A gigantic monster returns to the town it ravaged years earlier in this poignant kaiju manga from the creator of the hit series Colorless. In the spirit of the classic Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One, GAEA-TIMA combines thunderous action and character drama with the social conscience and thematic complexity of the genre’s post-war roots.
A monster that people call GAEA-TIMA devastates a small, seaside town. Ten years later, the resilient community has emerged as a tourist destination, and Miyako, who became a local celebrity by surviving the attack, is making a living selling mini-replicas of the beast. But when GAEA-TIMA returns, Miyako and her neighbors will discover that their enduring connection to the creature goes deeper than tourism and trauma. Just what is the true agenda behind the attack of the “gigantis?” Are there more like GAEA-TIMA waiting for their moment? And is humanity capable of responding to violence with anything other than more violence?
When GAEA-TIMA returns to the town of Sukuba, it immediately gravitates toward Miyako, making her an object of imprinting. Tatsukuni Matsushima, head of the kaiju biological research agency FUNE, and his team investigate these recent developments—along with Miyako’s possible maternal connection to GAEA-TIMA. Meanwhile, a new kaiju, Hettorga, threatens to attack the community, and military reinforcements are called in to fight back. How will GAEA-TIMA react to human aggression and can Miyako work with FUNE for a peaceful resolution?
Sukuba native Yutaka, a kindhearted and brave young boy, is bullied at school and belittled by his dad at home. Determined to fight back, he challenges his classmates to a fight which doesn’t quite go his way. Yutaka is the underdog, but he gets a surprise ally–a kaiju. This new sighting triggers more evacuations and military action. Everything Miyako and the FUNE team believe about GAEA-TIMA and kaiju behavior is about to be turned upside down.
