Gantz, available in English in Tankobon format






Tight black leather + J-Idols = debauched senseless nihilist violence

Gantz is a wonderfully brutal adults-only type of manga (also made into OVA) that revels in its gore and antisocial behavior. Basic story: people who have just died, children and some pets included, are inducted into a sickening game whereas they must defeat demons in public space. No one can see them fight as they are armed with weapons they barely understand for purposes that make no sense. If they kill the demon, they score points towards their release. If they get killed, then they are permanently erased. And with each stage, the odds get worse. I love it.
