How long will you stay in the game? The last thing Kei and Masaru remember was being struck dead by a subway train while saving the life of a drunken bum. What a waste! And yet somehow they're still...alive? Or semi-alive? Maybe it's reanimated... by some kind of alien orb with a nasty message... "Your lives are over. What you do with your new lives is up to me!"…

"Your lives are over. What you do with your new lives is up to me!" This was the warning given to a diverse group of citizens who were teleported to an inescapable condo by an ominous black orb calling itself Gantz. Join best friends Kei and Masaru, the sultry Kishimoto, a stray dog, and the rest of the group as they are unleashed on the streets of Tokyo to face a…

What would you do if you were given a second chance on life from a catatonic man stuffed inside a computerized sphere? Well, that's exactly what the survivors of the first round of Gantz's wicked game have to figure out. Kei, Masaru, and the buxom Kishimoto try to reinsert themselves into their old lives. However, before any of them begins to take comfort in this…

A new game begins! The masochistic orb Gantz has gathered a new crew of ordinary citizens to play within its dangerous plot. The new draftees and returning survivors are thrown headfirst into a new game promising a far more lethal prey. This time their target is a strange robot in the guise of famed Japanese folk singer Tanaka Seijin, but what monstrous alien form lurks beneath this crooning facade? Kei, Masaru, and Kishimoto, now seasoned pros of this diabolical death match, have to decide whether it's in their best interest to let this new batch of recruits in on the details and pitfalls of the game, or use their previous assignment's scars to their advantage.

Life is complicated for Kei Kurono, possibly the horniest teen in Tokyo. So far he's had to deal with sleeping next to a sad but excessively cute and endowed girl who asked to be his "pet"; the fact that he's apparently really a fax copy of himself - the real version having died in the first volume; and falling out of the sky after being dropped by some…

One might be led to believe that Buddha is a pretty nice god. He sits there with a complacent half-grin offering peace to the world, right? Well, not today, and not in the world of Gantz. Or maybe it's just that the statues at one of Tokyo's oldest temples just happen to be inhabited by yet another species of alien being hunted by the humanoid-powered orb known as Gantz. In Volume 6, readers got to see just how ferocious alien Buddha statues can be, and the battle continues in Volume 7. And when we say vicious, we mean all kinds of body parts and blood flying in every direction. It doesn't look like any of Gantz's draftees will make it out of this battle alive!

We return to the continued weird storyline of our heroes in rubber suits fighting strange aliens. In this episode - odd, birdlike creatures in robot bodies of a popular past pop singer. In Volume 6 of the popular, ultraviolent, and sexy manga Gantz, Kei Kurono is caught with his pants down. Twice. And the first time he's got to fight the good fight with…

Dinosaurs. Seriously, can the frantic world of Gantz get any more scary? How about a giant doughboy with crazy fangs and a strange outie bellybutton? Yeah, it's not just scary; it's a very strange world for Kei and whomever is unlucky enough to die when Gantz is gathering random people and animals for a new mission. At least this time the Gantz crew have a sweet new weapon! It's an awesome uni-motorcycle thing! And one of the characters uses a massive space samurai sword. It's Gantz! And it's totally rad.

Sometimes big things come in small packages. And our Gantz hero, Kei, might want to consider that in this volume of the frantic and weird, angsty and sexy manga by Oku Hiroya. Gantz's cross between the real world of teenage complications and the totally sci-fi concept of aliens occupying an unwitting Earth is a hit with a cross-section of comics and manga…

Without giving anything away, suffice it to say that this might be the watershed volume of Gantz. It's the end of the great Buddha battle, and it doesn't seem to be going well. In fact, it would be amazing if anyone returned to the locked apartment overlooking Tokyo tower. It's really been the worst fight yet. But there's got to be a gleam of hope…
