Kaiju No. 8
Kaijuu 8-gou
Japan's been dealing with giant, grotesque monsters—kaijuu—for years now. The government's Defense Corps, an elite military unit, takes them on to protect civilians, and once they're dead, professional sweepers clean up the mess. Kafka Hibino is a 32-year-old sweeper who's stuck in a job he hates. He's wanted to join the Defense Corps since he was a kid, but after bombing the entrance exam a few times, he gave up and settled for a steady paycheck instead. Then Reno Ichikawa, an ambitious 18-year-old recruit, joins his cleaning crew and suddenly Kafka's old dreams don't feel so dead anymore. Things go south when Kafka ends up face-to-face with a parasitic kaijuu that crawls into his mouth and turns him into some kind of humanoid monster hybrid. Now with actual powers on his side, he figures it's time for one last shot at making his dream happen.
