Kaiju No. 8 is a manga by Naoya Matsumoto that began serialization back in July 2020. In Japan, the series is serialized in Shonen Jump+, the online manga platform where other popular titles like Spy x Family and Dandadan are released.

This series’ story is set in a world, and most especially Japan, is besieged by kaiju. In response, Japan established the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force.

In the series, childhood friends Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro promise to become part of the Defense Force. While Mina becomes a captain in the Defense Force, Kafka fails to even pass the examination, so he becomes part of the kaiju clean-up crew. Though one day, a small kaiju enters Kafka, and he gains the ability to transform into one.

Kaiju No. 8 will be streamed on Ani-One Philippines beginning on April 13, 2024.

In case you can’t wait, the manga is available in English through Manga Plus.
