Kafka Hibino is a 32-year-old member of the Professional Kaiju Cleanup Corp. Kafka was also childhood friends with Mina Ashiro who he made a vow with to join the Defense Force together and protect Japan from Kaiju. However, Kafka failed the entrance exam numerous times and quit on his dreams of being a member of the Defense Force while Mina went on to become the captain of the Defense Force’s 3rd Division.
Following a chain of unfortunate events and an interaction with an ambitious recruit named Leno Ichikawa, Kafka encounters a parasite-type kaijuu that forces its way in through his mouth—turning him into a humanoid monster. With his newfound powers, Kafka aims to give his lifelong dream a final try.

I can't say much for the current development. The story most likely will much oriented, much narrower, with the troop's jobs on the field but it's still good so far. The most important is...damn, it has amazing action and satisfying wide-spread pages. The monster's protoype in this manga kind of remind me with Ajin. I don't really care about other criticisms—if any—but this is still the best choice compared to WSJ lineup which is too nakama power cliches.

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.
as of chapter 38- nothing has changed. If you get past the first 2-ish? first bad chapters, it’s an amazing read. Strongly recommend

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.
