What is the story of the anime Gachiakuta?

Living in the slums of a wealthy society, there exists a population of "tribal dwellers," descendants of criminals exiled from society. Among the tribal dwellers is a young man named Rudo, who detests the wastefulness of the upper class. However, they frequently discard 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. Caught at the crime scene, Rudo is immediately accused of murder, despite his innocence, due to his status as a tribal dweller. Unable to escape their fate, the people vow revenge against Rudo and throw him into the Abyss.

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