For all Kaiju No. 8 enthusiasts, we’ve got exciting news! Not only are we looking forward to Season 2 of Production I.G.’s fantastic anime adaptation, but also the Season 1 compilation movie, which includes an extra OVA named “Hoshina’s Day Off.” And here’s more – Viz Media has announced a fresh, everyday life spin-off for Naoya Matsumoto’s manga!
The manga “Kaiju No. 8” was initially published online on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ platform in July 2020. As of now, it has released a total of 120 chapters. A spin-off series called “Kaiju No. 8: B-Side” had previously been released, which was later inspired by the light novel “Kaiju No. 8: Close-up! The Third Division“. The “B-Side” series concluded in July 2024, but this year fans can look forward to another exciting spin-off.

A sneak peek at the upcoming manga spin-off titled “Kaiju No. 8: Relax” was recently shared on VIZ Media’s official X (previously Twitter) account. The post provided a glimpse into what fans can anticipate from this new series, and also showcased an impressive new visual for the spin-off.
The opening statement reads: “Even the brave kaiju fighters deserve a moment’s rest,” it says. “Join Kafka, Mina, Reno, and others in this laid-back spin-off comic series, filled with laughter as our heroes unwind.” Titled Kaiju No. 8: Unwind, this spin-off is crafted by Kizuku Watanabe (Koro-sensei Q!>) based on the original characters created by Naoya Matsumoto. As of now, a specific launch date is yet to be announced; however, it’s confirmed that the first chapter will hit stands in Fall 2025.
From my vantage point, a fresh display unveiled the title for “Kaiju No. 8: Relax,” showcasing its primary triad – Kafka, Mina, and Reno – lounging in comfortable attire, taking well-deserved rest and relaxation time together.
