Viz Media's literary imprint Haikasoru has acquired a graphic novel based on Hiroshi Sakurazaka's All You Need Is Kill, a new translation of Battle Royale, and a collection of essays about the hit dystopian action/adventure.

The imprint's first original graphic novel, All You Need Is Kill is an adaptation of the sci-fight light novel that inspired the upcoming Tom Cruise film Edge of Tomorrow. In it, a new recruit for the United Defense Force is killed during his first sortie to battle invading aliens, only to be caught in a time loop that seems him reborn each morning only to die again and again. Adapted by Nick Mamatas (Move Under Ground) and illustrated by Lee Ferguson (Green Arrow, Miranda Mercury), the book arrives May 6.

In time for the 15th anniversary of Koushun Takami's influential novel, which as spawned manga and film adaptations and numerous imitators, Haikasoru will release Battle Royale: Remastered, and The Battle Royale Slam Book: Essays on the Cult Classic Novel by Koushun Takami, a collection of essays by some of today's best sci-fi, horror and thriller writers. Both will be released April 1.

“Battle Royale remains one of the biggest novels to ever come out of Japan and nearly 15 years after its initial publication, the controversy and discussions surrounding it continue, " Mamata, the imprint's editor, says in a statement. "Fans won’t want to miss Battle Royale: Remastered and the companion The Battle Royale Slam Book, featuring insightful essays by some of the West’s most important popular fiction writers and cult filmmakers on the global impact of the novel, the associated theatrical films and manga series, the controversies they caused, and the title’s place in the larger pop culture pantheon!”
