Kafka Hibino spends his mornings scrubbing the gore of giant monsters off city streets, a bitter reminder of the childhood oath he failed to keep. While his friend Mina Ashiro commands the elite Defense Force as Japan’s greatest hero, Kafka has resigned himself to the life of a thirty-two-year-old failure in a disposal jumpsuit. Everything changes when a rogue parasite invades his body, granting him the devastating strength of a humanoid monster and the label of Kaiju No. 8. Suddenly, the very man who cleans up the carnage has become the most dangerous threat in history, forcing him to hide his identity from the people he loves while fighting to prove he’s still human at heart. It is a high-octane race against time to fulfill an old promise, proving that it is never too late to stop being a victim of fate and start being the hero you were meant to be.
