Gantz series creator Hiroya Oku noted in Miracle Jump Magazine that the series would be ending soon. The 24th issue of Young Jump Magazine this year, announced that the title will be ending in two more chapters.

Gantz is a hyper-violent manga that follows Kei Kurono after his death as he and others are pulled into missions by a mysterious orb. Gantz has also inspired two live-action movies and an anime series. Dark Horse publishes the manga in English.

Just don't end it like in the movie.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I should probably get to reading this soon. I heard that there are many differences between the anime and manga.

I don't care about the milking the manga talk, I am looking at the new chapter and I don't see how two chapters should suffice to end it an appropriate way unless they are 30+ pages long.

The first movie was quite bad, how was the second one?

I stopped reading at vol32. Story was getting more absurd each volume and most importantly that pacing was almost insulting. I am glad it is ending!

Ha, so that confirms it. In the manga thread, I was wondering Gantz would end in the next two chapters or just that one arc would end. Still, too many characters need proper conclusion. Oku, please don't let it ends like

Trollers be trollin,

Anyway I thought it was going to end 5 or so chapters ago, so this is expected. The manga was far better than the anime but it feels like it's been dragging on too much in this arc :/ Hopefully it ends well.

Tae is not the main problem but rather the deus ex machina nature of the Final Arc itself. All of us expected it to be the best arc, but it was a little too rush on certain parts and too dragged out on others. Final arc can be summarized like this: first part-excellent; second part-still great; third part- wtf. Anyways, I do not bother by it anymore. Lets enjoy the party and give Gantz a proper farewell.

It more or less just turned into a trainwreck after the 100-pointer arc.

Oku must be getting seriously bored and desperate if he's trying to end it in two chapters.

It's irritating because I remember when Gantz used to be the one manga I really looked forward to reading, even if Phase 2 was approximately 50+ chapters of utter garbage with the stupidest alien in the series.

I'm kind of sad and happy that it's going really.

I saw this when finishing the latest chapter today, and it wouldn't surprised me if the last chapter is a huge troll, hell the writing and art for this whole last arc has been very lazy and mediocre. Lots of plot holes will be left by the end of this series, also WTF happen to

I remember when this manga was epic, good ol days, I missed them.
