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 Leno 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.
Japan is threatened by monsters on a daily basis. Kafka Hibino, who was aiming to join the "Japan Defense Corps" to defeat monsters, gave up his dream and worked in a cleaning business specializing in monsters. In the midst of his days of feeling anxious about his childhood friend Mina Ashira, who is active as the captain of the 3rd unit of the Defense Corps, and the promise to fight monsters together, Kafka meets Reno Ichikawa, a junior who aspires to be a member of the Defense Forces.
Kafka, who was parasitized by a mysterious small monster and transformed into a monster himself, escaped from the hospital with Reno, fearing that he would be defeated by the defense forces. At that time, he discovers a father and son being attacked by a monster. Kafka, who confronts the monster without regard for danger, wields his fists with all his might.
Kafka arrives for one last shot at the Defense Force entry exam... but can he pass while keeping his Kaiju powers a secret?
