Fans of the “Kaiju No. 8” anime are excitedly anticipating the new season, while readers of Naoya Matsumoto’s popular shonen manga are preparing for its conclusion. The thrilling action series, which started on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ digital platform in July 2020, is approaching its final act, set to debut later this month. Indeed, Kafka Hibino’s last mission is about to reach its climax. However, before the series concludes, Shueisha has one more massive surprise for fans in store.
Much like how anime enthusiasts often start a fresh watch when a new season debuts, manga aficionados are returning to Matsumoto’s series from its inception. The opening chapters of Kaiju No. 8 have been made accessible for free on the Jump+ app as a strategy to attract potential new readers. However, for those eager to immerse themselves (or re-immerse) in the series, the current moment presents an ideal opportunity.
Kaiju No. 8 Is Now Free!
As the closing act of “Kaiju No. 8” approaches, its spectators – both fresh and seasoned – have an opportunity to relive Kafka Hibino’s arduous odyssey without any charge! That’s correct; the entire collection of Kaiju No. 8, comprising all 128 chapters, is accessible for free on the Jump+ app and website. All that’s required is a complimentary account to peruse the series.
In just under a week, we’ll be reaching the conclusion of the captivating tale that has spanned five years: Chapter 129, the last installment, will be unveiled on July 18th!
Kaiju No. 8 Isn’t Completely Over
Although the main manga series of Kaiju No. 8 may be nearing its conclusion, there’s still plenty of room for growth within the franchise. The highly praised anime adaptation by Production I.G. is set to debut soon, with Season 2 arriving shortly after the final chapter on July 19th. With expectations running high, this second season is among the most anticipated returning shows of the Summer 2025 anime lineup, spanning an estimated 12 episodes (though this number hasn’t been officially confirmed yet).
Additionally, a significant amount of Kaiju No. 8 manga remains to be released. The series has already produced one completed spin-off titled Kaiju No. 8: B-Side by Keiji Ando, which was published between January and July 2024. The most recent spin-off, Kaiju No. 8 Relax, penned by Kizuku Watanabe, debuted in June 2024 and continues to be serialized. This new spin-off focuses on the leisurely days of the members of the Third Defense Force as they take a break from their world-saving duties.
The second season of “Kaiju No. 8” debuts on Crunchyroll on July 19th, while the concluding installment of the manga will be published on the Jump+ platform a day earlier, on July 18th.
