Summary
Kafka wants to clean up kaiju, but not literally! Will a sudden
metamorphosis stand in the way of his dream?
With the highest
kaiju-emergence rates in the world, Japan is no stranger to attack by deadly
monsters. Enter the Japan Defense Force, a military organization tasked with the
neutralization of kaiju. Kafka Hibino, a kaiju-corpse cleanup man, has always
dreamed of joining the force. But when he gets another shot at achieving his
childhood dream, he undergoes an unexpected transformation. How can he fight
kaiju now that he’s become one himself?!
The raid on the Defense
Force’s Tachikawa base continues as the officers expend their efforts to
fend off the yoju. Meanwhile, Hoshina unleashes his full combat power and takes
on the daikaiju—the mightiest kaiju of the group. Just when the battle
seems to be over, the daikaiju transforms and Kafka’s detection ability
reacts to it! Will Kafka make it in time to save the day?!
