Kaiju No. 8, Vol. 5: Volume 5

Product Information

What I will say, however, is that, like any great taste that might not exactly be in your healthy interests, this action goes down smooth. It adheres to the general shonen rule of ‘keep getting crazier’, but it’s easy to follow and the line work is quite good. Mateo, Alex (June 14, 2021). "Kaiju No. 8 Is Fastest Shonen Jump Plus Manga to Top 3 Million Copies in Circulation". Anime News Network. Archived from the original on June 15, 2022 . Retrieved June 15, 2021. Kaiju! (Gesundheit [Sorry {Not sorry}]) No. 8 takes on No. 9 and that’s a large part of a very fisticuff-forward volume. Also, people get suspicious and murderous, plus Kikoru gets a small promotion that puts her a cut above, even if she didn’t axe for it. The Defense Force has taken Kafka into custody and has plans to dispose of him. Kafka attempts to plead his case with Director General Shinomiya, wielder of the mighty Kaiju No. 2’s power and the person lauded as the strongest in Defense Force history. But when Kafka’s pleas fail to move the director general, he winds up facing him in combat! What’s more, he starts to lose control of his kaiju form! Can Kafka keep it together long enough to save his own skin? After their town is destroyed by kaiju, childhood friends Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro both vow to become members of the Defense Force to fight kaiju together. Mina, now 27, has since become the captain of the Defense Force's Third Division while Kafka, now 32, has failed the examination numerous times and works as a member of a clean-up crew that dispose of kaiju remains after battle. Kafka meets a young part-time worker in his company, Reno Ichikawa, an aspiring Defense Force member, who reignites his desire to become part of the Defense Force. However, a small kaiju enters Kafka's body through his mouth and he gains the ability to turn into a kaiju. After escaping from the Defense Force, Kafka is given the code name "Kaiju No. 8" and decides to apply while keeping his form a secret.
