All You Need Is KILL wasn’t a killer book (oh boy, I can’t believe I just typed that) for Pop Culture Shock but reviewer Sam Kusek did get a kick out of it, writing in part:
I would say that it did translate very well for an American audience, even while being riddled with talks of green tea, umeboshi eating contests, and samurai jokes…if you are looking for something to read for fun over the summer, pick up All You Need Is KILL.

I like umeboshi!
