I bought the first issue sometime last summer, I thought it was an interesting story so I watched the anime of it. I was thinking of revisiting the story and buying the next two books.
Is anyone else familiar with it? Sense it incorporates alot of video-game elements I figured some people here may be interested.
Basically it's about this black sphere with an unconcious man inside named Gantz who talks through a computer. He brings random people back to life after theyve recently died and tells them that they must play in his game. Gantz himself is a pretty big troll, other than that noone really knows anything about him. The players are required to go on missions and hunt down aliens men-in-black style. Each player is given a Crysis suit and some laser guns with a time delay and xray scopes. If you take damage to your body during the game, but manage to stay alive until your team wins, you will return to the world with no permanent damage done to you. Each kill earns them points. If they earn enough points they are allowed to either be set free, revive a dead teammate, or upgrade their gear.
The main character is a snot-nosed little shit named Kuruno who just wants nothing more than to get laid, but has to fight aliens instead. He has a best friend named Masaru who isn't as much of a pussy but is restricted by his own morals. There is also a short haired girl with big tits who is constantly [i]asking for it[/i] but won't make the commitment to put out to anyone. Another character is a dog who likes to lick girls vaginas.
Overall it's pretty violent and has a fair amount of nudity. Not something you'd ask your grandma to buy for you, unless you have a really kinky grandma.
