Tsukishima Jimbee is a determined warrior who only wants the best out of everything he does, with the impression that a weak warrior holds no merit in society. He was scouted by a representative to join the group known as Mushibugyou, and was given certain instructions to seek out Edo to ensure that everything was in place. However, upon arrival he is startled by a loud scream and runs frantically to check it out, only to witness a large spider devouring the whole city.

Just when you thought insects were scary enough as they are, now they’ve somehow grown into humongous creatures that are now wreaking havoc on the city. No bug spray in the world can save these citizens as they run frantically for their lives, trying to escape the wrath of these monster bugs that don’t have anything better to do with their time. Jimbee takes good care of them easily with his sword, along with some help from his friends who he meets along the way.

The story starts off like your typical manga, where all of your friends are hanging out in class talking about plans for the day then suddenly, out of nowhere a freakish looking monster attacks the school and friends who were just laughing a moment ago are being torn limb from limb. Everyone tries their best to run but unfortunately meets their demise with a quick slash through their chest, and a bloody trail of organs are your only map of escape.

If you aren’t already creeped out by the manga’s cover then the minute you read deeper into the story, you’ll be even more terrified. The monsters in Hakaijuu are something that you simply just couldn’t imagine or even describe with one word because that’s simply how horrifying they are. They’re so haunting that if you ever saw them in real life, you’d probably want to jump out of your skin or better yet, just pretend to be dead so they don’t devour you. Heads get sliced in half, random civilians are left gutted with their intestines hanging out, all because these deadly monsters have no shame and could care less about what you think.

Okinawa is a beautiful sub-tropical island full of unique culture and festivities, and the people of the town are welcoming of everyone.

Fishy indeed as these water bred creatures now take to the surface to return the favor for everyone eating them as sushi, and will stop at nothing to ensure they get their payback by any means necessary.

If you were chased down by a large shark with legs, would you try to outrun it? Or would you just simply call it a day and let the shark have its way with you? Whatever you decide on we’re sure the shark wouldn’t care anyway because its only objective is to ensure that everyone on the island is fish food. Sharks with legs aren’t the only creepy looking monster you’ll encounter in Gyo, as the list goes on from a crab looking creature with the head of a human spewing tentacles out of its mouth, to the more classy giant octopus who just wants to wrap itself around you. It’s a freakshow of monsters in this horror classic to check it out!

He then comes to learn of his sons sudden death which triggers his insanity completely. The couple go to an island for a trip away from the pain and this is where Seiichi plans to kill his wife, however she isn’t having any of that and manages to escape to a nearby cave.

These Gauna are no joke as these massively large creatures seem to have no kinks in their armor, as they continue to obliterate every mecha soldier that tries to stand in their way. Sidonia is constantly at war with these creatures and only Nagate, Shizuka, Izana, and Yuhata have the answers to destroy these unrelenting creatures before they reach the ship.
