The explosive first season of Kaiju No. 8 left viewers eager for more, prompting many to wonder where the anime concludes in relation to the manga. The adaptation by Production I.G spanned 12 episodes, airing from April 13, 2024, to June 29, 2024. These episodes covered chapters 1 to 38 of the manga, with chapter 38 serving as the endpoint for the anime.
In the final episode, the Defense Force’s Director General, Isao Shinomiya, decides not to terminate Kafka Hibino, allowing him to remain part of the Defense Force under strict supervision. This decision sets the stage for the upcoming sequel, which was announced on June 30, 2024. The sequel is expected to focus on the Defense Force’s First Division and introduce new dynamics within the team.
Significant developments in the final episodes include Third Division Captain Mina Ashiro announcing changes to her squad, particularly concerning new officers Reno Ichikawa, Aoi Kaguragi, Iharu Furuhashi, and Haruichi Izumo. Meanwhile, Kaiju No. 9, having fully recovered, continues to plot humanity’s downfall from the shadows.
The anime has been well-received for its blend of intense action, character development, and thematic depth, making it one of the standout series of Spring 2024.
For those looking to continue the story, the manga offers a seamless transition from where the anime left off. Fans can start reading from chapter 39 onwards to follow the next phases of Kafka’s journey and the Defense Force’s ongoing battle against the Kaiju.
