Bookroo's summary

Rudo, a boy from the slums of a floating city, is wrongfully exiled into a monstrous abyss. To survive and seek vengeance, he must harness new powers and join the Cleaners, battling the terrifying trash beasts below. Can he uncover the truth and challenge the elite who cast him away? Dive into this gritty, action-packed adventure where the glittering lives of the rich come at a dark cost.

From the publisher

Gachiakuta is a hit dystopian action manga critics are calling “the next big shonen series!” Framed for murder and cast off a floating city into the abyss, a young boy grapples with the monsters the elite high above would rather forget… Rudo lives in the slums of a floating city, 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, 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! The more the rich glitter, the higher the price paid by the poor in this gritty, action-adventure manga with dark graffiti-inspired art, perfect for fans of Battle Angel Alita and Deadman Wonderland.
