Dark Horse to Publish GANTZ

Dark Horse has finally made their licensing of the Gantz manga official. For those of us who love the tale of the terror sphere, this is good news, as it’s always good to read the original manga that inspired our favorite anime titles. The tentative target date for the first volume is summer 2008.

Gantz follows the relatively brutal story of an evolving group of people who may all be dead, forced to do the dirty work of a mysterious black sphere that provides assassination targets, weapons, and scores for each of the “players,” but no answers.

Thanks to Manga News for the heads-up. For the full press release, go here.
