What is the story of the anime Gachiakuta?

Living in the poor neighborhoods of a wealthy society, there is a population of "tribesmen," descendants of criminals exiled from society. Among the tribesmen is a young man named Rudo, who detests the wastefulness of the upper class. However, they frequently dispose of anything considered trash, including criminals, in a massive dumping ground beneath the city known as "The Abyss." His adoptive father, Regto, informed Rudo that his biological father was thrown into the Abyss for a crime committed before his birth. One day, after rummaging through a dumping ground, Rudo returns home to find Regto dead. Arrested at the scene of the crime, Rudo is immediately charged with murder, despite his innocence due to his status as a tribesman. Unable to escape their fate, the people vow revenge on Rudo and throw him into the Abyss.

Gachiakuta finally began serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in February 2022. In March 2024, the series collected its individual chapters into 10 tankōbon volumes. Kodansha USA also announced that it has licensed the series for English publication in 2023.
