In Japan, monstrous creatures resembling grotesque versions of Godzilla, known as "kaijuu," have been appearing for years. To defend against these threats, the Defense Corps, an elite military unit, risks their lives daily safeguarding civilians. After a kaijuu is defeated, the Professional Kaijuu Cleaner Corporation's "sweepers" handle the disposal of its remains.
Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old sweeper, feels unfulfilled with his job. Despite his childhood dream of joining the Defense Corps to battle kaijuus, Kafka's failed attempts led him to settle for a mundane job with a decent paycheck. However, the arrival of an ambitious 18-year-old recruit named Leno Ichikawa reignites Kafka's longing for military service.
Amidst a series of unfortunate events and an encounter with Leno, Kafka confronts a parasite-type kaijuu that transforms him into a humanoid monster after entering his body through his mouth. Empowered by his newfound abilities, Kafka resolves to pursue his lifelong dream of joining the military once more.
