I loved the story and, to me, how different it is. I really like the MC. I think he is a scrappy punky teen. It is clear he has some learning to do but he catches on fast. It goes at a steady pace. Nothing feels rushed or too long. And honestly, I NEED to know more. Def going to be picking up volume 2 soon!If you like Naruto and Black Clover then I really think you will like this as well.

Gachiakuta has an incipit I have never seen before. Kei Urana, one of the best Ōkubo's students, portrays a world inspired by Elysium or other sci-fi stories, with an environmentalist twist. Ruta is the classical shonen protagonist disgraced by all the other inhabitants of the upper-world. He lives inside this sort of Slums, where all poor and criminals find a place to live. One day, Ruta is attacked for the death of his curator, a good man called Regto, and he is sent to The Pit. Here, he discovers the powers of his gloves, a gift from the person he loved, and uses it to find a way to return to the “Heavenly Paradise”.
Gachiakuta has a splendid style, vulgar in some points, brutal in others but most importantly it shows us the terrible downsides of discrimination and consumption of objects. Despite being not so original, because of all the classical tropes of the genre, the world built by the author saves the ship, it's so amazing you really want more.
