Kaijû Girl Carameliser #3

Volume 3 of Spica Aoki's charming series frames everything perfectly: two teenagers — a blonde boy and a dark-haired girl with luminous, tearful eyes — gaze at each other in close-up while a massive, red-crested kaiju rises dramatically from the water between them against a blazing golden sky. The contrast between the intimate, tender moment up front and the colossal creature looming in the background captures exactly the kind of heartfelt, monster-sized emotions this series does so well. Published by Ototo in 2023, this volume promises the same irresistible blend of romance and kaiju spectacle that makes Aoki's work so hard to put down.
