Well, that was an interesting variation on the novel's ending.
So, the final chapter of All You Need Is Kill had been published last week, and I've been debating whether I should post my impressions on the manga before or after watching Edge of Tomorrow. Part of it was me wanting to see every iteration on the story so I'd be able to give a more informed opinion on the franchise as a whole. I had already read the novel before the manga started back in 2011, and re-read it again right before the final chapter came out, so my perspective on this particular adaptation had already been skewed to see what would be changed or made different by the mangaka duo (or just Obata-sensei, since I'm not entirely sure how much involvement Takeuchi-sensei had overall given how little attention he had received). I ended up putting Edge of Tomorrow off for another day, however, since I didn't want to get sidetracked from talking about the manga itself. Impressions on the Manga Spoiler for The Story: 7/10:
Spoiler for The Art: 8/10:
Spoiler for Comparison with the Light Novel:
I liked this manga. It told a competent story with and interesting premise and sympathetic characters. I thought it had some hiccups here and there, but nothing that made me feel like it stumbled and lost sight of what it was trying to achieve. I really enjoyed reading it and hope that the sequel novel ends up getting a manga by the same creative team. 7.5/10 overall.
