Gachiakuta’s Gripping Anime Adaptation Continues
The Gachiakuta anime, produced by Bones Film, first premiered in July 2025, bringing Kei Urana’s popular manga to life. The series follows Rudo, an orphan living in the slums of a floating city, who is falsely accused of murder and cast into a dangerous abyss known as “The Pit.” This wasteland, filled with mutated trash monsters, becomes Rudo’s new reality. To survive and seek vengeance, he joins a group called the “Cleaners,” who utilize “Vital Instruments”—weapons imbued with the emotions of discarded objects—to combat the monstrous inhabitants of the Pit. The anime adaptation has been praised for its dynamic action and exploration of social divides.

The Gachiakuta Manga: The Source Material
The Gachiakuta anime is based on the popular Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kei Urana, with graffiti designs by Hideyoshi Andou. The manga began serialization in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine in February 2022. As of September 2025, the series has collected its individual chapters into 16 tankōbon volumes. The manga is known for its original concept, where objects retain the “Anima” or feelings of their owners, which characters can then wield as “Vital Instruments.” The story’s themes of class struggle, environmental decay, and the value found in discarded items resonate deeply with readers and are faithfully adapted in the anime.
