If you are selected by the enigmatic black sphere known as the Gantz, you are already dead—yet there may still be a way to regain your life. The Gantz requires you to carry out violent and disturbing missions, hunting aliens concealed within the human population. This is your only opportunity, and you have no alternative but to participate in this unsettling game. Should you die a second time—and the likelihood is high—it will be final.
