Kaiju No 8 Chapter 40 Release Date, Plot, Spoilers, and Other Details

Kaiju No 8 Chapter 40

On the 8th of July 2021, Kaiju No 8 Chapter 39 was released after a frustrating gap of 2 weeks. It revealed a lot of exciting new characters like Gen Narumi and Kikoru Shinomiya. We got to see the internal workings of the most powerful and skilled division i.e. the first division. 

There were some epic battles towards the end of the chapter and Gen’s character and prowess made us hungry for more content. We waited for two weeks to get this content and we merely got a reading time of hardly 5 minutes. We’re back to waiting for another chapter.

To soothe all our collective impatience, we’ve brought you all the information you need to know about Kaiju No 8 Chapter 40.

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 40 Release Date

Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 40 is getting released on July 22, 2021, two weeks after Chapter 39 got released on July 8, 2021. Hopefully, there will be no delays. 

Kaiju No 8 Chapter 40: What Can We Expect?

There are two different plotlines that Kaiju No 8 Chapter 40 might cover. Either, it will be a continuation of Chapter 39 and further explore the funny character of Gen Narumi. Or it could continue from Chapter 38 and highlight Kafka’s struggles to prove that he can be useful in the fight against Kaiju. 

Either way, both scenarios sound like they’ll be amazing and we can’t wait to devour the content.
