Series: Kaiju No. 8: B-Side

A thrilling Kaiju No. 8 spin-off, with stories focusing on fan-favorite characters!

A spin-off of the smash hit Kaiju No. 8, this manga takes a deeper look at some of the series’ most beloved characters. See Hoshina, Shinomiya, and others in the past as they struggle to find themselves through battle with deadly kaiju!

In this first of two volumes, Hoshina’s backstory comes to light. The harsh words of his father could have hobbled Hoshina for life, but Hoshina’s not your average kaiju fighter. Armed with his signature swords, he shakes free of the doubts of the past, determined to take down kaiju and make a name for himself!
