No to elfen (those are cat ears and calling them "horns" is a lame excuse) lied and yes to the surreal GantZ if only for its guilty pleasure status as a shonen manga written and drawn as a seinen manga.

I doubt it.
I haven't read Elfen Lied yet (liked the parts of the show I've seen though), but I would like to see Gantz brought over. I've kind of lost my enthusiasm for the series, as it get a bit old, but it's a great read with solid characters and art to back up with over-the-top fun.

I rather not seen Elfen Lied, I thought the anime crap for its many cliche and stock-ish character. I wonder who even care about Elfen Lied any more? Such an average title.
However, Gantz is definitely something that is different and over the top.

I'd rather read Elfen Lied. I kind of wonder what the book version will be like...with all of the blood and stuff. I haven't seen Gantz, so I have no opinion there.

I'm not familiar with Elfen Lied, but I adore Gantz. Would be nice if it was more available (in Norway as well as in the US).

Even if some don't want one or the other, they should just release both anyway.

So true, because both go in a different direction from their Anime Counterparts.

Gantz is freakin awesome! I would love to see Gantz come out in the US although I would like to see someone like Dark Horse put it out because I know they won't change anything or try to "trick it out".

From what I've seen of Elfen Lied, I would really like to see it in a manga.
I must admit that I was (somewhat) turned off by the first episode of Elfen Lied however, after watching episodes 3 to 8, I became hooked. I really like the story.
As for Gantz, I haven't seen any of it in order to form an opinion.

I'd like to see both in the U.S. I've read two volumes of Elfen Lied, and I've read nearly 200 chapters of GANTZ. If I had to choose between one or the other, I'd choose GANTZ.

I'm pretty sure that it was one of they're earlier releases and if you see what kind of job they're doing with Berserk and Hellsing than I can say that most likely they'll handle Gantz pretty well. Hell, as long as it isn't CMX or ADV Manga I would be content.

I would be fine with ADV getting GANTZ and Elfen Leid. They know the target range for both series, and editing eather of to them would kill the their Manga derpartment because no one would buy them.
