Kaiju No. 8 Ends at Chapter 112, Season 2 Anime Premieres Just 24 Hours Later!

Big news from the world of Japanese manga and anime! The action-packed series Kaiju No. 8 by Naoya Matsumoto officially concluded on July 18, 2025, with its final Chapter 112. But fans didn’t have to grieve for long—because Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 anime is set to premiere just 24 hours after the manga ends!

A Bittersweet Farewell to the Manga

Launched in July 2020 on Shonen Jump+, Kaiju No. 8 quickly became a hit thanks to its unique premise: Kafka Hibino, an ordinary man, transforms into a kaiju—the very monsters he's supposed to fight.

What made the manga stand out:

• Fast-paced, thrilling action

• Deep and emotionally charged characters

• Stunning and expressive artwork

• Themes of hope, identity, and sacrifice

The story wraps up on a satisfying yet emotional note, as readers say goodbye to Kafka and the Defense Force after five years of gripping storytelling.

Anime Season 2 Releases the Very Next Day!

In a rare move for the anime industry, Studio Production I.G and Toho Animation announced that Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 will air just one day after the manga ends. A perfect gift for fans still reeling from the conclusion.

✅ What to Expect in Season 2:

• Even more stunning visuals and combat scenes

• Deeper story arcs for Mina Ashiro, Kikoru Shinomiya, and Reno Ichikawa

• High-stakes battles never before animated

• Kafka’s evolving struggle as both human and kaiju

The latest trailer showcases high-octane action, beautifully polished animation, and a darker, more emotional tone—hinting that Season 2 will raise the bar significantly.

A Rare Moment in Anime Adaptation History

Typically, fans wait months or years between a manga's finale and its anime continuation. Kaiju No. 8, however, breaks this pattern—creating massive global hype and setting a new standard for adaptation timing.

Conclusion: The Manga Ends, the Anime Journey Continues

Although the final manga chapter has been published, the anime opens a brand new chapter. Whether you’re a longtime reader or a newcomer to the world of Kaiju No. 8, this is the perfect time to dive in.

📅 Don’t miss Kaiju No. 8 Season 2, premiering on July 19, 2025!
