Hit manga Gachiakuta<\/em> reaches screens this summer, Crunchyroll announced Thursday. The adaptation of Kei Urana and Hideyoshi Andou\u2019s series about supernaturally powered folks battling trash beasts in a tightly stratified and wasteful society will air exclusively on the streaming service starting in July.<\/p>\n

Fans can get a greater look at how the manga\u2019s graffiti-inspired design is being translated to animation by renowned studio Bones Film in a new trailer for the series above. Urana enlisted Andou, a graffiti artist, to help inspire the design of the original manga, as well as to provide all the graffiti that appears within its pages.<\/p>\n

Serialized in Weekly Sh\u014dnen Magazine<\/em> since 2022, Gachiakuta<\/em> follows Rudo, a member of the underclass in a society that exiles its waste and its criminals to the same place: a massive dump known as the Pit. When Rudo is falsely accused of murder, he winds up down there as well, where, in the manner of a classic shonen protagonist, he takes up with a group of people who battle the trash beasts of the Pit \u2014 each using their own \u201cvital instrument\u201d made from mundane objects imbued with meaning \u2014 in order to further his goals of revenge on the society that wronged him.<\/p>\n
