A recent leak has claimed that the anime adaptation
of the manga written and illustrated by Naoya Matsumoto ,
“ Kaiju No. 8 ( Kaijuu
8-gou )”, will have a second season . Although the
information is pending confirmation, the source is completely reliable, having
been right on multiple occasions with previous leaks.
Considering the series is currently in publication
and is confirmed to have a total of twelve episodes, it is possible
that confirmation of this leak will not come until the final episode airs on
June 29 in Japan .
On the other hand, Naoya Matsumoto began
publishing the manga through Shueisha 's Shonen
Jump Plus service in July 2020. Previously, the author wrote other
works such as “ Pochi Kuro ”, “ Metallica Metalluca ”,
“ Neko Wappa !“, among others.
Synopsis of Kaiju No. 8
Grotesque Godzilla-like monsters called
“kaijuu” 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 dies, “sweepers,” working under the Kaijuu
Professional Cleaning Corporation, are left to dispose of its remains. Kafka
Hibino, a 32-year-old man, is not satisfied with his job as a sweeper. From a
young age, he has aspired to join the Defense Corps and kill kaijuus for a
living.
However, after a few failed attempts, he
abandoned his dreams and resigned himself to mediocrity that provided a decent
paycheck. However, when an ambitious 18-year-old recruit named Leno Ichikawa
joins his cleaning crew, Kafka is once again reminded of his desire to join the
military. After a chain of unfortunate events and an interaction with the young
sweeper, Kafka encounters a parasitic-type kaijuu that burrows its way through
his mouth, turning him into a humanoid monster. With his newfound powers, Kafka
aims to give his lifelong dream one last try.
