Staff Picks (June): Kill la Kill

The long awaited release of Kill la Kill by Udon is finally here!

Ryuko Matoi, a drifter transfer student determined to find her father's murderer, leads to conflict at Honnouji Academy where elite students have been gifted superhuman power by use of special uniforms. When Ryuko clashes with the student body while looking for answers, it triggers events that warrant after-school detention, and may cause the world to fold altogether. Whether it's the spirited art style, intense pacing, or the over-the-top battles that drives this series, Kill la Kill pushes it all to the edge. Kill la Kill seeks to define the limits of awesome, bursts through them, and by the time you pick your jaw off the floor, you will be smacked in the face again with another volley of mind-boggling action.

Written by Kazuki Nakashima of the hit manga series Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and illustrated by Ryo Akizuki, this the one size fits all when it comes to a fun, action-filled ride with tons of slapstick humor that will knock your socks off!
