About the Manga: A Long-Running Hit

The source material for this anime is the manga by Naki Ringo, which has been serially published in Comic Alive since February 2018. It’s been quite a journey, with Kadokawa releasing the eighth volume in September 2024 and the ninth volume already scheduled for December 23, 2024.

For international fans, the series is available in English thanks to Yen Press, who licensed it back in September 2018. They published the eighth English volume very recently, on October 28, 2024, so you can catch up before the anime hits!

What is Otome Kaijuu Caraméliser All About?

At its core, this is a story about the terrifying, exhilarating, and literally monstrous power of a first crush. Kuroe Akaishi is a quiet, introverted high school girl who is used to being alone. Her life takes an unexpected turn when the bright and handsome Arata Minami reaches out to her. As her feelings for him grow, so does a bizarre physical reaction: her heart pounds so hard from embarrassment that she starts to transform into a giant kaijuu (monster).

This isn’t just a personal problem—it becomes a national crisis as Japan faces the threat of this mysterious monster. The big question is: can Minami accept Kuroe’s feelings, even when she’s in her colossal form? The fate of their relationship, and possibly the world, depends on it. Get ready for a romance where love really is a battlefield!
