Wow, this book really delivered on what it promises. Kaiju action, inventive twists on the genre, comedy, character development in the present and the flashbacks, a certain amount of action and horror. The characters too feel familiar yet they’ve all got their quirks that will be revealed in time. Will definitely stick with this series.

Moderate: Sexual content and Medical trauma
This a very fun, inventive, Kaiju Science Fiction-Action-Comedy. The tags are more about the graphic vividness of the violence of taking down the Kaiju and their deaths. The classism and gaslighting has to do with how the Kaiju fighters have an elevated social status because they keep everyone safe from these monsters. The misogyny is a mixed bag, most of it is treating the main character like he’s ancient. A tiny bit of it is directed at female characters. The medical trauma and body horror is one way to describe the twist of the series.
