 "In a situation like this, he'd do it without a second thought!"

This series is giving off chainsaw man and JJK vibes and I really like it so far! I'm going to go and watch the anime before I continue with this series!!

More questions coming from the nuggets of world building being casually dropped.

This is another fun installment in the Kaiju No. 8 series. This volume deals more with world set up and introducing who I think will be a bigger villain for the series. This continues to be a great story with engaging characters and a fascinating world. This volume was more battle heavy and less comedic. We also spend less time with Kafka though this is done to give us more time with side characters that I am guessing will be important. I hope that in the next volume we get a bit better balance of the comedy and action like we saw in volume 1.

The fun continues, this volume expands on the world set up in volume 1 and throws some great surprises the reader’s way but it very much so feels like the middle part of a series origin arc. That’s the only reason I’m dinging it down to 4 from a 5.

It’s a science fiction, fighting kaiju action-adventure comedy. Most of this volume happens on a battlefield. The monster design is so much fun. The character dynamics are all informed by one-upping each other mostly and it keeps things mostly quite funny. Well recommended if you enjoyed the first volume or action or Kaiju media altogether
