Gachiakuta (ガチアクタ) is a 2022 grind fiction shounen manga series written and illustrated by Urana Kei with additional graffiti design by Hideyoshi Andou. The protagonist Rudo lives in the slums with his adopted father Regto. One day on the way home from scavenging, Rudo finds his dying father, victim of murder. He is found at the scene, charged, and convicted of his father's murder, then sentenced to be thrown into the Abyss, the massive hole where all trash is dumped - including him. Surviving the dumping, he discovers the surface world, filled with monsters made out of trash, and becomes a Cleaner - someone who can combat these beasts.
