Wow! I loved reading the first Volume of Gaga- Tima. The art in each panel was amazing I went back through and read this one twice.

The story follows a young girl in living in Japan. In the area of when Kaiju appear and attack for unknown reasons. During an attack from Kaiju Miyako couch's up a ball in which said ball transforms I to the Kaiju Gaga- Tima.

Gaga -Tima defeats the Kaiju saving the citizens around.

Miyako meets a group of people who help her realize that she had a connection to Gaga- Tima.

That's where are first volume ends.

I'm really looking forward to the next volume. I think this story would make a great anime adaptation.

GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis is by far one of the most thrilling and unique Kaiju comics/mangas I’ve encountered in ages, and it doesn’t even feature Godzilla! The story centers around Miyako, a young survivor of a devastating Kaiju attack, who miraculously survives the horrors of a rampaging beast known as GaeaTima. Yet, in a mind-bending twist, years later, the very creature that once nearly ended her life is reborn, and in a shocking revelation, its mother is none other than Miyako herself! (No weird Kaiju sex stuff ya pervs!)

This wild, visually stunning manga is an absolute ride from start to finish. The vibrant Kaiju-filled world is a breathtaking feast for the eyes, with towering creatures and epic destruction brought to life in exquisite detail. The quirky, unpredictable characters inject a refreshing sense of fun and unpredictability into the plot, creating a unique dynamic that keeps the story moving at a perfect pace. Whether it’s the action packed sequences or the quieter moments of emotional depth, the manga strikes a fantastic balance throughout.

With its impeccable artwork, captivating narrative, and just the right amount of offbeat charm, GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis is a delightful experience that kept me hooked from cover to cover. The pacing is great, making it a seamless and highly enjoyable read. Without a doubt, I’ll be eagerly picking up volume 2 to see what wild turns this unpredictable Kaiju saga will take next! Godzilla/Gamera fans go pick this bad boy up!

This was so much fun! If you enjoy kaiju/ Godzilla I would definitely check this out. The story is just getting started, but there was already a kaiju battle. Can't wait for second volume!

I loved this! Great art work! The Kaiju/washer scene had me cracking up. I'm looking forward to reading more of this manga!

Give me Kaiju, give me action and drama and ooh.
This has some real potential around it and I look forward to seeing where the story goes.

Ten years ago, Miyako barely survived a kaiju attack. Now, the creature has become something of a local mascot. Dubbed GAEA-TIMA, the monster brough plentiful seafood and tourism to the town. But, despite designing GAEA-TIMA’s corporate image, Miyako finds herself less enthusiastic about the creature’s influence. When a new kaiju invades, GAEA-TIMA returns… now as an active hero! And it seems that this reborn beast has a very real link to Miyako.

Kaiju films, at their best, can explore difficult and daunting aspects of life. GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis does this in spades, examining the internal conflict that comes when tragedy and benefit go hand-in-hand. The monster designs are fantastic, with many of them bearing similarities to creatures across both the Godzilla and Gamera franchises. And one of those designs is weirdly, surprisingly cute. This is a title with a lot of promise, both in terms of awesome action and its deeper story. If you enjoyed Godzilla Minus One, this is a must-have.

I really enjoyed this Kaiju centered manga. The twist was fun and really made me care for the Kaiju (usually the opposite happens in this genre). I am thoroughly invested in reading more in this series.

I really enjoyed this. It's just the first volume so I can't really judge it too much but it was a brilliant introduction and I think the premise is cool. The character introductions were also good, I can see myself really liking Miyako and I think she's a great MC. This wouldn't be a priority for me to keep up with but I would definitely keep up with it, albeit a little irregularly.

Ten years ago, a Godzilla-like creature called a Kaiju emerged from the Sea of Japan. Its arrival sent a massive wave inland which destroyed the entire town of Sukuba before it disappeared. Luckily for the town’s surviving inhabitants, the sea became murky which created a breeding ground for seafood, so that the town was rehabilitated and became a tourist destination.
During the Kaiju’s appearance, Miyako had looked it right in its eyes and it changed the course of her life forever. As an adult, she has become notorious for the extremely lifelike figurines of that exact Kaiju. Ten years have passed and another Kaiju has emerged in the Sea of Japan, altering her course once again.

This is a really great first book. I'm always excited to see new and interesting Kaiju stories. The story starts off with very mysterious Kaiju unleashing a title wave on a small fishing village only to disappear. Our main character was front and center during the wave but somehow survived. When a second kaiju appears in their bay she fears she may be doomed only for Gaea-Tima to come to the rescue.

This looks really promising and I hope to see more from this series.

I really liked Kent’s other series, Colorless, but GAEA-TIMA didn’t have nearly the same level of intricate worldbuilding or even level of detail in the art. This seems more like a way to design a bunch of different kaiju and have them fight than it is a story- or character-driven manga.

Probably won’t continue with this series
