Recs if you like Kaiju No. 8, Vol. 1...

Books where a main character is not entirely human and/or is an alien, monster, spirit, eldritch horror, etc. who has disguised themself as a human. Do they want to be human? Or do they want to eat humans? Or some secret third thing? Who knows? You decide. (Please comment your suggestions!)

A list that highlights mangas that feel like a celebration of crosshatching, a fine line feast for the eyes, and an abundance of detail. Across the history of manga, illustrators express the style of their time through fashion, character designs, and human sized goblin hoards.

Bringing art to life

Here are some manga/manhwa series I would Recommend

Kaiju books, graphic novels, and more! For the sake of the list not becoming a creature feature list, I am defining Kaiju as 'a creature that has never existed and whose presence alone can be a natural disaster'. So things like Jaws (a normal shark) and The Meg (a real creature that existed but we just didn't know was still around) won't be added.

The title is part of a Kaiju No. 8 quote - "Destruction and Creation - that's a kaiju's true nature"
