Kaiju No. 8 — Chapter 50

Whew, if the comments for **Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 39** are anything to go by, readers are absolutely *losing it* over a certain new character! 🔥 This chapter has truly cemented Captain Gen Narumi as the fandom's latest obsession, and it all boils down to one thing: **duality**.

Manga readers are collectively screaming, "OH NO HE'S HOOOOTTTT!" after seeing Narumi transform from his initially dishevelled, "musty" appearance into a total powerhouse hottie. Many admitted they didn't even recognize him at first, feeling "catfished in reverse" by his glow-up. 😉 His blend of being an "overpowered NEET archetype" and a skilled fighter who's also an otaku has completely won hearts. Some even called him "just my type" and are ready to "wife him up"!💍

While Vice Captain Hoshina still holds a special place, Narumi has undeniably stolen the spotlight, with many debating who's hotter! The general consensus is that the anime "did him dirty" and didn't quite capture his manga allure. Oh, and yes, some eagle-eyed fans also spotted a familiar giant lizard cameo! 🦎
