Description
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. Its name... Gantz.

| great Manga by Fatmanjj on July 8th, 2010, 3:01am |

I love this Manga's original concept and characters though I've kind of lost interest recently around chapter 305 it just seems to be driving if its self into a rut I don't know I just loved the balance between the action and romance though in the recent chapters it really seems as if the romance has really taken a backseat and by that I mean practically nonexistent

| Gantz mini review by Lewb on June 30th, 2010, 2:15am |
|
I watched the Gantz anime awile back and didnt relly find it too my liking. recently i decided to give the Gantz manga a try because it is so popular. I gant beleave i put the Amazing manga off for as long as a did it is the best acion/story/art oriented manga i have every read and others in the same gonera dont even come close to how Awesome this is. the Characters start off scared and wimpy to eventally becoming the hero's of earth and at times you will feel sorry or even sad when one of the characters die. there ist much more i can say other then you MUST and i mean MUST read this manga in your life time. Thats why i must give the manga a................

| chic who read it by cidwithey on June 14th, 2010, 4:40pm |

Its AWESOME and i mean its a great manga. the beginning and the final phase are my favorite parts. The art is really cool. some of it aint drawn but i say i rarely see that in alot of todays manga. Its true to its genre its a MATURE manga and only those who can stand seeing gore and i mean like floors covered with bodies and body parts and blood. it tends to lose u in some chapters but if u read the whole things it draws u into its world. makes u think to about what a soul is and the price of a life and how humans can be both the most frail and yet strongest creature alive.

| It's a "survivor" theme. by Romashk on May 8th, 2010, 1:51pm |

Tough looking boys and girls chop and gun down aliens, or get smashed, eaten or blown up. There is no end to this and someday it'll just be abruptly stopped.
I didn't hate it. But it's my kind of leisure reading.
Shinjuku chapter were most disturbing, btw. (Lots of innocent people killed for no good reason) - if you think massacre is not for you, don't try this one. |

| Not finished.... yet. by jessie87r on April 14th, 2010, 4:16am |

I read right up to phase 2, but currently don't have the stamina to carry on reading at this stage, it took over my life. I love this series to bits, the story is intense, shocking and at times rather disturbing. It feeds the right amount of information at the necessary times to keep you between knowing and not knowing what the hell is going on, but it's done in such a way that keeps you hooked and wanting more. I started reading a week ago and couldn't put it down. I'm defiantly obsessed and have already recommend it to as many people as I can.

| started great and went downhill by lbopm on March 30th, 2010, 5:09pm |
|
it started really interesting, and was good somewhere until they start constantly bringing people back to life. Or maybe when they introduce the angolina jolie character. That's about when it got bad.
It just is terrible now. Too much CG, and the story gets more and more absurd. Also there's actually too much fighting to make up for the confusion caused by the shady story. They randomly introduced a semi "big" bad guy out of no where. No development really. It's a very poorly executed story.

| It WAS good by CowTail on January 23rd, 2010, 5:16pm |

This is another of those mangas that started out great but then went bad fast near the latest chapters. As in super-fast.
More people got involved and the character development got diluted while the plot went mega-scale. The art becomes more and more obviously 3D CG as well, which in my opinion 3D graphics needs to always have a passive role in manga and anime, if any role at all (looks so...out of place. There are only a few works that actually pull it off well, GitS being one of them, and that's an anime).
So to put it in a few words: gets uninteresting
Why do you think so many groups dropped it? |

| REAL good stuff by Bloodfall on January 22nd, 2010, 12:31pm |
|
If you're old enought to understand the depth of the history, this IS one of the best mangas you'll ever find.
The characters are not noble, they are not super heroes, they are not correct. They are HUMANS, with all its dirtyness.
The character development, the plot, the art. Everything is real good.
Ps: If you feel ofended seeing boobs and gore, don't read it.

| worth a read by hamburgers on October 26th, 2009, 3:08pm |

This series is all about character development. You will see massive changes in the protagonist's behavior in particular, throughout the course of the series, along with other side characters. Its interesting to see how 'normal' people react in thoroughly abnormal and dangerous situations, which I think is a major part of the series.
Its a dark series; blood and gore abound, and if you're looking for any humorous asides, look elsewhere. This can be a thoroughly depressing read, as the condition that the characters are in declines as the series continues, with no end in sight. I suppose one can catch a glimpse of despair, numerous times throughout the series, and let the feeling sink in.
Unpleasantries aside, this is a good series, but there are others out there which would be more worth your time.

| Downhill journey by sauyadav on September 21st, 2009, 10:09am |

Downhill journey, that is what Gantz is. It start perfectly, build up anticipation for each next chapter, but it start becoming uninteresting after some time. Though i still want to complete it and its not that bad manga.Its just that it is not as awesome as it looks at the start.
