Gantz/ 殺戮都市


Gantz manga is released in US by Dark Horse Comics in 25th June of 2008.

This is a great news for Gantz fans in US. I feel really happy that more people are able to read Gantz as i think this is a great manga with attractive characters and high-tech weapon designs. ^^ Check out a "behind the covers" interview with Dark Horse's Michael Gombos about his efforts to bring Gantz to America.

Story
A pair of high school students, Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato, are seemingly run over by a subway train, after saving the life of a homeless drunk who had fallen onto the tracks. Following their untimely deaths, Kei and Masaru find themselves transported—alive and well—along with a number of people who have also just died, to the interior of an unfurnished Tokyo condominium from which the Tokyo Tower may be seen—and none of them are able to leave. At one end of the room is a featureless black sphere known as "Gantz". By way of green text that appears on the surface of the sphere, Gantz informs those present that their lives have ended. The following words appear on the black sphere's surface: "Your lives have ended. What you do with your new lives is entirely up to me.
