Gachiakuta

Overview

In the floating city where the wealthy live above the clouds, the poor scrape by in the slums below, and young Rudo makes his living repairing the things other people throw away. When he is framed for a murder he did not commit, the city casts him down into the Pit, a vast dumping ground where trash and unwanted people are abandoned to rot.

Below, Rudo discovers that the Pit is ruled by monstrous Trash Beasts, and that discarded objects can hold a strange power of their own. Taken in by the Cleaners, a group of fighters who wield that power, he begins to master his own abilities and fight his way back toward the truth about who framed him and the corrupt city that threw him away.
