Okay, a pretty interesting plot line going on here, but I'll just sum up what I know so I don't spoil it for you.
The sci-fi series is bascially about a group of teens who are recruited (upon their would-be deaths) to hunt down and kill aliens who are living on earth. After each mission, a leet-speaking computer (it actually seems to be a man living inside of a computer), named Gantz, scores their performances. Every so often, Gantz drags some more people into this "game", adding more personalities to the story. As with most manga that center around kids in supernatural situations, the main characters have quite some trouble keeping their normal lives stable and their secrets hidden.
I'll warn, the manga is filled with sexual content and bloodshed, so if your not into that stuff, don't bother. There's also a lot of humor put into this manga so don't think it's a dead-serious type of story. A lot of the jokes are mixed in with the violence and sexual bits.
Overall, the only problem I have with the manga is that I don't really find the characters' personalities very likeable. However, the plot alone is enough to make up for them and keep my interest. I recommend you check out the series if the more racy parts don't bother you.
