This is exactly the plot for ALL YOU NEED IS KILL!
The hero lives in a constant loop from the day before his death and must do everything to change his fatal future. In just 17 chapters, we follow through the magnificent arts of Obata Takeshi - designer of the acclaimed Death Note - the result of the protagonist's effort to study, train and adapt for tomorrow's battle by living the same day hundreds of times.
The constant repetition of exactly same events of that day, makes food lose its taste, jokes humor, people charisma and life meaning. Kiriya Keiji is used to death just like someone is used to play videogames. With the evolution of his training and learning from his mistakes, becomes a cold and listless warrior.
The Full Metal Bitch - Rita Vrataski, an American considered to be the triumph of humanity in the fight against the Mimics, due to her skills with a giant ax - is Keiji's main inspiration to keep her spirit and mind alive.
Obata's gigantic drawings, with facial "zooms" in the protagonists' expressive features, details in the exoskeletons, explosions and blows filling the top of the page to the bottom, transforming the manga into a "portfolio of drawings" for those reading . As if it were a Light Novel with illustrations in every corner.
The short, straightforward plot does not give space to work relationships between members of the army, or even care about their deaths. But , you do have some LITTLE light background shots of characters goals, ideals, and personalities, that could lead for some bigger and deeper development if the workd had more chapters.
As a video game player, dying several times before defeating the big boss, AYNIK is a work of insistence and self-teaching with a lot of action, gore and a message about how valuable life is and the little moments to be enjoyed.
