Kaiju No. 8 Is A Popular Anime

Starting from July 2020, the popular manga “Kaiju No. 8” by Naoya Matsumoto has been published weekly on the Shonen Jump+ app. Interestingly, Matsumoto follows a special publishing schedule that involves taking a one-week break after releasing three chapters in a row. This arrangement allows him to maintain a healthy workload and avoid any potential health issues related to stress.

I’ve been witnessing quite a success story with this manga. It’s managed to shift an astounding 16 million copies since its debut, a remarkable feat for a fresh series. And with the upcoming release of the anime’s second season, those numbers are bound to soar even higher.

Kaiju No. 8 is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
