Kaiju Terrorize Humanity in Kaiju No. 8
In Kaiju No. 8, Kaiju, otherwise known as monsters, exist to terrorize humanity and the world.
They come in a variety of shapes and sizes; some resemble bugs, dragons, animals, and plants but have a more terrifying appearance.
They are everyone's worst nightmares come true, and they feed on living things, mainly humans, for whatever reason.
They do not make an announcement about their appearance, making them more harmful to humanity and the town or city in which they inhabit.
In fact, a Kaiju ravaged Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro's hometown, leaving them isolated in the world. Their experience, however, inspired them to eliminate every Kaiju as much as they could.
Fortunately, there is an Anti-Kaiju Defense Force organization in charge of eliminating these monstrosities. They are armed with weaponry capable of killing the Kaiju, as well as combat suits that enhance their abilities and protect them from instant death.
