I'm willing to bet it was either a translation error or Oku wrote it like that. He's not exactly a master of continuity.
It could have been something in Japenese like, "A while ago" or something that can mean different lengths of time and the translator just generalized. Though, until we get an official copy from Dark Horse we'll probably never know.

Yeah, there are similar contradictions elsewhere in the manga, like where Katou says he thinks he's 17 or 18, implying that it's been over a year since he was killed in the subway. However, it also says six months passed between Buddha killing him and his revival.

Well, I don't think it would imply that it's been a year. He could have been only a few months, weeks, or even days from his birthday. Based on the number of missions, six months is probably the canon time 'twixt his death and revival. Overall, I'd say the entire series has happened over the course of just under a year. Mostly based on the fact that Kurono went from wearing his jacket at school, to not wearing it, and is now wearing it again. My Japanese culture is a little rusty, but I think they change uniforms based on the season.

Yep, they do.
But wasn't Katou younger than 17 when he and Kurono first entered Gantz? I can't remember...
Oh, and I was wrong; it was over 6 months between Nishi's death and his revival.

Second chapter spoiler below Is it just me or is Miporin just a dumb bitch? She says that there is no point in staying within the game without Knob-yan, so she chose choice number one and just left the game. Couldn't she just revive him instead?
