Strange, Godzilla-like monsters known as “kaijuu” have been popping up all over Japan for years. To combat these monsters, an elite military unit known as the Self-Defense Forces risked their lives every day to protect civilians. After a creature is killed, “sweepers”—working under the direction of the Professional Kaijuu Cleaner Corporation—are tasked with dealing with its remains.
Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old man, is not satisfied with his job as a sweeper. From a young age, he aspired to join the Defense Corps and kill kaijuus for a living. However, after several failed attempts, he gave up on his dream and resigned himself to a mediocre life that offered a decent salary. However, when an ambitious 18-year-old recruit named Leno Ichikawa joins his cleaning team, Kafka is once again reminded of his desire to join the army.
After a series of unfortunate events and interactions with a junior sweeper, Kafka encounters a parasitic kaijuu that enters through his mouth — transforming him into a humanoid monster. With her new-found strength, Kafka aims to make her lifelong dream come true one last try.
