The story
In a Japan plagued by frequent kaiju attacks, the Japan Defense Force stands as the primary defense against these monstrous threats. Kafka Hibino, a man whose job involves cleaning up kaiju remains, harbors a long-standing ambition to join the Defense Force and fight these creatures directly. Despite his age, a new opportunity arises for him to pursue this childhood dream.
However, Kafka’s path takes an unforeseen turn when he undergoes a sudden and dramatic transformation, gaining the ability to become a powerful kaiju himself. Now possessing immense strength and a monstrous form, he finds himself in a precarious position. The central conflict revolves around Kafka’s struggle to achieve his goal of fighting kaiju, even as he has become the very thing he wishes to combat, all while keeping his new, dangerous secret hidden from the Defense Force.
