Synopsis:
Japan is constantly threatened by colossal creatures known as Kaiju, necessitating specialized defense forces. Kafka Hibino leads a solitary existence as a monster disposal specialist, a life far removed from the organized efforts of the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force. His path shifts when a chance encounter with childhood friend Mina Ashiro, now a prominent member of the Force, reignites his long-held ambition to join their ranks. However, Kafka's aspirations are complicated by a sudden and inexplicable transformation into the very beings he’s tasked with eliminating: Kaiju No. 8. Navigating this duality, he works with his colleague Reno Ichikawa to conceal his true nature while preparing for the demanding Defense Force entrance exam. The narrative explores themes of identity, purpose, and the blurred lines between humanity and the monstrous, all set against a backdrop of escalating kaiju threats and mounting personal stakes.
