If Gachiakuta hooked you with its brutal world, emotional grit, and trash-powered fights, you’re in for a treat.
We’ve compiled a list of 10 manga series that fans of Gachiakuta will absolutely love — packed with dystopias, creative power systems, and raw storytelling.
Whether it’s the bleak setting, the rage-fueled protagonists, or the emotional weaponry that drew you in, these manga offer similar vibes with their own unique flavor. Let’s dive into the best picks.
1. Dorohedoro
By: Q Hayashida
If you love the chaotic grime of Gachiakuta’s Abyss, Dorohedoro’s city of Hole will feel like home — just with more sorcerers and lizard heads.
Caiman, the amnesiac lead, is on a mission to regain his identity by slicing through creepy magic users.
The manga’s twisted humor, gory battles, and worldbuilding are top-tier. Its grimy, punk-art style screams raw energy — perfect for Gachiakuta fans craving unpredictability and depth.
2. Jujutsu Kaisen
By: Gege Akutami
Jujutsu Kaisen is mainstream for a reason — it’s packed with cursed powers, emotional trauma, and moral complexity.
Yuji Itadori’s story starts with him swallowing a cursed object to protect his friends. Sound crazy?
It is — in the best way. Gritty urban settings, gruesome enemies, and fights that twist the rules of physics give JJK the same inventive spirit Gachiakuta fans adore.
3. Fire Punch
By: Tatsuki Fujimoto
Before Chainsaw Man, Fujimoto gave us Fire Punch — a frozen hellscape where pain never stops, and hope barely survives.
Agni, our protagonist, is constantly burning due to a regeneration curse and fights through horrific trauma.
This one isn’t for the faint-hearted.
But if Gachiakuta’s Rudo inspired you with his pain-fueled determination, Fire Punch will scorch your soul.
4. Blame!
By: Tsutomu Nihei
Want a sci-fi version of the Abyss that goes vertical instead of deep?
Welcome to Blame! — where massive machines, cryptic missions, and endless corridors await.
Killy, the lone wanderer, is searching for a gene that can stop The City’s insane expansion.
Like Gachiakuta, it’s less about the destination and more about surviving the journey. Expect stunning visuals, sparse dialogue, and existential themes.
5. Deadman Wonderland
By: Jinsei Kataoka & Kazuma Kondou
Wrongly accused? Check. Tossed into a twisted prison? Check. Weird blood powers? Double check.
Deadman Wonderland is a dystopian death game where prisoners fight for their lives while entertaining the masses.
Ganta’s quest for revenge mirrors Rudo’s — driven by injustice and raw emotion.
Plus, it has one of the most unique power systems out there.
6. Made in Abyss
By: Akihito Tsukushi
Don’t let the cutesy art fool you — Made in Abyss is brutal, beautiful, and devastating.
Riko and her robot buddy Reg descend into a mysterious chasm filled with monsters, lost tech, and deadly secrets. Like Gachiakuta, it’s about orphans facing off against a world that wants to consume them.
The Abyss here isn’t made of trash, but it’s just as emotionally crushing.
7. Tokyo Ghoul
By: Sui Ishida
If you’re into tortured protagonists balancing humanity and monstrosity, Tokyo Ghoul is a must-read.
Kaneki’s transformation from soft college boy to half-ghoul killing machine is dark, tragic, and totally engrossing.
The series dives deep into identity, discrimination, and survival — all with intense fights and memorable villains.
8. Jagaaaaaan
By: Muneyuki Kaneshiro & Kensuke Nishida
Mutating monsters. Gun-arm powers. Psychological trauma. Jagaaaaaan is the chaotic energy of Gachiakuta turned up to 11.
Shintarou Jagasaki’s boring life explodes after a freak accident gives him destructive powers.
This manga blends explosive action with deep emotional arcs, exploring rage, regret, and redemption in a world that’s falling apart.
9. Chainsaw Man
By: Tatsuki Fujimoto
You knew this was coming.
Chainsaw Man blends trashy grit with emotional gold. Denji, the chainsaw-wielding devil hunter, fights literal and internal demons in a world ruled by fear.
If you liked Gachiakuta’s raw emotion and chaotic visuals, this series is your next obsession.
10. Pluto
By: Naoki Urasawa
Looking for a mature, cerebral take with sci-fi elements? Pluto reimagines Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy into a noir murder mystery with AI ethics, global politics, and deep emotion.
Gesicht, the robot detective, investigates a string of murders that threaten to unravel peace between humans and robots.
It’s a slow burn but profoundly rewarding, especially for fans who appreciate thematic storytelling like Gachiakuta’s exploration of inequality and trauma.
Final Thoughts: What Fans Can Expect
If Gachiakuta pulled you in with its emotional core and grungy world, these manga titles will keep that fire burning. Whether it’s Denji’s chainsaws, Caiman’s curse, or Riko’s descent into darkness — each one hits with heart, horror, and heaps of style.
