Synopsis:

“Gross monsters, similar to Godzilla, called “kaijuu”, have been appearing in Japan for many years. To combat these beasts, an elite military unit known as the Defense Corps risks their lives daily to protect civilians. Once a creature is killed, “cleaners” – working under the Professional Kaijuu Cleaner Corporation – are left to dispose of their remains.

Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old man, is dissatisfied with his job as a cleaner. Since he was very young, he has aspired to join the Defense Corps and kill kaijuus for a living. After a few failed attempts, however, he has given up on his dreams and resigned himself to the mediocrity that provides a decent salary. However, when an ambitious 18-year-old recruit named Reno Ichikawa joins his cleaning team, Kafka is once again reminded of his desire to join the army.

After a chain of unfortunate events and an interaction with the junior cleaner, Kafka encounters a parasitic-type kaijuu that forces its way into his mouth – turning him into a humanoid monster. With his new powers, Kafka intends to give his lifelong dream one last chance.””
