Lets Annihilate these Monsters Together!

In a world overtaken by atrocious entities the size of a building dubbed “Kaijus” , humanity’s survival hinges on the Kaiju Defense Corps. Kaiju No. 8 follows Kafka Hibino, a sweeper- no joke. Having wanting to join the “Defense Corps” in hopes of protecting the community ever since he could remember, he comes up short and fails miserably.

He instead opts for a steady job as a Kaiju Sweeper – the people tasked with cleaning up the remains of any Kaiju- and loses all hope that he will ever have his time in the spotlight.

Through a bizarre twist of fate a mini Kaiju Parasite ends up in Kafka’s body, converting his phenotype into one belonging to a Kaiju. This ultimately leads to Kafka being referred to as “Kaiju No. 8”, the pioneer specimen of a new species.
