About the series
A sweetly monstrous romantic comedy from Yen Press, Kaiju Girl Caramelise (2019–present) follows a high school girl who transforms into a giant, city-stomping kaiju whenever her emotions run high—especially around her crush. Written and illustrated by Spica Aoki, this eight-issue series blends classic monster-movie chaos with the awkward, heartfelt humor of teenage romance. It matters as a fresh, genre-bending take on the kaiju trope, using its premise to explore the anxieties of young love and self-acceptance.
