Did you think your life was bad? Death can be terrible at times. There is no redemption, no serenity, and no deity ready to take you into their care. But wait a minute, a god? Perhaps you're referring to the large black ball that has become trapped in the room with you. You've been thrust into a game in which you must battle green aliens and robot creatures for the opportunity to live. When Kei Kurono is slain, he finds himself in the middle of such a game—a test of his abilities, morality, and desire to live. His life is not his own; his death is spat upon and stomped on repeatedly. What if he refuses to listen? God alone knows. A word of caution: Gantz is not for the faint of heart, nor is it as straightforward as it appears.
