Been doing some manga reading lately and came across BTOOOM! and realized something, its gantz without the gore, aliens or nudity Similarities: -Life-or-death hunting game -Spoiled, rich main protagonists forced into life-or-death game and become heroes -Jailbait Female Character -Old Man the Main character saves that becomes mentor/ally -Psychopaths that love being in the game -Futuristic Weapons that have different functions Read it hear. Its not that good but eh, lets see if we can come up with more ripoffs! view.thespectrum.net/series/btooom.html

well pretty much all mangas are a "rip-off" of another manga, we could even say that one piece is a rip-off of dragon ball you know? i've checked the manga and it doesnt really give me the gantz feeling, more than gantz i think this manga could ve a rip-off of battle royale (abandoned on a an island, have to kill others to get off, one guy explained the details to the participants, bombs given randomly)

I'm only on page 18, but I already love this manga. Don't see much a Gantz feel to it though.

Don't see much a Gantz feel to it though. exactly, i've already read volume 1, but no gantz feeling, manga is pretty good though till now, we'll see if it turns out any good. Thanks halo! lol, btw is this finished or ongoing or dropped? i'd hate to be the last...

Hell yeah I love Btooom(but I never really sensed a Gantz vibe while reading it) and my friends thought I was the only one suck it made up friends I created to prove my love for a 40 something chapter ongoing manga.But seriously It has to be on my top 50 mangas of all time so far(they could still fuck it up at this point).
