Plot Summary:
Kafka's secret is out and everybody knows that he's Kaiju No. 8. After a ferocious display against the head of the Special Defense Force, Kafka has just barely managed to survive. There may actually be a future with him here at the Defense Force as long as he can prove himself as an asset. Meanwhile, Kikoru has also been transferred to the first division where she comes across, one of the strongest kaiju hunters on the force, but to say that he is not what she expected is an understatement.
