| Engaging story and amazing art. What else could a man want? Shame it was that short. |

| I'm trying to even imagine what would've happened in Keiji died instead of Rita. The loop probably would've still happened for him, as he's died countless times already. I think Rita knew the only way to escape the loop was for her to die and no one else. Sol_Ou said: I wish this gets animated. It was just too good. And yoooooooooooo! His name's Killer Cage! That's so damn beastly! I just loved this. Too bad it's over now. Hopefully it gets a sequel. It probably won't be. Thank that godawful bastardization Tom Cruise movie for it. |
| Life can be cruel and unfair. At worst it can traumatize and cripple you. The desire for wanting things to return to the way they were can cost everything and changes nothing. The best way is to keep moving forward, struggle on. Anger can be powerful but can only get you so far. Let people into your life even if some of them leave you in time. Fight. Like. Hell. For everything and everyone you love. Always. |
| The end was kinda weak considering the dynamite beginning. But all in all it was an excellent work. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| Why did rita have to die :(( Was a good read, but wish it had a happy ending. |
| This was a very enjoyable read, I wish it was a bit longer to flesh out some of the other characters but overall I'd give it an 8/10. |
 |
| Good one. 9/10. The manga was done with good art and good moments, but Edge of Tomorrow improved upon it a lot more. Didn't get what the antenna stuff was about, but I am sure that just like in the manga, in the movie, Bill Cage became an antenna himself. I am pretty sure that the movie was itself adopted manga style at times, just like this one.  Atleast the LN gave rise to a great movie. One of the finest Light novel adaptations to a movie. Tom Cruise should seriously act in some more LN adaptations. Got to check out the LN when I have the time. RIP Bill Paxton. |
 Without change,we end up becoming the very person we hate. I was dead until the moment I met you. I was a powerless corpse pretending to be alive. Living without power, without the ability to change my course, was bound to lead me to a slow death. |
| damn this manga was pretty good. the guys that freed him and let him collect his medal must have been super high up (and probably related to the people that did experiments on ritas brain) since he did still kill a fellow soldier |
 |
| The ending was so sad. RIP Rita T.T The art gave me nostalgic Death Note vibes, especially the hair. And when Keiji realized what was happening to him. But considering that the mimics found a way to kill of Rita so quickly, wouldn't the same happen to Keiji sometime after the story finished? Who's the mimic who comes up with all the strategies? Ugh, this needs a sequel. |

| Chapter 17 - Sky Blue So they did sleep together that day, there's only one bed there. Obata art is pretty good, I liked the story too even tough is rushed. And the characters are pretty good too. The setting seems rushed but is still enjoyable. Overall a great experience. Wanting to see the movie now and see if it's better or worse. 8/10 |
| Pretty easy and enjoyable read. Great concept, unfortunately it wasn't utilized to to it's fullest, still had way more pros than cons. The ending was memorable and tbh, I had to hold back tears, even tho there was hardly any time to get invested in their relationship, but the bit we got was well done. 7,5/10 overall. Would like to give an 8, but it's rather a 7 due to the minor shortcomings. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I cannot believe the amount of people praising this manga!! Unbelievable! The relationship was forced and the aliens' motives were not explained at all. Aside from the art by Takeshi Obata, everything else was average or below. Interesting concept, but bad execution. |
Optigisa said: I cannot believe the amount of people praising this manga!! Unbelievable! The relationship was forced and the aliens' motives were not explained at all. Aside from the art by Takeshi Obata, everything else was average or below. Interesting concept, but bad execution. i agree on the relationship being quite meh, they should have gave us more time to see how kiriya slowly develop feelings for rita tho i have to disagree on your second point as the alien motives are acually kinda stated, they are simply to poison the earth for humans and make it beneficial for them which is presented as a theory and not a sure fact. i think the less we know about the aliens the better especially for such a short series as it creates a sence of fear of the unknown. junji ito for example never explain things about the monsters in his stories which in turn make them more horrifying. and as much as i liked the art, the action pannels are confusing af which make them hard to follow . it could have been much better if it wasn't too short. |

| This manga was quite the experience! Even though it was only 17 chapters, it still managed to be just as great and enjoyable as other really good manga that span hundreds more. It's tragic that they weren't able to find a way to get out of the time loop together but it's nice that Keiji's hard work finally paid off. It's Killer Cage's turn to take on the mantle of being the world's hope in the Valkyrie's stead. Rita can finally rest in peace after having done so much for humanity alone and experiencing the feeling of love and relief at her very last moments. The final series of pages were absolutely heartwrenching and beautiful that I couldn't help but tear up over it regardless of where I was reading. Loved it! |
 |
| nice ending, glad they didn't make them both survive - one always has to die- and escape the loop. Overall, good short story |
| “Life is a constant process of dying.” |
| Those short chapters already implied that it'll a bitter ending. But i still kept hoping that it'll be a wholesome one. I really hate bitter endings god damn it (T_T) |
 |
| Honestly not a fan of the ending. Still a nice read tho |
 |
| rest in peace Rita damn ye Edge of Tomorrow movie did it better since it has a happy ending unlike this one but still this short manga is great |
| Well it was inevitable that only one of them will survive,glad it was keiji.Was a bit short but overall was a really good read. |
 |
| The story was interesting. The time loop thing was what made me read more of it. The ending was sad but they ended it reay well ❤ My score will 8/10 👌 |
 Just a guy with a unique mind ✌ |
| Okay. This series has some serious pacing issues. The slow then fast then steady pacing felt really inconsistent. Characters are somehow pretty decent. I think the loops just need more elaboration and I can symphatize with him. The art is pretty good but the fights most of the time are hard to follow. Some parts felt kinda contrived especially on the sudden focus on volume 2. The romance is pretty fine setting aside the pacing and contrived issue. Boy meets girl on the battlefield > solitude that only they, each other, can understand > sacrifice for the sake of "saving Keiji" and human race. Like I said, the pacing of this felt somewhat rushed especially at the end. The romance part is kinda forced but slightly reasonable enough. This would be pretty good if it more 3 or 4 volumes and they focused on their relationship earlier than this. Overall, it's a pretty fine read considering it's just a short series. 6/10. |

| As expected, she knew she was the one that had to go. Curious if he can still use Return By Death. In a regular person's time, seeing Keiji on the battlefield and teaming up with Rita of all people must've been mind-blowing to them. Considering that Keiji still has the power to loop will someone have to kill him as well to end the war. I'm sure he won't die easily but his death seems inevitable if it turns out he is a back up antenna. Or perhaps I'm overthinking. Anyway, this was a good manga. |
