VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Kei Urana (A) Hideyoshi Andou 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! Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he's falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment--exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash. Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance against those who cast him into Hell, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as the Cleaners who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!

BONUS REVIEW by Jake Pierce
 Steam punk, world building, daddy issues, a corrupt society, giant trash monsters, revenge thrills, and a very punchy protagonist. Gachiakuta has a lot going for it in the first volume, like most action and adventure based manga the series sets up a greater goal for the main character Rudo. After being framed for the murder of his care-taker, Rudo is thrown into a lower society of people who live among the trash the rich and powerful get rid of. Excited to see how Rudo gets his revenge, clears his name, and gets back home. I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
