Summary:

Rudo was accused of committing a horrible crime – murdering the one person in the world who loved him. Thus, the city cast him into the Pit, sending him down into a toxic land of monsters, trash, and potentially worse.

Despite what one may think – there is life down here. It’s a hard life, but there may just be a place for Rudo among those survivors. He has a chance to make a name for himself – and hopefully find a way back up to his world in the process.

Review:

I was too curious about Gachiakuta to pass up the second volume! The first volume introduced us to an interesting character and a dangerous world. The second volume? Well, it lets us see more of the stakes and the situation Rudo has fallen into (literally).

I can already tell this will be one of those series that gets stronger with time. I suspected it with the first volume, but Gachiakuta Vol. 2 confirmed it for me. So, I would absolutely encourage readers to get on board now!

This volume introduced a whole bunch of secondary characters, mostly Cleaners (trash beast exterminators). A few stand out immediately, but I’m looking forward to getting to know them all over the following volumes (fingers crossed, that’s what happens!).

Highlights:

• Action Manga
• Shojo
• Apprentice of Atsushi Okubo (Soul Eater)
