wh, why so early......?

Recently we’ve had so much articles about spring anime! So I wanted to do something different for once!

Well true. It’s important to provide the newest information. So...... What is Kaiju No. 8 about?

Briefly first!What is the Kaiju No. 8 about?

To put it super simply, Kaiju No. 8 is a story about a guy who turns into Kaiju No. 8

That’s easy enough to understand.

Japan, where the manga takes place, was getting attacked by kaiju almost every day.

That’s a terrible setting to start with.

The main character, Hibino Kafka, used to dream of enrolling in Japan’s Defense Force specialized to eliminate monsters, but he couldn’t pass the exam and was hired as a clean-up member of monsters’ dead bodies.

Cleaning up is a good job too......

In this world, the monster attack span is way too short, so it’s hard to appreciate the cleaning-up job. Because Kafka is 32, he’s no longer eligible to take the exam, and he had no choice but to give up his dream.

Can’t do anything about age limits......

But one day, everything changes. The age limit for the exam is raised, and Kafka gets another chance for the Defense Force exam!

Oh!! What an opportunity!!

At the same time, Kafka gets to re-witness the annihilating power of the current Defense Force. The Defense Force members destroy the monsters, who Kafka would be powerless against, in a flash...... Among them, there is Kafka’s childhood friend, Ashiro Mina.

Oh! Childhood friend!

Yes! Kafka and Mina once promised each other to join the Defense Force together but...... only Mina passed the exam.

That’s awkward...... but if he can re-take the test, this is a chance to make Kafka’s dream come true again.

That was the plan...... but, the night that he decided to take the exam, of all things, the monster that was supposedly defeated earlier in the day came chasing after Kafka, and enters his body!!

Then, the next moment......

He...... he became a kaijyu......?

What is Kafka’s destiny!? ......and that’s the gist of Kaiju No. 8’s first episode!

Oh～！！！It’s exciting to know how this will develop!

Worldwide total print number is 11 Million! The view number, and the acceleration of the view number is scarily fast for this popular work!

One characteristic of manga-version of Kaiju No. 8 is that the view numbers is rapidly increasing and is high compared to other works! Even among ‘Shonen Jump+ with popular works like SPY×FAMILY, by the time episode 15 was released, it had 30million views and 100 million by episode 31 release. It has a viewing-record that’s several-folds more than other works!

What does this tremendous fast speed and high number of view-record mean?

It means that it’s not just Japan, but the fans from all over the world always checks out Kaiju No. 8 and reads it! Its record hasn’t been beaten yet, and it’s extremely well-known as one of major works in Shonen Jump+!

I see. It looks like a pretty famous work, and I just didn’t know about it. What manga volume is released as of now?

Currently there are 9 manga volumes! I wonder if the animation will be to around 5 or 6? (My own guess) How about checking out this Kaiju No. 8 manga before 2024 for you all too~！？

Alrighty, that’s about it for today! See you in the next article~!!
