The official website for Kaiju No. 8 released the official poster for the new short anime “Narumi's Workweek” (Narumi no Heijitsu), confirming its premiere for the fourth quarter of 2026.
The production was announced during Jump Festa and will feature an original story written by Kizuku Watanabe, author of the spin-off Kaiju No. 8: Relax.
The poster highlights Gen Narumi, captain of the Defense Force's First Division and considered Japan's strongest anti-kaiju combatant.
According to the official synopsis, the short will show a more laid-back side of the character, who is known for avoiding meetings, skipping desk work, and spending his free time playing online video games. However, even someone as powerful as Narumi will have to deal with unexpected situations during a far from peaceful week.
Both seasons of the anime are available on Crunchyroll with subtitles and a Brazilian Portuguese dub.
