GANTZ

gantzMangaka: Hiroya Oku
Genre: seinen, action/adventure, sci-fi

Synopsis: Kei Kurono knows he's dead; he recalls being hit by the express train. So what the hell is he doing in a strange room, in the middle of Tokyo, surrounded by a bunch of people who are supposedly dead, too? Suddenly, the giant ball in the middle of the room starts playing music, hands out weird-looking black suits, gives them weapons, and tells them to beat the crap out of space aliens. What's going on?

Comments: As Omanga said, Gantz defies explanation. It's unlike anything you've seen before. You may want to see its anime version, too.

Warnings: expect to see nudity and violence EVERY chapter. The anime is a bit milder when it comes to sex.

Scanlators: I don't know why everybody is scrambling to scanlate Gantz. Omanga and Band of the Hawks were the first. Then came Shocwave followed by Evil Genius and now we have Kaizoku-ou. The last 3 scanlators seem to be involved in a catfight or something hehe.
