as of chapter 14, I am deeply impressed. The story is generic but it doesn’t stop it from shining among countless other shounen manga. The author KNOWS how to do their job.
The art style and pacing are great, plot twists happen just at the right time, the characters are likable and (at least at the moment) don’t feel 2D to me... What more do I say?
It is just a really good read.

there's a lot of good shonen that despite being a tad melodramatic, overly saccharine, logic defying pieces of trope that are good. kaiju no. 8 is just generic though. there's nothing noteworthy. a loser type who was powerless becomes powerful to fight other powerful things. this is everrrrywhere. i'm not saying it can't go anywhere but so far the characters are generic, the premise isn't overly interesting, and i have found no glimmer of potential to say that this is going to be something better. if anything most mangas impress early before falling into second act traps so that fact that there's been no hook yet isn't a good sign.
