Narumi created a lot of conflicting emotions because I HATED what he said to Kafka, but it's hard to actually hate him when Narumi IS cool.

The series' first volume has been positively received by various publications [b] with particular praise aimed at its artwork [c] which has been described as "gorgeous and incredibly detailed. Scale is a big thing with this book and it does a great job of giving you a sense of how big the monsters are and how much threat they prove.Prior to becoming vice-captain he was advised by his superiors to quit becoming a field officer due to his ineffectiveness with ballistic weaponry. The story follows Kafka Hibino, a man who, after ingesting a kaiju, gains the ability to turn into one and now must navigate using his power while trying to become part of an organization that eliminates kaiju to fulfill a promise he made with a childhood friend.

To promote the release of the first volume in France, publisher Crunchyroll (then known as Kazé) displayed a mural on the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris from October 6–15, 2021. 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. A great thing about this series is all of the seeds Matsumoto has been sowing about the mystery of Kaiju and I really hope we get some answers at some point. Kafka Hibino gets a golden opportunity to showcase his strength in an effort to help his friends until he has to go up against an unexpected threat only to discover each of their limits. It was later revealed to be a television series set to premiere in April 2024, [2] with Production I.

Following a chain of unfortunate events and an interaction with an ambitious recruit named Leno Ichikawa, Kafka encounters a parasite-type kaijuu that forces its way in through his mouth—turning him into a humanoid monster. I'm really liking all of the new characters, but I feel like some of the older side characters have been a bit neglected.

Mina was one of the only ones who valued his skill as a swordsman and asks him to become her vice-captain. Shinomiya tells Kafka that the only reason he's still alive is as a weapon, but this is also the first time that he refers to Kafka, not as Kaiju No. Isao Shinomiya ha infatti intenzione di occuparsi di lui personalmente, potendo contare sulla forza del Daikaiju No.That being said, the new characters are good in their own right; one in particular is sure to be a fan favourite! However, seeing her "cheer" for (more like support and believe in) Kakfa and them "grow together" has been extremely awesome. The Defense Force consists of general officers and platoon leaders, with varying levels of unleashed combat power, and captains and vice-captains whose combat power exceeds 90% and who lead divisions.
