A chance encounter with a mini-kaiju, which he inadvertently swallows, turns his world upside down.
Suddenly gifted (or cursed) with the power to transform from human to kaiju, Kafka is torn. While the defense force beckons him, especially with Mina in its ranks, revealing his newfound identity might mean a death sentence.
