Kaiju manga
(No synopsis yet.)
Grotesque, Godzilla-like monsters called "kaijuu" have been appearing around Japan for many years. To combat these beasts, an elite military unit known as the Defense Corps risks their lives daily to protect civilians. Once a creature is killed, "sweepers"—working under the Professional Kaijuu Cleaner Corporation—are left to dispose of its remains. Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old man, is unsatisfied with his job as a sweeper. From a young age, he has aspired to join the Defense Corps and kill kaijuus for a living. After a few failed attempts, however, he gave up on his dreams and resigned himself to the mediocrity that provided a decent paycheck. Nevertheless, when an ambitious, 18-year-old recruit named Reno Ichikawa joins his cleaning team, Kafka is once again reminded of his desire to join the military. Following a chain of unfortunate events and an interaction with the junior sweeper, Kafka encounters a parasite-type kaijuu that forces its way in through his mouth—turning him into a humanoid monster. With his newfound powers, Kafka aims to give his lifelong dream a final try. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Kuroe Akaishi is an introverted, quiet, and seemingly normal high school girl. Though accustomed to being alone, her dreary days begin to change when she meets Arata Minami, a bright and handsome boy in her class. Despite his popular status, he is kind enough to reach out to an outcast like her; soon, Kuroe finds her heart begins to pound around him. It keeps pounding and pounding and pounding until Kuroe transforms into a monstrous kaijuu! She has a certain affliction: as her embarrassment grows, so do the monstrous appendages from her body; and when it hits a peak, she unleashes the full extent of her transformation. At the same time, beauty meets the kaijuu, and Japan faces off against the looming threat of the mysterious monster. Can Minami accept her feelings, or will he too be frightened off by her colossal form? Depending on his decision, the world may experience the full devastation of a girl's heart-pumping, youthful love. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
It is now about twenty years that monsters of unknown origin, baptized as "Kaiju," arrived on Earth. Since it was discovered that the aggressiveness of these monsters could be calmed down and controlled by the voice of a young girl, the human species decided to try to cohabit with them. The school for girls in Tatara thus proposes as a learning option the very particular profession of "trainer" of Kaijus. Ion Hidaka, a sixth grade pupil, chose to begin this unusual course. Elected at the beginning of the school year as a member of the breeding club, she must also take care every day of a gigantic monster that lives in the forest behind the school. (Source: Nautiljon)
