I read it and what a cliffhanger it takes a break with :P


The previews look promising,cause it looks like the game goes global and the war gets rougher.

Geesuz, GantZ's becoming more and more like HxH. At first we had to wait 2 weeks, then 2 months, then 2 weeks again and now 4 months? I really lost my motivation to continue this manga. The author should just begin a new series.

Wow, somehow i knew that Kei was going to die at some point since Kato was revived because he´s also was a main character since GantZ started but not like this...hopefully we´ll really get to know what GantZ really is and why more parts of the world are also in this mess.

From the preview, it looks that the cast were taken to another part of the world i think, maybe teams from another countries will group up, that would be sweet.

I´m liking were GantZ is going, slow or not, pretty much all of the manga i´m reading advance at a retarted slow rate (Berserk, Hellsing, Trigun,SS Episode G) so i don´t really mind.

Yeah my most of my fav mangas are slow cause the mangakas takes thier time to make it good. Most weekly mangas suck ala Naruto.



GANTZ is becoming like in the begining,you dont know who is gonna die and whats gonna happen. I wonder how Kie will comeback.

Something just hit me.

Looking back, Katou says "I'm going to revive Kei", so we all assumed Kei meant Kurono...but there are two Keis. It's possible that Kurono is summoned by Gantz, and that Katou is refering to Kishimoto. This would be a brilliant plot twist, but it might degrade the significance of Kurono's death. However, it's possible that Oku was using Kurono's death only to establish a cliffhanger and that he'll be back in 238. Having the "Kei" refer to Kishimoto would be pretty sweet.

Kishimoto is useless to bring back now. they need Kurano thier fearless leader much more than her. I mean they can bring back her anytime and give her real life back.



Katsou clearly meant Kie as Kurano cause they need him plus he only died cause they were too late to help him. So they will feel its thier fault he is dead.

I am really glad GANTZ is back.

It has become alot better in the last years.



Too bad Kie is really dead.


Must be a great victory for GANTZ to have Vamps with super powers as soldiers instead of weak humans.

They wont bother since they cant get out.



They look smart enough to play the game and win and then kill them all.


I mean they are uber strong how long will it take to get 100 points for them, one mission?

Not to sound like a dick, but the points go on kills not how strong they are.

Yeah but as the host guy showed the suits doesnt have anything on vamps powers.


Meaning its very easy for them to kill compared with the human team.


Thats what i mean of course.


Kie was so good at the game cause he became so good at killing cause of his will to survive the game.

The Vamps looks like they know alot about how to kill and have had much more training on killing than the human team.

Kei's death was a straightforward choice... I mean, the author is telling us that there's *no hero* in this battle...

Obviously I'm getting boring right now... Anyway I'll be reading the end.

He will be back, Kie is the true hero in the manga.


Not cause of his uber killing skill in GANTZ mission but he has grown alot from a punk to a leader to his team.


He will be revived that i am sure of.

Yeah, considering that the latest preview of the second phase of GantZ was Kei holding a brand new weapon, i´m also pretty sure we´ll be seeing him again.

It could be true, and I agree with ya cos I like him, but GANTZ is able to revive who was already out of the game, isn't it ?

Anyway, the latest ch is out :roll: vapid, featureless

I'm so glad Nishi is back. I was kind of pissed when he died. But then Kei had to go and die on us. Also, the preview says that they go to Osaka, which is a different part of Japan. There is most likely another apartment there. I bet there is an apartment in every major city.

I just recently watched all of the anime, and then read all of the available manga. Man, what an awesome series. I can't wait to read the next chapter. I guess the releases are pretty slow though, eh? How often do they come out, monthly? I wonder if Katou is going to bring back Kurono. Man, I sure hope so. There's still so much that needs to be explained too, like the origin of Gantz, and who and why the hell is that guy in the ball. I'm sure we'll find out eventually, but I sure am curious, heh.
