GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis (Dai Kaijū Geāchima, 大怪獣ゲァーチマ), the globally praised kaiju manga by KENT, now has an anime project officially in progress. Alongside the announcement, Kodansha revealed that Volume 7 of the series will launch in Japan on November 20, giving fans the perfect excuse to dive back into its strange seaside world. Details like studio, cast, and broadcast timing are still under wraps, but there’s already plenty to be excited about—and plenty of time to catch up on the manga.
GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis Anime Project Is Officially in Motion
Kodansha has confirmed that an anime project for GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis is currently “in progress,” rather than just a vague dream. The news dropped on November 17, the same week Volume 7 goes on sale in Japan, signaling that the series has grown into one of the publisher’s flagship kaiju titles. For now, the announcement focuses on the project’s existence; no studio logo, teaser, or key visual has been revealed yet, which makes this stage feel like the calm before a very big wave.
From Seaside Disaster to Iconic Kaiju Myth in a Small Town
The story begins when a colossal creature rises from the sea and triggers a devastating wave that batters a small port town. After rampaging, the kaiju suddenly stops moving and dissolves into the ocean, enriching the waters and turning the area into a shockingly rich fishing ground. Locals come to call the monster “a god of bounty” rather than just a threat. A young girl who survived the disaster starts crafting small GAEA-TIMA figures as souvenirs, preserving the memory in a form people can hold. Ten years later, another kaiju appears off the rebuilt coast, and the series asks a simple but chilling question: is a kaiju humanity’s enemy, its savior, or something in between?
KENT and Monthly Young Magazine Behind This Kaiju Drama
GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis is written and illustrated by KENT, a creator known for detailed, heavy-looking linework and carefully constructed sci-fi worlds. The series runs in Kodansha’s Monthly Young Magazine, a seinen magazine that specializes in slightly offbeat, high-concept stories. On top of the print serialization, the manga is also available digitally through Kodansha’s official services, and overseas readers may recognize it from translated editions, including the North American release under the title GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis.
Places Fans Can Legally Read GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis Now
If the anime news has you curious, the safest move is to start with the original manga. In Japan, readers can follow the series in Monthly Young Magazine and on official platforms like YanMaga Web, the Magazine Pocket app, and Kodansha’s global-facing service K MANGA. Availability may vary by region, but these are the core places connected directly to the publisher. For overseas fans, keeping an eye on translated editions and digital storefronts linked to Kodansha is the best way to read GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis legally and support the series as it heads toward animation.
Getting Ready for the Anime While Volume 7 Arrives in Japan
With Volume 7 on the way, the timing of this anime project announcement feels very deliberate. The manga has already laid down a rich foundation: a town rebuilt on the blessings of a dissolved kaiju, survivors still processing their trauma, and unease about what it means when another giant creature appears a decade later. That mix of large-scale destruction and intimate human drama is exactly the kind of material that can shine in animation. Even without a trailer yet, this is the perfect moment for both long-time readers and total newcomers to jump in before the first episode ever airs.
Stay Ahead of the Wave and Share Your Hype
If you want to be the friend who explains “what’s really going on” when the anime drops, now is your chance. Start exploring the manga through official channels like YanMaga Web’s series page or the K MANGA service, and keep an eye out for future updates on staff, cast, and streaming plans. When more anime details arrive, you’ll already know whether GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis is a story of monsters, humans—or a world where the line between them keeps shifting.
