With the highest kaiju-emergence rates in the world, Japan is no stranger to attack by deadly monsters. But kaiju don't attack every day! Sometimes, even the best and brightest kaiju-fighting heroes get a chance to relax. Join the top troops of the Third Division of the Japan Defense Force, a military organization tasked with the neutralization of kaiju, on their days off!
