Kafka wants to clean up kaiju, but not literally! Will a sudden metamorphosis stand in the way of his dream?
With the highest kaiju-emergence rates in the world, Japan is no stranger to attack by deadly monsters. Enter the Japan Defense Force, a military organization tasked with the neutralization of kaiju. Kafka Hibino, a kaiju-corpse cleanup man, has always dreamed of joining the force. But when he gets another shot at achieving his childhood dream, he undergoes an unexpected transformation. How can he fight kaiju now that he’s become one himself?!
Kafka hopes to one day keep his pact with his childhood friend Mina to join the Japan Defense Force and fight by her side. But while she’s out neutralizing kaiju as Third Division captain, Kafka is stuck cleaning up the aftermath of her battles. When a sudden rule change makes Kafka eligible for the Defense Force, he decides to try out for the squad once more. There’s just one problem—he’s made the Defense Force’s neutralization list under the code name Kaiju No. 8.

Reviews
My review for kaiju no. 8
"I love the story. I saw this manga on youtube so i got it. The story is very interesting. Ive been a godzilla fan for so long, and i love anime, so when i found out that this manga is about godzilla i wanted to read it. The art is good like a 8. 5 out of 10, but i like how in the front cover extends to the back cover for the cover. And thats all i guess."

This was so much fun! Kafka Hibino is a whole ass mess, but in the best way! He’s chaotic and funny as hell. The story is a great mix of action and humour and I’m invested!
"I absolutely love the art work and the pacing of the story!"
— Shawny (5/5)
MUST READ

Awesome Manga
"I watched the anime first and then read the manga, i love both!"
— Cal88 (5/5)
New to manga and I love it
"Great opening to a story of redemption and acceptance of oneself. The designs and characters are standard for a manga but the heart and soul the author puts in bleeds through the pages. You can't help but root for every single one of the characters introduced."
— Multiverse9812 (5/5)
