    I found this manga adaptation of Takeuchi's "All You Need is Kill," itself the inspiration for underrated Tom Cruise / Emily Blunt sci-fi thriller "Edge of Tomorrow," engaging, but hard to read. Though translated to English, it wasn't reformatted for the Western reader. Though I tried to train my eyes to read in the proper direction, I had difficulty adapting to the format and decoding the dense imagery offered by the book.
