Kaiju No. 8: B-Side

One-Punch Man

Saitama is a young man with a lifeless expression, a bald head, and an unimpressive physique. After three years of rigorous training, he has gained immense strength that allows him to defeat anyone or anything with a single punch. He decides to put this power to good use by becoming a hero impressed, but quickly grows bored: no villain can withstand more than one of his puncheszu, and bringing the spark of being a hero has simply become impossible to find. To make matters worse, he receives neither the recognition he deserves nor the respect of the public because he is not part of the official Hero Association. Determined to boost his reputation, Saitama teams up with Genos, a cyborg who w

A blinding flash of light petrifies every human on Earth in an instant.

Land of the Lustrous

In a distant future, Earth is home to the Lustrous, crystalline lifeforms who defend themselves against the Lunarians, invaders from the moon who seek to harvest their bodies for weapons and decorations. Among the twenty-eight gems, Phosphophyllite is the most fragile and brittle, with no visible talent for battle. Longing to fight but deemed too weak, Phos is instead assigned by their master Adamantine to compile a natural history of their world. The task seems dull and pointless, but it brings Phos into contact with Cinnabar, a gem forced to live in isolation due to their dangerous nature. As Phos pursues this seemingly mundane assignment, they begin to uncover deeper truths about their
