About this listen
Kaiju No. 8 (also known as Monster #8) is a Japanese manga series by Naoya Matsumoto, following Kafka Hibino, a man who gains the ability to transform into a kaiju after ingesting a parasitic creature. Determined to fulfill a childhood promise, Kafka joins an organization dedicated to exterminating kaiju while struggling to control his newfound powers. The series, inspired by tokusatsu media like Ultraman, explores Kafka’s journey as he balances his humanity with his monstrous abilities. Since its debut in 2020 on Shōnen Jump+, the manga has gained widespread popularity, leading to an anime adaptation, spin-offs, and a video game. With over 18 million copies in circulation by 2025, the series has been praised for its engaging premise, dynamic characters, and striking artwork, earning awards like the Next Manga Award and an Eisner nomination.
