Kaiju No. 8, a breakout hit from the manga anthology magazine Shonen Jump’s Jump+ digital output since its arrival in 2020, follows Kafka, part of a Kaiju waste disposal team in a near-future Japan repeatedly assaulted by giant monsters, where he wistfully imagines a career as part of the anti-monster Defense Force. But when a small Kaiju bonds with Kafa’s body after an accident, he discovers he has gained the power to transform into a superpowered monster-human hybrid, and begins leading a double life as a new recruit in the Defense Force and the hunted superbeing known only by his new colleagues as Kaiju No. 8.

We’ll be waiting a while to see more from the anime, however—the new trailer also confirms that Kaiju No. 8 won’t hit screens until 2024. That’s plenty of time to catch up with the manga, at least!
