Kaiju No. 8 has been serialized on Shueisha's Shônen Jump+ website since July 2020 and is currently one of the most popular series in the medium. As of now, seven compiled volumes of the work have been released in Japan. In December 2020, Kaiju No. 8 surpassed 30 million readers, making it the fastest Shônen Jump+ series to achieve this milestone.
Viz Media describes the story as follows:
Kafka hopes to one day fulfill his childhood promise to his friend Mina by joining the Japan Defense Force and fighting by her side. But while she serves as captain of the Third Division, neutralizing kaiju, Kafka is left cleaning up the aftermath of their battles. When a sudden rule change makes Kafka eligible for the Defense Force, he decides to apply once more. There’s just one problem—he’s on the Defense Force’s extermination list under the codename Kaiju No. 8.
