Is Gantz:E the same as the original? Well yes but actually no.

This story takes place in the feudal era of Japan wich is a very interesting setting for the sci-fi genre of Gantz. This really works in favor of the story, it gives it a fresh feeling so it doesnt feel like a bad rip off from the original manga.

The artwork for the manga is very sharp and clean, some panels made me pause just to look at the amazing artwork. It has the same feel as the original work but the feudal aesthetic mixed with high tech really makes it stand out.

The characters are ... lacking in this story, the MC looks like a taller version of Kei Kurono but stronger and more confident in his skills and power. This will take away a lot of character development for the MC wich made Kei in gantz so well written. We can predict what kind of hardships he is going to have to go through so maybe there will be some ways to improve in that section. The side characters are actually really enjoyable and feel different.

If you liked Gantz i highly suggest you read this. It's a fun read and after 14 chapters i'm already invested in this story


I give this manga a 7/10,


Thank you for reading.

As a fans, i don't mind if author milking this franchise. I even enjoy Gantz G but not this manga.

First it's setting to shogunate era contradict with event of Gantz origin which is originate from sick young girl German aristocrat who got vision to create mathematical advance to build Gantz.

Another thing it's contradict which is there's no time travel or alternate universe from original series. So who build those tech for them? It's breaking the lore of Gantz itself

What I imagine is they should use low tech technology to fight against those alien (Japanese youkai)

Second, the story itself is rushed. In original Gantz, it takes ... 15 chapter just to kill onion alien but Gantz E straight to boss fight which destroy character growth for side characters

The art is amazing but the pacing has to be the worst in any manga I’ve ever read. Plot is almost nonexistent and it is frustrating how slowly, what little of a story Gantz E has, progresses; even after waiting many months between chapters and reading them all at once like I’ve been doing. Still, it’s good for Gantz fans who are fine with little more than eye-candy. I can’t call it a serious manga but more of a treat. I wish very much that there was more characterization and I hope that it ends soon instead of lingering as a zombie manga where almost ... nothing new occurs after months.
