the screen of the anime 'Gachiakuta' .
On the other hand, Kei Urana began
publishing the manga through Shueisha 's Weekly
Shonen Magazine in February 2022. The author has also written other
one-shot works such as “ Shikidou ” and “ Noukase “,
but “ Gachiakuta ” is his first serialized work.
Gachiakuta Synopsis
Rudo and his adoptive father, Legto,
live in the slums of a rich city and try to coexist with the rest of the
inhabitants, but Rudo despises the waste of the upper class. Ignoring the
warnings of those around him, Rudo regularly searches through the city's trash
in search of something useful or valuable to save from the "Abyss," a
huge hole where everything considered trash is thrown, including people. Rudo's
biological father was one of those people, who was thrown into the Abyss after
being accused of murder. One day, after passing a mysterious figure on his way
home, Rudo returns to find Legto's dying body on the ground.
The authorities immediately find him at
the scene and accuse him of murder. No one believes his innocence and he is
thrown into the Abyss. However, instead of dying, he finds himself in a
strange, smelly place surrounded by monsters made of garbage. When Rudo is
attacked by said monsters, he is saved by a man named Enjin, who is revealed to
be a "janitor", someone who uses special weapons called
"jinkis" to combat these creatures. To get revenge on whoever killed
Legto, Rudo reluctantly becomes a janitor to fight his way out of the Abyss.
