    Berlin, Germany, October 1, 2024 – Meet Tao and Alma, two troubleshooters who accept all cases, regardless of the client, as long as the price is right! Mixing supernatural, investigations and action, this manga is published by Crunchyroll from August 2. With the first print run having sold out within the first month of release, volume 1 is already being reissued. The second volume is scheduled on November 8.

    Synopsis
    Gokurakugai – the name of a glamorous district with a dark flipside. Tao and Alma work here as ‘troubleshooters’ and take care of any problem, no matter how dubious, for the right price. But in reality, they earn their money from a shady organisation that hunts grotesque monsters. Hardly anyone knows where these monsters come from and why they are so obsessed with human flesh …


    About Gokurakugai

With 4 volumes already published in Japan, Gokurakugai has been a great success because each volume is in the TOP 10 of the best manga sales, pretty similar to Chainsaw Man or Dandadan

    Gokurakugai is the first series from Yuto Sano. Previously, he published many short stories and he was assistant of Sho Aimoto on Kemono Jihen and Hikaru Uesugi on Deadpool: Samurai.
