After five years of publication on Shueisha’s Jump+ app, the popular manga “Kaiju No. 8” by Naoya Matsumoto will conclude its run. This marks one of the first significant releases during the second era of the Jump+ app. Alongside other successful series like Tatsuya Endo’s “Spy x Family,” Kaiju No. 8 has garnered a massive following since its debut. However, now that the manga storyline is wrapping up, fans eagerly anticipate the return of the anime adaptation.
Fans of the popular manga series “Kaiju No. 8” were taken aback when it was revealed earlier this summer that the story would wrap up in just two more installments. With the penultimate chapter now released globally, it’s official that the last chapter of “Kaiju No. 8” will be published on July 17th. Excitingly, readers can access the final chapter for free through Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump library and Shueisha’s MangaPlus service.
What to Know for Kaiju No. 8 Finale
The popular manga series “Kaiju No. 8” is set to conclude with Chapter 129, scheduled for release on July 17th outside Japan. Initially debuting in 2020, Naoya Matsumoto’s original work didn’t truly gain momentum until recently, following the successful launch of its anime adaptation. The anime, which made its global premiere last year, has sparked increased interest in the manga. Remarkably, readers were unaware that they had been witnessing the climactic struggle for the series as a whole. However, this final battle has now concluded.

In the penultimate episode of the series, Kafka Hibino delivered what was supposed to be the fatal blow to Meireki Kaiju, and the story resumes immediately following this selfless act by Kafka. To confront the immense power of the kaiju, Kafka had to relinquish his own human heart and transform entirely into a kaiju. After their fierce battle, Kafka, along with other kaijus, have started vanishing. However, it appears that a surprising turn of events may have spared Kafka, offering him and Japan an optimistic future free from the menace of Kaijus.
How Will Kaiju No. 8 End?
In the upcoming finale of “Kaiju No. 8,” set for release this Summer, fans will find out if it ends happily for Kafka and the others. The storyline appears to be heading towards a positive resolution as Kafka has channeled the past regrets of those killed by kaijus into his final strike against the Meiriki Kaiju. Additionally, the second-to-last chapter hints that Kafka might have restored his human heart, allowing him to live a normal life without the power (or obligation) to transform anymore.
The popular anime series “Kaiju No. 8” is set to resume on television in July, with its second season already underway as the manga reaches its conclusion. This means fans will have a better understanding than ever of what lies ahead for the TV anime franchise, as it continues to adapt the remaining story arcs and battles once Season 2 concludes. As we eagerly await the finale, it won’t be long before the anime officially wraps up everything!
