I love Obata's artwork. I completely forgot that he did Hikaru no Go and after reading this, it made me laugh to think about that.

From Keiji's book and expressions to Rita's design, I definitely saw some flavors of Death Note.

(view spoiler)[Was anyone else a little thrown off by how quickly Keiji goes from wimpy deserter to "axe-murderer with the creepy smile" guy? I thought the character development, the change in him, was just too jarringly sudden. (hide spoiler)]

I liked this book especially because of the artwork. I agree that the story was unexpectangly short. (only about 100 pages) I already saw the movie and I think for me that was really necessary to understand the story.

But I thought it was worth reading because the artwork was so pretty and colourfull :D

I picked up my copy on the first of May. Need to get around to reading it. I'm in here, though, to express confusion over the "100 pages" comment. The version I have is 550 pages, though that's the "complete" work of 2 volumes (since the complete version is the only one translated into English). It would be odd if volume 1 was 100, and volume 2 was 450 pages.

Of course the movie adaptation comic was about 100 pages, but also a different story.

I've seen the film, read the book, and own the manga adaptation of the book, but haven't read it yet, nor the comic adaptation of the movie.

Just started reading this, and I can't believe I haven't already read it. I just hope it continues to be interesting.

I had no idea that the movie Edge of Tomorrow was based off a book. I didn't see the movie cause I guessed the story line based on the previews I had seen.... and I was completely correct in my guess, this book confirm that. It wasn't a bad story, it was an interesting idea and kind of cool but totally predictable. I wish someone would come up with a great idea like this but not have the ending blatantly obvious. That would make me very happy

I see one person read the movie adaptation comic by Nick Mamatas. Curious how it compares to the manga by Hiroshi Sakurazaka & Ryosuke Takeuchi.

The low ratings of the Mamatas comic combined with the fact that I didn't actually like the Tom Cruise movie version has kept me from trying it.

I enjoyed this one. Like others have commented it is quite short, I read Volume 1 & 2 &, still, short story. I found it to be fast-paced, suspenseful, and a pretty unique concept behind all of it. I would have liked to have read some more, but that is really the only complaint I have with this manga.
