    What kind of manga is GANTZ<\/em>?<\/span><\/h6>\n

    GANTZ<\/a> <\/em>is a sci-fi action manga by Hiroya Oku, serialized in Weekly Young Jump (Shueisha) from 2000 to 2013. It dynamically depicts battles between humans\u2014who should already be dead\u2014and mysterious aliens, featuring brilliantly designed weapons issued to the players. Defeating enemies earns points, which can be spent to gain freedom, revive teammates, or select more powerful weapons. The straightforward yet gripping storyline gradually unveils the mysteries of GANTZ, making it a masterpiece worth reading over and over again.<\/p>\n
