For years, Japan has grappled with the menace of grotesque kaijuu, monstrous creatures reminiscent of Godzilla. The Defense Corps, an elite military unit, valiantly battles these beasts to safeguard civilians. After each confrontation, the aftermath falls upon the shoulders of sweepers, employees of the Professional Kaijuu Cleaner Corporation, tasked with disposing of the remnants.
Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old sweeper, finds himself disillusioned with his role. Despite harbouring childhood aspirations of joining the Defense Corps to combat kaijuu, repeated failures have led him to settle for the mundane security of his job. However, the arrival of Leno Ichikawa, a youthful and ambitious recruit, reignites Kafka’s dormant desire for military service.
Through a series of fateful events and an encounter with his young colleague, Kafka becomes host to a parasitic kaijuu, transforming into a humanoid monster. Empowered by this unexpected twist of fate, Kafka embarks on a quest to realize his lifelong dream of joining the Defense Corps, once and for all.
