"Unique and beautiful… Inventive panel layout, speech bubble outlines, and font convey a frenetic pacing… Fans of <i>Chainsaw Man</i> or <i>Blue Exorcist</i> [will crave this] story of a tough-as-nails protagonist persevering against insurmountable odds." -Starred Review, Booklist<br /><br />"<i>Gachiakuta</i>'s heavily graffiti-inspired art is striking—with deceptively simple and immediately cool-looking character designs depicted with clean, thick line-work contrasting with a grimy, lived-in world… Fulfills that persistent <i>Mad Max</i>-esque itch in the depths of my soul." –Anime News Network<br /><br />"Kei Urana’s dystopian world-building is impressive, painting a vivid picture of a society that values trash more than people… Beyond its immersive world-building, this story tackles weighty themes with intelligence and nuance… Fans of <i>Chainsaw Man</i> will see Rudo as a similarly flawed hero who must fight a rigged system to free himself from subjugation. Urana’s dynamic battle scenes will delight readers of <i>Attack on Titan</i> by Hajime Isayama. Readers can find similar stories and themes in <i>Battle Angel Alita</i> by Yukito Kishiro and Chris Gooch’s <i>Under-Earth</i>." –Great Graphic Novels featured review, Young Adult Library Services Association<br /><br /> "From start to finish, <i>Gachiakuta</i> is a gritty, non-stop page turner with intrigue, violence, and realism." -School Library Journal<br /><br /> Best Teen Graphic Novels and Manga selection, Chicago Public Library
