Title: Gantz
Categories: action, anime, mature, seinen, supernatural
Author: Oku Hiroya

Summary:
Somewhere in Tokyo, there is a room. In that room is a black sphere. Periodically, people who should otherwise have died are transferred to the room. There, the sphere gives them special suits and weapons, and sends them out on a mission to kill aliens here on Earth. While these missions take place, the rest of the world is largely oblivious to them. These missions are lethal - few participants survive them. The sphere calls the shots, and it's not the slightest bit nice. It's name... Gantz.

If you never read it than you must have at least heard about it. Gantz is bloody story that leaves nobody or very few people alive. Not for kids, manga have nice art and some really interesting plots.

P. S.
Saying "Never heard of it" is considered spaming.

Yeah, that was surprising. I wish Kurono stayed in Gnatz for phase 2. Now look what happen to him.

I would say it's a pretty good manga. It comes out once every two weeks. There is 269 chapters at the moment. If you in a mood for some seinen action and fighting against monsters than you should check it out.

I've heard of this series from a friend of mine on another forum. She really likes it and made me read it. I read the first chapter and am really interested in it, but not sure if I can handle very many series at once.

Help my mini city grow by clicking here. Thank you!

lol, I would say it like that. They are in a middle of a fight so there isn't much room for development. But looks like we have a new interesting character that goes by the name Oka Hachirou...

I mean, he played Ping Pong. I loled at that part.

Hmm, since it's first arc of phase two I guess more and more quastions will pop up. Like those Vampires. lol, they are killing Gantz guys and now two of them are member of Gantz.

But yeah, Kurono is now dead. it's not the same without him. I guess Kato will try to replace him but he is not as cool as Kei.

Maybe next mission will be outside Japan. If I remember correctly there are some hints of Gantz team being formed in Germany. I strong one...

hope fully all tho this recent arc looks like its gonna drag on for another like 5 chaps which = like 4 months at the current translation rate...warning about the spoiler, its from about whats gonna happen in 271

Spoiler

looks like oka is about to get his ass kicked lol..it seems like a even fight now even though the old man form of nuri don't seem all that threating, he is able to remove oka's mask...so it can go either way at this point.

and yeah i agree about kato..hes just like meh...i got all hyped when i saw nishi then bam..gets his arm blown off and hes out of commission for the rest of the mission..i hoping hes gonna do something like bring back izumi..i mean after seeing it still possible to get screwed over even out side of gantz i can't see why he would wish for freedom at this point...

Well chapters sure are coming out slow lately. Next one will be released on May 15th.

Don't you just hate Golden Week.

Here is the spoiler of next chapter found:

Spoiler

Cali @ StopTazmo posted:

Lines marked with (*) mean I'm not sure if I got the sentence quite right.

271 Endangered Rivals

Comment: Oka Hachirou furiously attacks... but the Nurari...?

Nurarihyon transforns into a mass with all the forms of the previously seem youkais.

Oka immediately takes out some sort of ray gun from the palm of his hand with witch he turns Nuri to pieces.

Katou and the others watch the situation.

Katou: Has he won?

Reika: In...credible.

Katou: Is it over?... Really...

Reika: For real? So the transfer...

Katou: Gantz! Hurry up!

Anzu: We can... go back?

Since the transfer didn't start, they turn their gazes to Oka.

Cherry stares at Oka: Is there someone inside that machine?

Oka: You... don't die (*)

Katou: eh?

Oka: I'm not sure... if this is over.

From Nuri's pieces, the 100 pointer returns to his first form (the old guy)

Katou: Eh? Oh no!

Cherry: What are we gonna do?

Oka attacks with his hand palm ray but no damage is done to Nuri, who sits on the lumps of meat.

Nurarihyon: Interesting... Quite interesting.

Nuri stands up and Oka promptly attacks it with his right elbow blade, but Nuri evades the blow.

Nura: Ho Ho

Oka attacks him several times but Nuri evades all of Oka's attacks.

Nurarihyon: Yes I see, I see (*)

But Oka attacks again with his left elbow blade, cutting Nuri into two.

Katou: Oh!

Anzu: Ya!

Nuri thinks something meanwhile.

Nuri: What is this I'm feeling?

Then, Nuri rises and regenerates, becoming one again.

Nuri: Ho! I see I see clearly shall we go! (*)

Nuri starts to respond to Oka's attack.

Nuri's attacks cut the cables of the super suit.

Nuri: Hey, look!

Nuri comes up with an elbow blade similar to Oka but...

Nuri: How about this? Hey

Nuri strechtes his arm in the same way as the ones from Oka's super suit. (*)

Oka is hit by Nuri but manages to detain the blow with his left arm.

Nuri: Yes yes very well

Nuri attacks Oka the same way.

Katou and the others begin to tremble as they behold Nuri's growth.

Katou: Everything is useless... (*)

Oka hits Nuri in the face but Nuri blocks the blow by covering his face.

Nura: Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

GAN GAN GAN GAN GAN

After 5 hits, Nuri takes Oka's mask off and we get to see his face.

Comment: The difference between the rivals invites in desperation!?

Finally, a way to end it!?

Next chapter on May 15th

I guess Kato will revive Kei and after that they will somehow revive Kishimoto. I wondered why Kei didn't revive Kishimoto before, instead we got Nishi back. It will be hard to get them back though... aliens are pretty powerful right now. Even 7-times-finisher have problems.
