Kaiju No.8

怪獣８号

Kaijuu 8-gou

Giant monsters attack Japan so often that killing them is an army job. Someone also has to clear away the bodies. At thirty-two Kafka Hibino is still doing that dirty work. As a boy he promised a childhood friend that they would both join the Defense Force. She became a famous captain. Kafka kept failing the entrance exam until he quit trying. Then a tiny kaiju flies into his mouth. Now he can turn into a kaiju himself. He applies to the Defense Force one more time and hides his monster side. Kaiju No.8 is shounen action with an adult lead and plenty of comedy. It is a good fit for readers who like big monster fights and an underdog who gets a late second chance.
