In addition, it was announced that the anime will have a panel at Anime Expo 2024 on July 4. BONES members will be present, along with producers from Avex and the manga editor. They tease behind-the-scenes details about the anime and an exclusive gift for all the attendees.
The manga, which published its 100th chapter in this week’s issue of the Weekly Shonen Magazine, began serialization in February of 2022. The manga is both written and illustrated by Urana, but it features Ando Hideyoshi’s graffiti designs. Kodansha US licensed the series in English. Although teased in 2022, the English version of the manga only began in January of 2024.
Official synopsis:
A battle against conformity, authority and discrimination!
Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he’s falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment—exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash. Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance against those who cast him into Hell, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as the Cleaners who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!
