★5 [Unbridled Curiosity] Suited joins the battle in this update!
The biggest troublemaker in CLOZER, Suited is also the head of the anti-Kaiju weapon developer Suited Technical Lab (STL). Known to be a massive Kaiju enthusiast, she prioritizes her intellectual curiosity above all else, leaving little room for ethics. The name “Suited” is self-proclaimed; her real name is apparently something else.

■ About Anime Kaiju No. 8
Based on the popular manga series by Naoya Matsumoto, serialized on Shonen Jump+ (Shueisha) since 2020, the anime Kaiju No. 8 portrays intense battles between the Japan Defense Force, tasked with eliminating Kaiju, and the monstrous creatures that routinely threaten human lives. In Japan, the original manga has surpassed 19 million copies in circulation (including digital editions), with 16 volumes published to date (as of September 4, 2025).
The Anime Season 1, which aired from April to June 2024, quickly gained massive popularity, ranking No. 1 on domestic daily rankings across major streaming platforms in Japan. Building on that momentum, a theatrical compilation of Season 1, including the side story Hoshina’s Day Off, premiered in Japan on March 28, 2025. Subsequently, the Anime Season 2 aired from July to September 2025. Furthermore, the production of the Final Chapter and an original short animation, Narumi’s Week at Work, has been officially announced, as the series continues to draw enthusiastic reactions from fans worldwide.
