Kaiju No. 8 #1

Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 launches the Viz Media release of Naoya Matsumoto's hit shonen manga, following Kafka Hibino, a man working on a kaiju cleanup crew who dreams of joining Japan's elite monster-fighting Defense Force. His ambitions are upended when he himself gains the ability to transform into a powerful kaiju, forcing him to pursue his lifelong goal while hiding a dangerous secret. This opening volume establishes the series' blend of action and dark humor that made it one of the fastest-growing manga properties of the early 2020s.
