Me hice con esta pequeña colección antes de cerrar mi tienda, porque quería aventurarme con un Seinen. Pregunté a Eva, una amiga que es experta en Seinen XD muuucho más que yo. Y lo que me convenció de lo que dijo fue que era una versión de Gantz pero con mujeres como protagonistas. Sabía que no me iba a aventurar con Gantz (y menos con la maximum que era el top en ese momento) así que este sería una buena opción para probar al autor y conocer lo que es Gantz.
Como la colección es muy cortita, voy a hacer review de los tres en uno. El primero ya me lo leí cuando lo compré, pero lo he vuelto a leer para recordar e ir del tirón. Los 3 mangas cuentan la historia de 5 chicas que son compañeras de clase. Van en un autobús, de excursión con toda su clase y cuando este se estrella, la clase entera aparece en una habitación con una esfera negra que habla y da directrices. Eso es Gantz, esa esfera. Creo que las demás series de Gantz van de lo mismo: gente que acaba de morir, aparece en esa habitación, habla con Gantz que le da unas directrices y después son transportados a un lugar en el que, ayudados de unos trajes especiales y armas, tienen que cargarse al final boss.
La trama con ellas me ha gustado mucho. También yo tenía muchas ganas de volver a un manga o anime que me mostrase el Japón del día a día, slices of life y las calles de Tokio. Aunque por supuesto no es un slices of life, sí que me ha dado un poquito (tres tomos no dan para mucho) del ambiente de instituto, en casas típicas o en Shibuya.
Si tuviera que decir algo negativo pues sería lo de siempre, lo machistas que son estos mangas. Es algo que puedo medio “obviar” y apartar para poder disfrutar de la lectura, de no ser así no tendría la grandísima colección que tengo. Pero bueno, a pesar de ello he logrado disfrutar de los tres tomos y decidir que no quiero venderlos y sí quedármelos (que es algo que me estoy planteando últimamente con mis colecciones). Así que, gracias Eva por la recomendación 🖤

La conclusione di questa mini serie ambientata nel mondo di Gatz: le nostre protagoniste sono in un acquario pronte ad affrontare il loro nemico, molto più terribile dei precedenti e dovranno battersi per poter salvare loro stesse e i loro compagni non armati. Avevo detto di temere molto questo finale perché non ho avuto belle esperienze in precedenza per quanto riguarda miniserie di tre volumi, però devo dire che questa ha una bella conclusione che mi ha davvero soddisfatto. Non conclude in maniera definitiva la vicenda ma soddisfa in ogni caso il lettore che sa cosa succederà ai suoi protagonisti che hanno avuto una buona evoluzione nel corso della vicenda e le tre ragazze sono riuscite a crescere, hanno imparato ad agire e sono diventate più unite di prima. Inutile dirlo che mi ha lasciato la curiosità di leggere la serie originale di Gantz, ma intanto direi che questa miniserie può essere una piacevole lettura per fan e non.

This ending was awesome, just a battle throughout, it had me hooked. The mermaid was cool but didn't really feel like a mermaid, apart from being aquatic. There wasn't an awful lot mermaid things about her, she didn't have a siren song or fins.
The ending wasn't quite what I imagined but was a welcome surprise, probably going to have to read the main series now.
Series review
Honestly there isn't much to say about this series, it's a fun action romp. You never really get to know much about each character aside from the basics, which has some pay offs in this volume.
But in something like this, that isn't essential, I just enjoyed the ride.

Mentiría si dijera que este volumen no me hizo recordar al Gantz original, especialmente con Kei llorando al reencontrarse con su amado. Sinceramente, para este tipo de historias soy una persona sencilla: no pido mucho y este volumen me dio exactamente lo que quería. Las peleas fueron adrenalínicas y el jefe final tuvo un diseño muy bien logrado. Quizá exageré al querer que mataran a todas en el volumen anterior, pero sigo sintiendo que tanto trasfondo en tan poco tiempo fue innecesario. Aun así, agradezco haber podido volver a entretenerme un rato en este mundo tan sádico.

Volume 3: Chapter 13-18 (END)
As expected, Abiko and Fujimoto, the most experienced members died just like that. The mission quite interesting. The mermaid alien remind me of the Nurarihyon alien. It can shapeshifting but the mermaid alien can imitates weapon. That so cool.
The girls are quite badass in this mission. They managed to complete the mission.
Overall, Gantz: G is just mediocre. Not thrill as the original one.

This is the last volume in this spin off. I was wondering why the monster was so hard to beat.
I really like Gantz, and want to read the original series soon.
I liked each volume though with a decently sized cast I couldn't remember anyone's name and also felt no connection with any of the characters.

This short Gantz spin off series felt quite plain. Probably because of its lenght, I couldn't feel any suspense out of it. Exactly when things were starting to pick up, the last volume ended out of nowhere. I only read it because it's short.

If you’re looking into getting into Gantz but threatened by the over 30 volumes of material, I highly recommend giving Gantz:G a shot.
It’s a shorter compact experience to get into the series
But for Gantz fans (like myself) it’s a great side story that scratches that itch for more Gantz

Està molt per sota de la sèrie original. Tot massa fàcil, tot se supera,... pocs persontages provoquen simpaties...

A mi entender, supera en calidad a la obra original

All around the three volumes were a very fun read but it does end abruptly.

This spinoff was kind of a throwaway. Nothing special compared to the original series.

A Familiar Yet Divergent Foray into the Gantz Universe
Gantz:G emerges as a spin-off from Hiroya Oku's renowned Gantz series, offering readers an alternate narrative that mirrors the original's core themes while introducing new characters and scenarios. Serialized from November 2015 to February 2017 in Miracle Jump, this three-volume series endeavors to capture the essence of its predecessor but delivers a mixed experience.
The storyline centers on a group of high school students who, following a fatal bus accident, find themselves in a mysterious room dominated by a black sphere known as Gantz. Tasked with confronting and eliminating alien entities, these novices must navigate the treacherous landscape of life, death, and moral ambiguity. While the premise echoes the original Gantz, the characters' development feels somewhat truncated due to the series' brevity. This limitation results in a lack of depth, making it challenging for readers to form strong connections with the protagonists.
Visually, Keita Iizuka's illustrations pay homage to Oku's distinctive style, effectively capturing the intense action sequences and grotesque alien designs that fans have come to expect. However, some readers might find the artwork less refined compared to the original series, potentially detracting from the overall immersion.
Thematically, Gantz:G revisits familiar motifs such as survival, ethical dilemmas, and the human condition when faced with otherworldly threats. Yet, the series struggles to introduce novel insights or expand significantly upon these concepts, leading to a sense of redundancy for those well-versed in the Gantz universe.
In conclusion, Gantz:G serves as a competent extension of the original series, offering moments of intrigue and action that align with the established world. However, its condensed format and reliance on pre-existing themes result in a narrative that, while entertaining, lacks the depth and innovation that could have elevated it beyond a mere echo of its predecessor.
