Synopsis

When high school student Kaname Sudou receives an invitation link from his friend to play a brand-new mobile game called Darwin's Game, he has no idea that it would change his life forever. At first glance, the game looks like a regular fighting game. However, it has a dark truth—the battles are fought one-on-one, and the loser dies in the real world.

Not long after joining the game, Kaname is abruptly matched up against his first opponent. The odds are against him, yet he miraculously comes out victorious. Afraid of his new reality, Kaname attempts to find ways to exit the game and return to his daily life. However, the only method seems to be winning all the given battles. Kaname must now figure out how to stay alive and try to find allies he can count on.

I just watched the anime, and liked it enough to read the manga. If you want my complete review, probably just read that one first. This will just be my review on the manga.
Honestly, I did read bits and pieces of the part that was already adapted, and I can easily tell that the anime was a little too fast paced compared to the manga, cutting out scenes that weren't important, but definitely messed with the "wholeness" of the story a little bit. However, other than that small tidbit, I'd say the anime did a pretty alright job at adapating.
Alright, onto the unadapted part. Honestly, ...

I ill try make an easy way to understand without actual spoilers so here how it goes:
-If you like Gantz, you will love this manga. Trust me.

The story gets deep as they advance the manga, easy to enjoy how the drama develop. Its fun how you think they can't advance more and they give you new stuff to hope for. Even without cliff hangers, they still make you want to read the next one. Its easy to love the characters and to get sad and happy how things happens all around them. Its also pretty easy to see yourself in the story, wondering how would ...
