unleash when they break the seal...

Kafka wants to clean up kaiju, but not literally! Will a sudden metamorphosis stand in the way of his dream? With the highest kaiju-emergence rates in the world, Japan is no stranger to attack by deadly monsters. Enter the Japan Defense Force, a military organization tasked with the neutralization of kaiju. Kafka Hibino, a kaiju-corpse cleanup man, has always dreamed of joining the force. But when he gets another shot at achieving his childhood dream, he undergoes an unexpected transformation. How can he fight kaiju now that he’s become one himself?! Thanks to the efforts of the new generation of soldiers, Kafka makes it in time to save Mina Ashiro from Kaiju No. 9. Not only that, he has a host of improved Defense Force–style combat techniques tailored to fight his enemy. But with Kaiju No. 9 able to access the absorbed Isao Shinomiya and his wealth of martial arts knowledge, will Kafka’s refined battle techniques stand a chance?
Under the feckless husbandry of Mr Jones, the Manor Farm has fallen
into disrepair. Pushed into hardship, the animals decide to stage a
revolt, and, led by two young pigs, Snowball and Napoleon, they
overthrow Mr Jones and drive him away from the farm. In the
subsequent struggle for power, it is Napoleon who emerges as a
victor: he renames the place "Animal Farm", gets rid of his enemies
and, by the way he behaves - expecting to be glorifi ed above the
others and turning the screw on his fellow beasts in order to keep
them subjugated - begins to resemble more and more the former
rulers of the farm, the hated humans. Written during the Second
World War and published in 1945, this allegorical novel is a
carefully constructed critique of the Russian Revolution and a
sharp satire on the abuse of power. It remains unsurpassed both as
a document of its time and as a testament to the versatility and
creative genius of George Orwell.
