Godzilla-like monsters called “kaijuu” have been appearing all over Japan for years. To combat these beasts, an elite military unit known as the Defense Corps risks their lives every day to protect civilians. After the creatures are killed, “sweepers”-working under the Professional Kaijuu Cleaning Company-to dispose of the remains.
Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old man, was dissatisfied with his job as a “Sweeper”. From a young age, he aspired to join the Defense Corps and kill kaijuu for a living. However, after several failed attempts, he gave up on his dream and resigned himself to mediocrity that provided a decent salary. 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 series of unfortunate events and interactions with this junior sweeper, Kafka encounters a parasite-type kaijuu that enters through his mouth – transforming him into a humanoid monster. With his new powers, Kafka aims to give his lifelong dream one last try.
