Synopsis of Kaiju No. 8:
Grotesque monster-like creatures called “kaijuu”, similar to Godzilla, have been appearing in Japan for many years. To combat these beasts, an elite military unit known as the Defense Corps risks their lives daily to protect civilians. Once a creature is killed, the “cleaners”, who work under the Kaiju Professional Cleaning Corporation, stay behind to dispose of its remains. Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old man, is unsatisfied with his job as a cleaner. Since he was young, he has aspired to join the Defense Corps and kill kaijuus to make a living.
However, after several failed attempts, he gave up on his dreams and resigned himself to the mediocrity that a decent paycheck provided. However, when an ambitious 18-year-old recruit named Leno Ichikawa joins his cleaning team, Kafka once again remembers his desire to join the military. After a series of unfortunate events and an interaction with the young cleaner, Kafka encounters a parasite-type kaijuu that forces its way through his mouth, turning him into a humanoid monster. With his new powers, Kafka aims to give his lifelong dream one last try.
