Xavier-kun's Manga Review : All you need is kill by Takeshi Obata,Hiroshi Sakurazaka and Ryousuke Takeuchi




















Konnichiwa!!
Hello my fellow otaku, It's Xavier-kun here with a review of the new manga All You Need is Kill! The manga follows the life Keiji Kiriya, a soldier in the earths army against the alien species known only as "Mimics". But the twist is that on our hero's first day of fighting on the front lines... he dies... and then wakes up exactly the day before his deployment. So the story follows Keiji as he is constantly dying and being reborn and gaining more experience along the way.

Art
The Art for All You Need is Kill is amazing to say the least, and it is clearly made the one and only Takeshi Obata(the artist of Death Note, Bakuman, Ral Ω Grad and Hikaru no Go). Really I don't need to say anything else but I will anyways, THE ART IS AMAZING, you may think that I am over-exaggerating but I truly don't think so.
Look at the composition, the balance, the proportions, the mech armor, but most notably the immaculate screen tone work. As a manga artist in training this makes me so encouraged and inspired to work hard, it's pretty easy when you have such a great artist to look up to.





















Story/Plot
The story is incredible, It's actually so good that this manga is an adaptation based off of the light novel series. That is enough proof that the story is amazing, it literally was selling thousands of copies by itself.

Final Remarks
Read it because it's amazing and deep and enticing. 10/10 I had no problems with this manga I loved the characters and the world.
Also after you read it watch the trailer for the Hollywood rendition of it. It is yet again, complete garbage, don't watch it when it comes out, it is a disgrace to anime/light novels/live action/life. (you would think they would stop after Dragon Ball Z Evolution)
