Our protagonist is shy by nature, and soon after transferring schools, he gets into mountain climbing - this is a rather traditional setup, but that’s not all there is to it. Yet Kokou no Hito is different in a way, since the whole manga focuses on Mori Buntarou’s mentality, and his alone. I think it should first be mentioned that expecting a traditional sports manga when going into it is a mistake the series is more akin to titles like Ping Pong, where the actual sport takes a backseat to the exploration of the cast. to the scenarios that our protagonist faces. That's where Kokou no Hito shines, as it manages to tell the story solely through its astonishingly utilized visuals - be it the visualization of psychological struggle or metaphorical imagery that adds a symbolic layer While manga, like anime, is a visual medium, most works don't utilize their visuals to full extent, only going as far as to present scenarios in a very bare-bones and basic manner. While the amount of dialogue in-series isn’t exactly low, the main character speaks rarely throughout the whole manga yet that is its biggest feat. But wait, a god? Maybe you are talking about that big black ball stuck in the room with you.The saying ‘’A picture paints a thousand words’’ is truly exemplified by this manga. There is no salvation, peace, nor god waiting to receive you into their care. Thought your life was bad? Sometimes, death is worse.
Both the manga and anime are noted for their heavy violence and sexual content. Gantz tells the story of Kei Kurono and Masaru Kato, both of whom died in a train accident and become part of a semi-posthumous “game” in which they and several other recently deceased people are forced to hunt down and kill aliens armed with a handful of futuristic items, equipment, and weaponry. Gantz (Japanese: ガンツ Hepburn: Gantsu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiroya Oku.
