I like Kaiju No 8 so far, and I plan to read the manga when the anime ends. But I've been hearing lots of ppl claim the manga went downhill, is it really as bad as ppl claim it is?
If I had to choose between One Piece and a girlfriend...I think I'll go with One Piece

Nah it’s pretty good. It does change a bit but it does better at giving side characters spotlight than ever before, and there’s a lot of hints at more going on than just No. 9’s plans right now. It just goes a bit slow for an arc or two, then picked up again with the recent battle arc

I'm surprised that people are claiming that it went downhill. I thought the way it has built upon itself is tremendous, and the most recent few chapters have especially engrossed me.

That aside, I heard some people saying that the manga just becomes a generic shounen later on so that's why they are disappointed. I myself haven't read the manga so can't say anything about it. Best is to just read it yourself and see if it gets better or worse.

here is a tip don't let other opinions affect your opinion that is like letting other people tell you what to like what to hate etc it's better to have your own opinion don't let other people control you yes it is good to here other opinions as long as your Open minded and see both sides, read the manga and judge it by your self.

In my opinion, Kaiju No. 8 doesn't offer many things we haven't seen before, but it's an enjoyable story nevertheless, and I do consider it to be one of the greatest currently running Shonen Jump manga.
It never felt too rushed or too dragged out, the art is always nice, and everyone gets their spotlight.
I recommend it.

It's good. The anime is just taking it too whole nother level and making it much better than it already is. Leading some who skip the anime and hop to the manga to start hating on it.

In theory this is how every anime should be. An equal to or greater version than the original source.

Wait...there're ppl like that!? Either they're retard or haven't even read the manga at all. After watchin' the first ep I started the manga and it was so much enjoyable that I couldn't help but read it straight for hours catching up to chap 105(latest release of that time, currently it has 107 chaps).

I'll keep it short.
no the author makes the story mid on purpose.
it' like this "eminence in the shadow", the manga is just to enjoying over self by seeing a 30 year old man do cool shonen shit. PPL who expect it to be deepe or darek, are the ones who gets disappointed when reading it further. cause of the lake of dark element.

so if you just want to enjoy reading shonen without thinking too much, you'll definitely like it.

I’m caught up with kaiju no.8’s manga physically and it’s honestly great. I really like the art and it’s just consistently entertaining. The anime has help up great and I love it as much as the manga so as my final thought, it’s still an amazing series.

Manga is great and considered as one of 3 pillars from Jump+ (Spy x Family, Kaijuu#8, Dandadan). Anime is great as well.

yeah i used to like the manga when i first read it, enjoyed the first like 60-65 chapters but after that, it's just uninteresting as hell. also the score keeps dropping, it was rated 7.77 when i first started reading early last year and now it's on 7.72.

it's your typical battle shounen mamga but like the rest, it's quite good since it has some pretty unique elements that makes it stand out.

If the anime is already this mediocre, the manga can’t be much better right?

@GTRaijin It's a generic shonen basically starting with ep 2 in the anime too, if I'm being generous. I like it though, but this show literally has every single shonen trope.

The first half of the manga is pretty good imo. But the recent arc is sadly boring and repetitive, the protagonists just get beaten up at first then they get flashbacks of their past and win the fight afterwards which is predictable and bland to me. Despite that you really should give it a read, maybe you will like it, people have different taste anyway.
