Kaiju No. 8 - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 - The man who turned in a Kaijuu

[abconline]

That was pretty interesting. I kinda hoped the author would stick with MC being in the clean up crew, but that would be dead end story-wise I guess

This reminds me of Pacific Rim, minus the mechs. They would also tear about kaiju corpses to get all kinds of valuable resources and parts. Even the manure.

So, when do the monster girls appear? I'm fine with marked spoilers.

Have a feeling MC's not the first case, due to [No.8] in the title and not the last, government conspiracy and science hybrid etc lol

@Harramburgerkiez Question: For Chapter 1's title, do you mean to say "The man who turned into a Kaijuu"? Instead of "The man who turned in a Kaijuu"?

Thank you for the translation!

A little disappointed. Going by the chapter title, I was expecting more buildup. It was still cool and the setting is interesting, even if it's aping Pacific Rim a bit too much. Then in the last couple pages it's just like, "oh yeah, turn the guy into a Kaijuu" and it just happens.

 

[nokosama]

Hooked already.

he kinda look like the trapper mask from dead by daylight now that i look at it closely.

 

[Ekfreet]

LMFAO

 

[Loarge_Snek]

i don't think this is supposed to be a comedy manga but those last pages had me dying on the Floor laughing XD

 

[Nymyon]

This is some good stuff!

 

[ETKnight]

Only the first chapter, but it already leaves a good impression on me.
Might be worth checking out.

THIS IS HOW YOU START A STORY. FOR FUCKS SAKE, LEARN THIS BASIC SHIT JAPAN.

 

[lIIusion]

@thedestroyership agreed

Official Spanish translation is available on Manga Plus. I'm so disappointed it's not available in English...

 

[Thoshy]

Surprised yet glad when I doubled-checked the author of this manga was the same as Pochi Kuro_{https://mangadex.org/title/15176/pochi-kuro} after recognizing the artstyle. Highly recommend to read that too

 

[TheMode]

this looks sick

 

[welcome2atlantis]

Yeah, gotta clean them up good, or else Kaiju Blue.
Anyway. This manga is a gem. Followed.

I think it’s interesting to notice how the author used reflections to speed up the drawing process. On page 41, if you look closely you can see how the tigers face is perfectly symmetrical. Also, the 3 guys behind the girl have their masks copy and pasted lol. On page 42, the girls face + eyes + moles + nose are also perfectly symmetrical down the middle. On the page with both of the dudes sitting in the hospital beds, you can see the author only drew one side and then mirrored it. Just some fun facts. This manga is great.
