# Where does the Kaiju No. 8 manga pick up after the anime?

To continue Kaiju No. 8 after the anime, start the manga at Chapter 76 (approximate). That is the The Second Wave Arc. Roughly 54 chapters remain. Verified 2026-08-15 (confidence: low).

## Read this first

Corrected on re-verification: an earlier draft said ch. 83, which is far too deep. The finale only begins the Second Wave Arc (ch. 76-95). Skim ch. 76-80 to find your exact stopping point.

## What the anime covered

Manga ch. 1-38 in S1; the Cataclysms Arc (ch. 69-75) across eps 21-23, with the finale only opening the Second Wave Arc

- **Anime status:** Season 2 concluded 27 September 2025; Season 3 confirmed as the 'final chapter', undated
- **Last aired:** S2 E11, aired 2025-09-27
- **Source status:** completed (129 chapters published)
- **English publisher:** Viz Media
- **Roughly remaining:** 54 chapters

## Notes

Manga completed July 2025 at ch. 129 (16 vols). The exact finale endpoint is still contested — this row is queued for a third source.
