The manga Kaiju No. 8 is losing its uniqueness by veering towards typical shonen tropes in Chapter 77. The focus on individual battles and character development is overshadowing the originality that once set it apart. Despite still being entertaining, the series is missing its chance to stand out in the crowded shonen market. The promise of large-scale battles between kaiju is being replaced with more human-centric fights, deviating from its initial premise. As the anime adaptation gains popularity, it's crucial for the manga to return to what made it unique in the first place to ensure a lasting legacy. Kaiju No. 8 faces the risk of fading into obscurity if it continues down the path of standard shonen storytelling, rather than embracing its groundbreaking potential.
