Over time, life circumstances forced them to go their separate ways and caused him to abandon his lifelong ambition. He found himself employed by Monster Sweeper, Inc., a professional cleaning company that specializes in cleaning up the aftermath of Kaiju battles. Meanwhile, Mina Ashiro is now the Captain of the Defense Force’s 3rd Division. As it stands, he is currently unworthy of fighting Kaiju alongside her. At work, Kafka crosses paths with the highly motivated Reno Ichikawa. Reno’s undying determination to join the Defense Force leaves no room for failure. His perseverance reawakens Kafka’s ambition of standing next to Mina as they protect humanity from Kaiju together. A dream frozen by time, thawed by a burning promise But Kafka doesn’t know that an imminent Kaiju threat is unexpectedly approaching him. 【Web／SNS】 Ofiicial Site：https://kaiju-no8.net/en Official English Twitter for Anime：@KaijuNo8_O_EN （https://twitter.com/KaijuNo8_O_EN ） Official TikTok：https://www.tiktok.com/@kaijuno8_o Ofiicial Instagram：https://www.instagram.com/kaijuno8_pr/ © JAKDF 3rd Division © Naoya Matsumoto/SHUEISHA #怪獣8号 #KaijuNo8 #YUNGBLUD
