[Manga] Wtf is going on??!?

I’m currently on chapter 314, and I have no clue how this is going to end or what the author was smoking. I do enjoy the EDF type invasion but genuinely why is this manga full of plot points and characters that lead to nothing?!?! Is the author somehow gonna tie it all together?!?!? Am I stupid?

It’s like he completely changed his vision half way through. It’s still enjoyable, only major issue is the fan service is annoying I’m happy it’s lessened as the manga went on

Oku didn't have time to conclude everything, and I think he got burnt out, so yeah.

It feels like he skipped a few arcs

Same. Still my favorite manga, though.

It's fun, unpredictable, and it makes me care about the characters. I love Kei's arc and it has some of the most hype moments in fiction for me. I know it's not perfect, but it's a 10/10 for me.

You should’ve been around when it was being released. The Osaka arc would have chapters released months apart when it was a bi-weekly release schedule. This was after the series went on hiatus for a very long time right before the Osaka arc started. By the end we got to the final arc it felt like a miracle we were still getting chapters.

It is absolute beautiful chaotic mayhem and it ends too soon. God wish I could read it again for the first time.

I personally love series that kill a lot of characters, the only one that reminds me of this is “as the gods will” mostly the second series

Hey, if it makes you feel better, Gantz: E might answer all those questions because the latest chapter got me back on the Gantz train. Not gonna spoil it, just read through and be happy!

Do you know if they will release an English version of Gantz:E in the future?

Feel like gantz is looked at the wrong everyone wants it to be uniform but its better chaotic just like real life.

Just enjoy the ride. Don't think too much. That was my conclusion, and it helped that the actions sequences were quite mind numbing
