Güzel bir manga ancak ben sürekli aynı zaman diliminin yaşandığı kurgu tarzından pek hoşlanmıyorum.

Keiji is soldier in war against the Mimics, deadly aliens that have managed to gain control over the large part of Earth. During his first fight against Mimics Keiji ends up in time loop - every time he gets killed this very day starts over again and again .... and again.
After several iterations Keiji figures out that he needs to use this time loop in most productive way - making himself more proficient in combat. Otherwise he will just go crazy with each iteration. And so he starts to learn from his sergeant and slowly accumulating tactical knowledge for fighting against the Mimics.
As story slowly moves on Keiji finds out that he is not the only one caught in the loop - mysterious girl fighting as part of US forces seems to recognize him.
Art is good, although all characters seem to be way too lanky. At moments action scenes are bit confusing - too many things going on - but being drawn in very clear way one can discern top from bottom.
Highly recommended to fans of action adventure stories.

This manga surprises me . But the moust part that surprise me is the Drawings. But let’s talk about the book
The story with not spoilers is Keith that is a soldier that admired a Rita that is the best soldier of the unity. And Keigi admired Rita and want to be like shi . But une day Keigi discovers that he is Tran in a time loop. Then Keigi needs to learn to survive to trie to break the Rime loop.
And this is the argument and then letmi say the Good points and the bad points.

Good
- The Drawins
- The rhythm of the story
- The story hooks fast.
- Is sow fast to read you can read in lees that 4 days with is my case.
- Some character development
Bad
- The characters are ok but for the moment don’t are memorable.
- The design of the enemies.
- Not all the characters has a character development
And after all I recommended this story to read and letmi se if the second time is much better that this story.
I recommend read this story if you like the stories they has time loops or you are a fan of the Science fiction.
This story is short and not heavi.

This is my first time reading a manga. And I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
The earth is invaded by monstrous creatures called Mimics. Mimics are not only taking over nations but also are trying to destroy man-kind. Soon they overtake Japan and that's when the story starts.
Our main character Keiji joins as soldier trying to help his people.' On his first day of battle a mimic kills him and Keiji wakes up from his sleep. Thinking of this as a dream he joins his fellow teammates to fight the
Mimics, only to die again. Soon Keiji realizes that he is stuck in a time loop, where the day he died would keep repeating unless he makes out alive from his first battle.
The story was unique. And it was really fast paced. As most of it contained Keiji trying to get out of the time loop, I thought a lot of scenes will be repeated. But that did not happen as Keiji was trying to survive differently each and everytime. The only problem was there was not a lot of character development going on. But still as this was the first manga I read, it did not disappoint me.

better than the movie
This was my first manga book, once I got used to the reading direction I couldn't put my iPad down. I read through the story very quickly.
I would have given this 5-stars but the reading experience on kindle was wonky. I found it disrupted me to have to adjust the view just so I could read the dialog. This occurred toward the second half of the book more than the first because there seemed to be more dialog. In the middle of the screen. This would crop the dialog off in awkward places.
