Cool, didn't know All You Need is Kill had a graphic novel. Maybe trying to coincide with the Tom Cruise movie somewhat? I really hope he doesn't mess it up massively

Don't quite get the point of Battle Royale with an all new translation, I thought they released it not all that long ago... is another Hunger Games movie coming out or something?

It sounds like it's an original graphic novel based on the names attached to it. I'll definitely be picking this up once it comes out. I read the original novel and enjoyed it somewhat. Curious about the movie. I wonder how it it'll turn out?

Second. Haikasoru confirmed on Twitter that their most recent release was a touched up version of the original translation. This "Remastered" edition will feature a completely new translation apparently.
