This volume is a pause of a kind. Most of it is devolved to a "jinki 101" session followed with the discovery of new artist forgers who can paint one-time enchantments. Interesting if not amazing and at least Remlin’s hyperactivity gives way to very dynamic scenes. Her grin is somehow communicative.

The fight starting the new quest is visually impressive but not very legible if I’m honest. Speed lines and dust everywhere but don’t ask me what actually happened.

More 3,5* than 4 but the excellent designs and visual treats Urana offers make me feel generous.

I see the soul eater in this, since it came from soul eaters editor. the vibes in this series are just so good.

[LJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

Can't get enough of this series. The humor is so funny and I just love the art style! Enjin is fast becoming my favourite.
But also... that ending 😳

[Drew Toxclox · Rating 3 out of 5]

The pieces of world building that just show up on and off are so much fun. Like what do you mean that there's an entire civilization of artists that the CITY ITSELF will not let people with greed in their souls in? I'm having so much fun with this.

Remlin è un tesoro prezioso e adorabile, uno tra i miei personaggi preferiti della serie.
Al contrario, Amo non mi fa impazzire e devo ammettere che la sua entrata in scena, a differenza dell'Anime, è davvero inquietante (credo che nell'Anime l'abbiano molto “ammorbidita”, se così si può dire).
Ora inizia l'arco narrativo che meno mi ha presa, ma che è comunque importante perché offre un sacco di informazioni utili per quanto riguarda la ricerca di Rudo.
Quindi, in ogni caso, non vedo comunque l'ora di leggere il prossimo volume.

don't you love it when the artist is excited about their craft? bc same (´ω｀)

[Nikki Sims · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great read. The graphics aren't as clear in this edition IMO.

I like desserts too...

[LindSlay · Rating 4 out of 5]

Continuing to learn more as we go, not a ton, but still a small glimpse into what's going on. For everything that happened in this volume, it was a pinch lacking in actual substance. We learned a little about how the power system worked, we meet some new characters, we got to explore the world and see new places, and yet I still feel a bit disappointed it didn't feel like a whole lot of anything. Still a really good series, and I know they are setting stuff up, so I am willing to be patient until the next one.

[「 ✦ Jessica ✦ 」 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Okay, I need to start by saying: this volume was insane. Every time I think Gachiakuta can’t get any better, Kei Urana cranks it up again. Volume 4 is pure energy chaotic, beautiful, gritty, and full of heart. The world keeps expanding in the best possible way, and I found myself completely pulled back into Rudo’s story like I never left.

The way the series keeps playing with the idea of “trash” — not just physical garbage, but people, memories, systems — is so clever. You can feel the tension between what’s thrown away and what still fights to matter. This volume dives deeper into that theme while throwing us headfirst into some of the most stylish, kinetic fight scenes yet. I swear, the art alone deserves its own rating. The motion, the grit, the way the lines move... I kept stopping just to admire a panel before flipping back to re-read it again.

And then — Ado.
That ending.
That appearance.

I actually yelled a little when Ado showed up. 😭🔥 It was such a perfect twist — dramatic without feeling forced, emotional without being sentimental. You know something big is coming after this. The second that panel hit, I got chills. It completely reshaped how I’m thinking about the story going forward. Like, suddenly all the pieces we’ve been getting these past few volumes just clicked.

What I also loved about this volume is that it finally gives us some breathing space — enough to feel the world, the characters, and their scars. It’s not just fighting (though the fighting SLAPS); it’s also about survival, loyalty, and the weird hope that grows in a world built on ruin. I’m so attached to these characters it’s ridiculous.

If I had any small gripe, it’s that some side characters still feel a bit underdeveloped — like they’re standing just off-screen, waiting for their big moment. But honestly, that just makes me more excited for what’s next. Kei Urana’s clearly building something huge, and I’m here for every single page.

In short: Volume 4 of Gachiakuta is explosive, emotional, and visually stunning. The world keeps expanding, the tension keeps rising, and Ado’s arrival at the end? Absolutely chef’s kiss. 🍷💥

Creo que desde que descubrí que la autora es una chica me gusta aún más 💖💖(aun por encima fue asistente de dibujo en Fire Force por eso las similitudes en el dibujo)

una pequeña dedicatoria para que el peque no se enfade:
desde aquí le mando un beso a mi buen amigo samuel por regalarme este librito y en realidad me hizo 3 regalos, el primero fue regalarme un manga, el segundo regalarme algo de kei urana y lo tercero fue comprarlo pensando en mi.

I adore the linework, balance, and style of the art in Gachiakuta. The wacky eyes and exaggerated poses of the characters really suit my palette, and the battle scenes are fun and easy to follow. The English typesetting work and fonts chosen also feel really solid and are pleasant to read. Well-balanced. I can say the same for the English dialogue - the writing’s got character, style, and rhythm. Bravo!

[Angharad · Rating 3 out of 5]

Volume 4 was a little bit better than the second and third because there's a really interesting antagonist, but Gachiakuta still can't beat the trappings of anime/manga stereotypes. I think a story like this would've been a great opportunity to break those molds or turn them on their heads in new and inventive ways, but the only real creativity here is with the art itself.
