Kafka wants to clean up kaiju, but not literally! Will a sudden metamorphosis stand in the way of his dream?
With the highest kaiju-emergence rates in the world, Japan is no stranger to attack by deadly monsters. Enter the Japan Defense Force, a military organization tasked with the neutralization of kaiju. Kafka Hibino, a kaiju-corpse cleanup man, has always dreamed of joining the force. But when he gets another shot at achieving his childhood dream, he undergoes an unexpected transformation. How can he fight kaiju now that he’s become one himself?!
With his childhood dream in his heart, Kafka makes his choice—to give up his human form for the sake of humanity. He transforms for the final time into Kaiju No. 8 and takes his final stand against the historic cataclysm—the Daikaiju of the Meireki Era! Can he put a stop to this unprecedented foe before it plunges the world into destruction? Despair turns to hope in this thrilling conclusion!
