Kaiju No. 8 Manga: Kafka's Last Stand

The anime was a hit, but the manga is approaching its climax. Can Kafka save the Defense Force?

Kaiju No. 8 started strong, and while some say it dipped in the middle, the current arc is pure hype.

The Numbers

We are finally seeing the full power of the numbered Kaiju and the captains who wield their weapons.

• Kafka Hibino: Our 32-year-old protagonist is fighting to prove that he is human, not a monster.
• Vice-Captain Hoshina: His sword fights remain the highlight of the series.

Conclusion

The Kaiju No. 8 manga is a solid, traditional shonen. It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it executes the tropes with style.
