All You Need Is Kill
Keiji Kiriya is a new recruit in the United Defense Force, fighting against the alien Mimics that have invaded Earth. Equipped with a powered combat suit called a Jacket, he is sent to the battlefield with little training and dies on his very first deployment.
Instead of staying dead, he wakes up the day before the battle, forced to relive the same fight and his own death over and over. Trapped in a time loop triggered by his demise, Keiji must use each repetition to sharpen his skills and find a way to break the cycle.
His only lead is Rita Vrataski, an elite soldier known as the Full Metal Bitch, whose own experience with the loop may hold the key to survival. Together, they face the relentless Mimics in a desperate attempt to change the future.
