It was originally published as a miniseries in Weekly Shonen Jump and it finally came out here in the States earlier this week as a two volume omnibus for $14.99. He meets a diverse cast of characters, including the crudely nicknamed “Full Metal Bitch,” Rita Vrataski, who serves as the secondary protagonist in the later half of the story. He is doomed to repeat the cycle until he survives the battle and can no longer be killed. Every time he is killed in his first battle, he wakes up in his bed the day before. He lives in a future where the world is at war with a hive mind alien race called “mimics.” One day, he wakes up and discovers that he is in a Groundhog’s Day time loop. I elected to see the movie, ignore the translated light novel and wait the long agonizing months it took for it to come out in the States.Īll You Need Is Kill features a protagonist by the name of Kenji Kiriya. When I heard that All You Need Is Kill had a manga adaptation published in Shonen Jump, my curiosity got the better of me. Most of the time, I try to seek out original content, but sometimes adaptations can be too good to miss. Most are insubstantial like our paperbacks, but some can prove to be as incredible as classic full length novels. They’re cheap paperback quickies that can be finishing relatively fast. Light novels are exactly what they sound like. I’ve always been a fan of light novel adaptations such as The Meloncholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and Baccano!. I would have ignored action flick Edge of Tomorrow if it wasn’t for the fact that it was based off the Japanese light novel, All You Need Is Kill.
