  For a good while in the first part of the decade this was def one of the more popular manga out there. It has been 6 years since the manga ended which it doesn't feel like it ended that long ago but I digress Gantz was a manga based upon individuals who were forced to play a game in which they would fight aliens in a life or death battle and if they survived they would be scored based upon how they did. Don't get it wrong, this is def a violent manga but I wouldn't say let that turn you off from it. There is a lot of psychological aspects of it and the way the characters are written is really good too. The story itself is good as you always have new threats and how the game impacts the characters lives is interesting However, I won't lie it is good for 70-75% but the closing stretch I did not like. This Manga held on way too long imo and it basically whimpered the last 2 years or so. There is an anime adaption but it only covers like a part of the manga. From what I remember it isn't that bad but if you want the full story read the manga. There is also a CGI movie on Netflix that is good and i'd say watch that once you get into the manga as it starts without no real explanation and you'll be lost watching it without context |

This one's just too weird for me, and not the usual loveable Japan weirdness.

Yeah, I would say give it another go The most simple answer I can tell you with the different enemies is that at the end of the day they are all aliens except for one which had me like huh |

I got into this series for a bit, but stopped reading around the time vampires showed up. I may also have to pick it back up.
