Japan, the land of the highest rates of kaiju outbreaks in the world where kaiju mercilessly invade everyday life. Kafka Hibino is a 32-year-old employee of Monster Sweeper Inc., which specializes in clean up and disposal of kaiju corpses that are killed by the Japanese Defense Force. He has aspired to become a member of the Defense Force ever since his town was destroyed by a kaiju when he was a child, but after failing the entrance exam several times, he finds himself relegated to the clean up crew. However, one day while on the job, a small kaiju flies into his mouth, and he gains the ability to turn into a kaiju himself! Now dubbed "Kaiju No. 8" by the Defense Force, can he keep his newfound transformation abilities under control or will he be the next kaiju to be defeated?
