Kaiju No. 8: B-Side, Vol. 1 by Kentaro Hidano, Keiji Ando, Naoya Matsumoto
4.0

Series: Kaiju No. 8: B-Side Chapters 1-6
Rating: 4 stars - It was really good

This was an enjoyable spin-off series that focuses more on the other members of the Defense Force. The first few chapters follow Vice-Captain Hoshina and his journey to becoming part of Mina’s team. It was great getting some background on Hoshina and his motivations for being a swordsman in an age of guns. 

Then we jump to Kikoru and see her testing out a specialty weapon by fighting crab Kaiju. This does end in the middle of her test so I am very interested in seeing what happens next.
