Kaiju No. 8 background

Kaiju No. 8

A man finds himself unexpectedly involved in a new situation while pursuing a career that was not aligned with his past aspirations. This leads him to become a "monster" and once more strive for his life-long goal.

In Japan, kaiju attacks are common, with the Japanese Defense Force fighting against them. After being attacked as children, childhood friends Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro both joined the Defense Force to protect their town from kaiju. Despite failing numerous times, Mina became the commander of Third Unit while Kafka was part of Monster Sweeper Inc., a cleanup crew disposing of monster bodies after battles. After becoming infected with a talking monster via his mouth, Kafka gained the ability to transform into Kaiju No. 8 and escape the Defense Force's control. With newfound determination, Kafka decides to fight alongside Mina and finally joins the Defense Force while keeping his abilities secret.
