About this converter
Kaiju No. 8 by Naoya Matsumoto ran in Shueisha Shonen Jump+, ch. 1-129, and finished in July 2025 across 16 volumes. The series holds 9 official arcs, fewer than the usual 10, so the file keeps all 9 rather than padding with splits. They run from the 11 chapter Kafka transformation opener to the 34 chapter Last Wave finale. Counts come from Shueisha tables of contents, cross checked against the Kaiju No. 8 Wiki story arc pages. Ranges run contiguous from ch. 1 to ch. 129 with no gaps. Production I.G animated the run starting in 2024.
How to use it
Pick two arcs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Last Wave arc against Captured to see the 34 to 7 gap. Then test Kaiju Weapon against Cataclysms to compare 16 chapters with 7.
No official figure splits any arc further, so 9 rows stand as the complete series. The Last Wave finale alone holds 34 chapters, more than the first three arcs combined. Side stories and the B-Side spinoff sit outside these rows. VIZ English volumes collect the same chapters in 16 books. The anime covers the early arcs, with later seasons following the same chapter order.
FAQ
Which Kaiju No. 8 arc is longest?
The Last Wave arc at 34 chapters, ch. 96-129.
How many chapters is Kaiju No. 8?
129 chapters across 16 Shueisha volumes. It finished in July 2025.
Why only 9 entries?
No splits exist in the official arc list, so the file keeps the true 9. Padding it to 10 would invent structure the publisher never set.
