Synopsis
Setting
Kaiju No. 8 is set in a world in which monsters named kaiju regularly cause disasters. Japan is the country with the highest rate of kaiju attacks in the world and, to combat them, it establishes the Anti-Kaiju Defense Force (日本防衛隊, Nihon bōei-tai, lit. "Japanese Defense Force"). Kaiju are assigned a “fortitude level” – a scale indicating their overall strength, and are classified as honju – more dangerous, stronger kaiju and yoju – smaller kaiju that can accompany or sprout off from the honju. Kaiju that have high fortitude levels or abnormal characteristics are given a number as an identifier based on when they first appear and are classified as daikaiju.
Defense Force officers wear power suits made from kaiju remains that grant them increased strength, speed and durability. The suits have a total power output measured in the form of a percentage (referred to as "unleashed combat power") which vary from person to person depending on their ability with a maximum of 100%. The suits also influence how strong an officer's weapons are.
Daikaiju remains are used to create stronger weapons named Numbers (ナンバーズ, Nanbāzu) that are named after the daikaiju they are made from and that some individuals can use if they are deemed compatible. Numbers weapons are much stronger than regular suits and provide its user with special abilities. The Defense Force consists of field officers led by platoon leaders, with varying levels of unleashed combat power, and captains and vice-captains whose combat power exceeds 90% and who lead divisions. Field officers are supported by a team of operators who provide information on kaiju and monitor the field officers' health and suit output.
Plot
After their town is destroyed by kaiju, childhood friends Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro both vow to become members of the Defense Force to fight kaiju together. Mina, now 27, has since become the captain of the Defense Force's Third Division while Kafka, now 32, has failed the examination numerous times and works as a member of a clean-up crew that dispose of kaiju remains after battle. Kafka meets a young part-time worker in his company, Reno Ichikawa, an aspiring Defense Force member, who reignites his desire to become part of the Defense Force. However, a small kaiju enters Kafka's body through his mouth and he gains the ability to turn into a kaiju. After escaping from the Defense Force, Kafka is given the code name "Kaiju No. 8" and decides to apply while keeping his kaiju form a secret.
During the examination to join the Defense Force the applicants are tasked to eliminate a group of yoju led by a stronger honju. Kikoru Shinomiya, a kaiju-slaying prodigy whom Kafka and Reno meet, neutralizes the honju. Kikoru is then attacked by a humanoid kaiju, later named "Kaiju No. 9", who revives the honju and leaves it to kill Kikoru. Kafka transforms while avoiding detection and saves Kikoru who decides to keep his secret. Reno and Kikoru are inducted into the Defense Force as officers while Kafka is accepted as a cadet on the recommendation of the vice-captain of the Third Division, Soshiro Hoshina, who suspects that Kafka is hiding something.
During their first mission to neutralize a giant-class kaiju, Reno and his squadmate, Iharu Furuhashi, are attacked by No. 9. As No. 9 is about to kill Reno, Kafka steps in and stops No. 9 but fails to neutralize it due to the intervention of several Third Division officers. Kafka tries to hide from the officers but is attacked by Soshiro. After a prolonged fight, Kafka disarms the vice-captain and escapes, still maintaining his cover. After the mission, Kafka is officially inducted as an officer. Later, the Third Division base is attacked by a large group of wyvern kaiju led by a humanoid kaiju identified as Kaiju No. 10. The group, led by Soshiro, manage to stall No. 10 long enough for Mina to arrive to destroy it. However, No. 10 orders the wyvern kaiju to gather up and form a bomb to destroy the base to which Kafka transforms in front of the Third Division and punches the bomb away to save the base from destruction. Kafka is, reluctantly, apprehended by Mina and taken into custody to be disposed of.
While imprisoned, Kafka is tested in battle by the Director General of the Defense Force, and Kikoru's father, Isao Shinomiya after Kikoru vouches for Kafka's humanity. Isao fights Kafka using the Numbers 2 weapon made from the remains of Kaiju No. 2. Kafka survives the battle proving that he can control himself while transformed and avoids disposal. In order to prove his usefulness, Kafka is transferred, along with Kikoru, to the First Division led by captain Gen Narumi where they are tasked to prevent another attack on Tokyo planned by No. 9. Kafka, Kikoru and Gen succeed in defeating two versions of No. 9 which are revealed to be decoys. The real one attacks Isao and absorbs him and his Numbers 2 weapon after which No. 9 becomes stronger and prepares for an invasion of Japan with new kaiju.
A 32-year old man with dreams of joining the Defense Force to fight alongside his childhood friend Mina Ashiro. He gives up on his dream after failed, past attempts to join the Defense Force and starts working in a kaiju disposal company as a cleaner. He gains the ability to turn into a kaiju after a small one enters his body through his mouth. After escaping from the Defense Force he is subsequently dubbed "Kaiju No. 8." In his kaiju form, Kafka possesses superhuman strength, speed, durability, regeneration and the ability to detect other kaiju. He has a fortitude level of 9.8, making him the most powerful kaiju identified by the Defense Force. Due to the low unleashed combat power in his human form, he utilizes his knowledge of kaiju anatomy, from his work in the disposal industry, to help his squad mates defeat kaiju. Kafka's kaiju design was inspired by depictions of oni while the design's blue glow was inspired by the film Tron.[5]

Production
Prior to writing Kaiju No. 8, Naoya Matsumoto authored a series titled Nekowappa! that debuted in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump on November 9th, 2009. The series was a continuation of a one-shot that Matsumoto wrote for the JG1 One-Shot festival.[11] He published another one-shot titled Shikai Enbu in the 2012 spring edition of Jump Giga (then known as Jump Next)[12] before starting his second serialization with Pochi Kuro that debuted on Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+ application and website in 2014.[13]
Matsumoto stated that Kaiju No. 8 was influenced by tokusatsu media such as the Ultraman series, specifically Ultraseven (1967), as well as Shin Godzilla (2016). He aimed to create a story that follows a protagonist who has to achieve their goal while hiding their monstrous identity from a hostile organization they are also a part of, seeing it as an entertaining concept.[14] Matsumoto described Kaiju No. 8 as "a challenging work" that allowed him to move away from his usual stories.[15] According to the deputy editor-in-chief of Shōnen Jump+, Seijiro Nakaji, Kaiju No. 8 was an unexpected development from Matsumoto's usual fantasy stories. Nakaji said that Matsumoto, as a tokusatsu fan, was drawn to the archetypal protagonists of the genre "who gain extraordinary abilities, and become a hero, but also bear the weight of inner struggle as a consequence."[5] Nakaji said that they planned to progress the story in two ways: "[o]ne where Kafka leads a normal life while hiding his true identity, and the other where he pursues his dream even after becoming a monster" with Matsumoto opting for the latter choice early on.[5] Matsumoto aims to create page layouts that are easy to follow, especially on smartphones, due to the manga being released digitally. He draws inspiration from mythological creatures, animals and plants when designing kaiju.[5]
Matsumoto works with three assistants for the series: Osamu Koiwai who is responsible for background art, Jiro Sakura who does "finishing work" and Mantohihi Binta who is credited for weapon design.[16] For background art, Matsumoto prepares a storyboard providing compositions of the panels of a chapter that are sent to Koiwai. They discuss how to approach the scene after which Koiwai prepares a draft for Matsumoto's approval. Once the draft is approved Koiwai can proceed with producing the final version of the backgrounds. It takes Koiwai 3–4 days to complete the backgrounds of a chapter. Koiwai shares the process of creating backgrounds on YouTube.[17]
