One of Manga’s New Stars Is Ready for Leakers to Go Away

One of Manga's New Stars Is Ready for Leakers to Go Away

As a dedicated fan who’s been following the anime scene for more years than I care to admit, I wholeheartedly stand with the creators in their fight against piracy. It’s not just about the creators losing out on revenue; it’s about preserving the integrity of their work and the experience we, as fans, should have when consuming that content.


With anime and manga gaining more followers, it’s not unexpected that individuals who distribute entire episodes and chapters ahead of official releases, often referred to as “leakers” or “pirates,” are increasingly influential within the anime community. However, this development is met with disapproval by creators in the anime industry, who find their characters, storylines, artwork, and other creative aspects being spread online without permission. Despite efforts to combat unauthorized distribution, one up-and-coming anime creator has openly expressed their negative views towards these leakers.

As a dedicated gamer and fan of anime, I can’t help but voice my frustration about the impact of leakers on our shared experiences. Just like how spoilers can ruin the excitement of playing a new game, leaks are ruining the anticipation and enjoyment of watching new anime episodes. It’s disheartening to see footage from freshly released movies being spread online so quickly. I wonder how many viewing experiences have been tainted because of these leaks?

Gachiakuta’s Creator Fights Against Piracy

Due to a significant crackdown on anime leaksters in recent times, encompassing both piracy sites and those distributing manga panels ahead of schedule, Kei Urana has been pleased to witness his stories disseminated through legitimate channels. In a fresh social media update, the creator of Gachiakuta voiced his backing for the battle against piracy, “It’s great someone is taking a stand against leaks! ?? I want you to read our original works, not counterfeits or leaked versions, but to purchase and enjoy them! txk.

The Anime Leaks Of The Present

With the expansion of the anime industry, there have been significant instances where entire series have surfaced online ahead of their official release dates. A notable example is the recent leak involving Netflix, where popular shows like “Dandadan,” “Ranma 1/2,” “Terminator Zero,” and others were prematurely released on the internet. This has sparked discussions among industry veterans such as Kass Chapa, who advocate for respect towards creators in response to these leaks.

In a social media post, Chapa expressed, “This project is the result of our dedicated efforts, scheduled for release at an appropriate time – something we animators eagerly anticipate. It’s incredibly disrespectful and frustrating when someone leaks it prematurely. You may believe you’re assisting the community, but in reality, you’re causing harm. Studios will question our credibility and integrity even more, a concern I already have. Here’s hoping legal action is taken against whoever did this.

Gachiakuta’s Anime Future

Although Urana’s fresh shonen series hasn’t quite reached the popularity levels of shows such as My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, and so on, there’s a possibility it could climb those heights when the anime version debuts in 2025. This upcoming production, handled by Studio BONES, revolves around protagonist Rudo who struggles to endure a post-apocalyptic landscape after being expelled from his town due to false accusations for a crime he didn’t commit. Given that Rudo’s narrative bears some resemblance to Kohei Horikoshi’s style, it appears that Studio BONES is an ideal choice for bringing Gachiakuta’s anime adaptation to life.
