Kaiju No. 8

Kaiju No. 8 is set in a world plagued by monstrous creatures known as kaiju. To protect humanity, Japan’s Defense Force battles these threats head-on—but not everyone gets to be on the front lines. Enter Kafka Hibino, a man stuck working in kaiju cleanup, still clinging to the dream of fighting alongside his childhood friend, Mina Ashiro, now a top Defense Force officer.

Everything changes when Kafka is infected by a mysterious kaiju and gains the ability to transform into one himself—code-named 'Kaiju No. 8' by the government. Now harboring the very power he once feared, Kafka walks a dangerous line between monster and man, risking exposure to protect the people he loves.
