Gantz

The first manga is Gantz.
Gantz is a seinen, sci-fi, action, psycho-thriller. This story is very violent to the point of gore. And holds explicit sexuality and is not suited for minors. If you dislike brutality and explicit sexuality i would advise you not to read this manga.

The story is about the regular high school student kei kurono. At the beginning of the story kurono and his friend miraculously survive a accident only to find themselves to be sent on gruesome missions. They get forced to take part in a brutal survival game, where they get advanced technological weapons and have to battle for their survival.

Even if the setting might seem simple and shallow. The scenario allows the writer to show certain aspects of human psychology in extreme situations. He often manages to give characters a lot of depth in a short time even if some of them die shortly after. The battles are amazing and you often find yourself stunned and shocked by the twists and plot of this manga.

The artwork is very good. The author uses a combination of classical hand drawing and computer graphics. Unfortunately he sometimes overuses CG in his later chapters.
The manga is still running currently at 352 chapters and released regularly.

I give this manga a high recommendation. Great story, great battles, great characters and their development and great artwork.
