Kaiju No.8

In a world where monsters routinely threaten people, Kafka Hibino had once aspired to join the "Japan Defense Force" to combat these monsters but eventually gave up on his dream and worked unnoticed in a monster-specialized cleaning company. While his childhood friend, Mina Ashiro, who had once vowed with him to exterminate all monsters, shines as the captain of the 3rd unit, Kafka harbors a sense of inadequacy for not being able to fight alongside her. However, his encounter with a junior aspiring to join the Defense Force, Reno Ichikawa, sets the stalled time in motion. To stand beside Mina. To protect people from monsters. Kafka begins to chase his old dream once again. ──But he was unaware. The threat of monsters was approaching in an unexpected form.
