Gantz

A pair of high school students, Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato, are seemingly run over by a subway train, after saving the life of a homeless drunk who had fallen onto the tracks. Following their untimely deaths, Kei and Masaru find themselves transported—alive and well—along with a number of people who have also just died, to the interior of an unfurnished Tokyo condominium from which the Tokyo Tower may be seen—and none of them are able to leave. At one end of the room is a featureless black sphere we later learn is called "Gantz". By way of green text that appears on the surface of the sphere, Gantz informs those present that their lives have ended. The following words appear on the black sphere's surface: "Your lives have ended. What you do with your new lives is entirely up to me. That's the theory, anyway." (The ADV translations have it as "Your lives are over, you bastards. What you do with your new lives is entirely up to me. So there you have it.") The sphere then opens up to reveal suits that, when worn, amplify the user's attributes, such as strength, speed and agility. Along with the suits are various high-tech weapons with different uses for different situations. Next, information on the Gantz Targets appear on the surface of the sphere, shortly before the Gantz Team are transported to the location of the mission.

In addition to the weapons, suits, and scanners, Gantz holds what appears to be a muscle-bound bald man on life support in the center of the ball. The true identity and purpose of this man is never revealed. The series consistently introduces new characters. Most of them are killed off almost as quickly as they appear, though at times a stable cast of veterans forms.

Later in the manga, some of Gantz's participants obtain over 100 points and use their points to revive various fallen persons, like Tae Kojima and Masaru Kato. Kei Kurono, however, is convinced by his comrades and Kato to use his points to set himself free, the result being that his memory is erased. Kurono then returns to his former life, without any memory at all of his experiences during the past few the months, in which he had been participating in the Gantz game. However, Kurono stumbles upon various clues of his past life such as photographs of him and Tae and rumors of him going out with Reika. These forgotten memories begin to haunt him immediately after his return.

It is later confirmed in the manga that Gantz teams of other nationalities exist in the world. This is confirmed in Issue 229, in a dialog between Izumi and Nishi, when the latter asks if they should leave it to the other countries, and Izumi responds that he wishes to show the world Japan's greatness. There has been hints of a central black sphere located in Germany, but nearly all information regarding it is still in speculation. (Wikipedia)
