Gokurakugai
Gokurakugai (極楽街; lit. 'Paradise District') is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yuto Sano. It has been serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Jump Square since July 2022. Its chapters have been collected in five tankōbon volumes as of May 2025.
Tao Saotome and Alma operate the Gokurakugai Troubleshooter Agency, a problem-solving service in Gokurakugai, a working-class district inhabited by humans and beastmen. Tao is a tall woman with long braided hair, while Alma is a red-haired, fanged half-human youth. Their cases range from locating missing persons to retrieving sensitive materials for clients. However, the district faces rising unrest as disappearances multiply and mutilated animal corpses appear. During an investigation, they encounter Disaster Beasts (禍, Maga)—monstrous entities that came from dead humans and animals. Their work gradually exposes the city's hidden darkness.
Written and illustrated by Yuto Sano, Gokurakugai was preceded by a one-shot chapter, titled Gokurakugai Sanban-doori no Ken (極楽街三番通の件; lit. 'Paradise District's Third Avenue Incident'), published in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Jump SQ.Rise on January 27, 2020; the serialization started in Shueisha's Jump Square on July 4, 2022. Shueisha has collected its chapters into individual tankōbon volumes. The first volume was released on November 4, 2022. As of May 2, 2025, five volumes have been released.
Viz Media started publishing the manga digitally in English, with its first six chapters, on March 2, 2023. Viz Media began releasing the volumes in print and digital formats in April 2024.
These chapters have yet to be published in a tankōbon volume.
The series ranked ninth in the 2023 Next Manga Award in the print manga category. It was also ranked seventh and won the U-Next Award in the 2025 edition in the same category. It placed tenth in the seventh Tsutaya Comic Award in 2023. It ranked fifth in the Nationwide Bookstore Employees' Recommended Comics of 2024 list. It ranked seventh in AnimeJapan's "Manga We Want to See Animated" poll in 2025.
In North America, the first volume ranked 20th on Circana BookScan's monthly top 20 adult graphic novels list of April 2024.
