Where Does The Kaiju No. 8 Anime End In The Manga?

Kaiju No. 8 starts unique, has unique elements, and subverts all of them by going right back to the shounen template. However, the good news is that the beginning of Kaiju No. 8 is some the best bits of its story, and that’s what the anime showed off.

Where To Start The Kaiju No. 8 Manga After The Anime?

If you finished the Kaiju No. 8 anime and want to continue the story in the manga, you can start at:

• If you finished the Kaiju No. 8 Season 1 anime – You can start the manga at Volume 5, Chapter 39.
• If you finished the Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 anime – You can start the manga at Volume 10, Chapter 76.

The final episode of Season 2 adapted some of Chapter 76, but the Season 2 re-arranged a lot of events throughout its course and did a decent amount of anime-original moments in, what appears to be, an attempt to improve the manga’s lackluster second half. This doesn’t make jumping into the manga impossible, but you would definitely might want to consider starting where Season 1 left off instead.

What to Expect From The Kaiju No. 8 Manga?

Is it weird to like the anime a bit more than the manga? No, it’s not because of the pretty slick animation, but that is good too. Instead, the anime solves some of the odd pacing issues that the manga has and feels like it tells the story a little better.

Regardless, Kaiju No. 8 is a good anime adaptation of the manga and you don’t need to read the manga from the beginning unless you want to.

If you happen to feel like the anime skipped a decent bit of characterization for the characters, that’s just the nature of this series. You can read the Side B Spin-off or the Relax spin-off to learn a bit more about the characters.
