Gachiakuta Vol. 03

Gachiakuta Vol. 03

In this highly-anticipated new action manga, a young boy is framed for murder and cast off the edge of a floating city into the abyss, where he grapples with the monsters that the elite high above would rather forget. The more the rich glitter, the higher the price paid by the poor…

With a premise that recalls Battle Angel Alita and kinetic battles reminiscent of Attack on Titan, Gachiakuta is a must-read for fans of dark, dystopian fantasies like Deadman Wonderland!

Hoping to find a way back to the Sphere, Rudo returned with The Cleaners to their HQ. Unfortunately, the one person who might have had answers, their boss, was out of town. In an effort to be useful, he volunteered himself for what should have been a simple job. But it turns out that using his newfound powers is harder than it looks! To make matters worse, there’s a dangerous group called “Raiders” who have their sights set on Rudo, and they’ll do anything to get their hands on him…
