Yo, I don't think that that new Gantz/OSAKA is a novel, after all!
This is because it also states that there will be a new novel, written by so and so, though nothing is known of the plot, completely seperate from that whole Osaka thing. And I looked around a bit, and it seems someone who can read Japanese (he single-handedly translates the spoilers, and he describes each chapter pretty much perfectly, before it comes out in English), is saying that this will be a 3-volume compliation about the Osaka-team/arc. The first volume comes out October, the second, November, and the last, December. And, that there will be a special 50-page COMIC chapter that focuses purely on the Osaka team (I guess background and info and stuff), per volume I think. And I guess the main bulk of it is about the actual Osaka arc itself, fixing minor mistakes and improving the art. Most likely it'll show the panels between Oka and Nuri when Nuri left to go after him, as well.
Either way, this is most likely not a novel, but a comic done by none other than Oku himself.
IF IT IS, I'LL BE SO DAMN EXCITED, SHIT, I DON'T EVEN KNOW FOR SURE YET, BUT I'M STILL EXCITED. I'LL PISS MY FACE IF THIS IS TRUE.
Also, when I saw "Gantz/Osaka", I thought "damn, that's the same type of title that the "Gantz/Minus" had. However, my retarded ass looked back at one of the Gantz volumes, and it, too, said "Gantz/1." Meaning that's just how Oku originally does the titles, and that wasn't something specific to the novel.
Here's where I got all my info from (be careful, this place and one of the threads I'm about to link you to has spoilers for the new chapter, it came out but I don't think it's translated yet):

(^ That's the last page from the new chapter itself, talking about the Osaka arc).
If you somehow have a more definitive answer to this, feel free to correct me. I'd rather be disappointed now, than later. =/
Holy crap, this is awesome. <3 <3 <3. It's time, Oka, it's time, my love.
