Same basis about being called to a different world where you have to fight monsters to survive. The only main difference is that Psyren is Shounen while Gantz is Seinen so obviously the graphics will be different.
I think of Psyren as the shonen-version of Gantz.
both series involve a "game" with real lives at stake set up by some mysterious person while the main character tries to beat the game for their freedom or other goals.
Good drawing, good story line. Similar to Gantz, they get teleported to a different world and have to fight unknown monsters

Both involve traveling to a different world. Both have pretty good plots as well.

After finishing this review, I realized I compared Psyren to Gantz a lot. Sorry 'bout that.
Story: Psyren's story isn't exactly the most original of sorts. I'm sure that if you've read Gantz, you wouldn't like Psyren (unless you prefer Shounen over Seinen). Psyren is about your typical, cocky, rebel, Yoshina, who wants to change the world. Rumors start going around about this weird world called Psyren, and people start disappearing if they find the Psyren ca...lling card. As you might have guessed, Yoshina gets a Psyren card and gets transported to Psyren, a world in which they have to fight monsters to survive. After overcoming whatever obstacle awaits inside Psyren, they have to place their Psyren card inside a phone booth to get themselves transported to their own world. Like Gantz, they can be free from going back between worlds if they use up all of their points on their calling card (they get points for successfully completing a level/mission/whatever you wanna call it). It is so similar to Gantz that it is almost scary. Like in Gantz where they get a super-suit when they get transported to the new world, in Psyren they get a power called Psi. Aforementioned, the story isn't the most original one, but it can still be interesting enough to hold the reader's attention. Also, it is a weekly release so if you enjoy it, you won't have to wait so long for new chapters.
Art: The art isn't bad. Sometimes it can be a bit confusing as to what is going on, but it is pretty much straightforward like most Shounen manga. (or at least most that I've read)
Character: Development isn't that great. We do get a brief background on some characters, but not in-depth descriptions. There will most likely be more background stuff later on (hopefully). The characters can be like able as well. You've got the average main group...2 guys and a girl...the cocky, "I can't lose" guy, the smart and strong girl, and the strong, but softy guy.
Enjoyment: Well, my enjoyment for this manga is pretty good. Sometimes it can be a bit slow, but at other times it is quite an enjoyable manga to read. Overall, Psyren may look like a Shounen remake of the Seinen manga Gantz, but it is still a decent manga that is worth giving a shot.
