Are you kidding me? Gantz is like a PG-13 version of Yu-Yu Hakusho. If that’s what you consider horror manga, then I can only assume your no older than 10. Alive is a good series. I don’t consider it hard core horror, but it does have a rather eerie element to it. The situation is somewhat believable in an unbelievable sense. Basically meaning that it sets you in a place that you can relate to. In modern times, with school kids being school kids. Then all of a sudden something happens, and you get to watch real people dealing with an 'unreal' situation. I find that rather freaky. It’s sort of like (if you will) X-Men meets Cloverfield. You have a life situation, and an unrealistic event (Cloverfield) and then people with abilities that have been given to them through this virus, which is like being a mutant I suppose (x-men). Normally, I never read things like this. I am strictly a Shojo fan though I dabble in everything and what I read varies greatly, I still mainly stick to Shojo.

I admit i'm a Horror/Gore lover.... I love horror mangas.... but the ones that don't put the own characters to shame. This one is so stupid, plays such comedy with the characters that isn't even a Horror manga (I truly don't know why they rated Alive as a Horror manga...). This is complete shounen!! It's a shame to the horror mangas. If the author wanted to show the manga as a shonen manga, then congratulations. If the author wanted this to be a horror manga.... I say quit the business.... REAL horror mangas are Gantz (currently my favourite) and Battle Royale. Escuse me the language but, this is one of the biggest pieces of crap I’ve ever seen (and i’ve seen alot).
