birds of a feather.

'til im in a grave.

Kn8 + love. Self explanatory

Gender neutral!reader for the boys, fem!reader for Mina's and Rin's, I do whatever I want

Kafka Hibino is really sweet when he's in love. Not particularly flirty in any sense, but he's cute and kinda sappy. Protective. Not jealous, but insecure. He's always afraid you'll ditch him for somebody else, because he's always felt inadequate in every sense of the word and wonders if you find him disappointing (nope). Probably won't ever tell you that he loves you, you'll find out from Kikoru someone else who blurts it out without realizing that you didn't think Kafka's actions were romantically inclined.

Mina Ashiro is quiet when she's in love. Almost nobody would know except Kafka and Hoshina, and maybe Okonogi. Of course there are rumors that the commander Ashiro is into women (a lot of men out there are. Not thrilled about it tbh) but nobody knows whether it's true or not except, again, Kafka and Hoshina, and maybe Okonogi. Maybe. Anyway, she doesn't really tell anyone; if they know, it's because they figured it out. With you, she's shy and more girlish than her image suggests. Not that she's giggling and twirling her hair, but there's a pink tint on her cheeks when you're around. When you talk to her, she gets tongue tied. Would NEVER ask you out (shes nervous and doesnt know if you like women) so Kafka has to push for her to try.

Reno Ichikawa is very shy when in love. He's just a kid, sweet and kinda dumb. The first time he sees you he does a double take 😂 yeah he's not subtle, everyone knows. Unlike Mina, he IS giggling and twirling his hair. Finds out your type and tries to be more like that. When called out on this, he starts stuttering and fake laughing and then changes the subject. Hes always bringing you water during training, too, and other stuff like that. Again. He's sweet but very young and inexperienced so he's a bit of a goof.

Soshiro Hoshina is arguably the most mature in love. He's dedicated and protective, loyal to a fault. Man's gotten his heart broken many times, I think. maybe even by Mina? One sided hoshimina...food for thought. If he's in love with you, he won't necessarily share that information outright, but he won't withhold it either if anyone asks. He watches you a lot; he'll pull strings to keep you safe. When it comes down to him nearly dying all the time though, he might impulsively tell you how he feels after the fact. But he is a little shit so he's probably going to tease you when your eyes pop out of your head after he walks up and says "i love you" without it being prompted.

Iharu Furuhashi is loud as shit when he's in love. He's not direct but he says objectively sappy things all the time to your face. Would flat out say "i fucking adore you, moron" if you didn't get it. Although he doesn't make it clear that his intentions are romantic (never says "I'm in love with you"), but like Reno he is not subtle. He's not as giddy and embarrassing as his "rival" is, but he's pretty obvious and forward about his feelings.

Gen Narumi is annoying when he's in love. He's bugs you nonstop and follows you like a puppy. Its embarrassing how smitten he is, honestly. What a boyfailure. He actually tries to clean up his act a bit to impress you, and shows off at every opportunity. If youre not impressed, he's sulking. If you are, he's puffed up and macho. Despite all his bs he's actually really in love with you and willing to do crazy shit to get your attention, not to mention keep you safe. Would refuse to die just to see you again.

Rin Shinonome is a shameless flirt. She'd totally call you "babe," wink, all that stuff. Like Narumi, she's kind of a showoff, but not to the same degree. And if you don't notice her, she won't pout; on the contrary, she'll work harder to get your attention. Makes fun of you lovingly. She's kind of frivolous and develops crushes on women all the time, but when it gets to be serious feelings she commits. Horniest of the group too, ngl

the women of kaiju no. 8 are incredible! that's what I said to myself while reading kn8, after all, few anime/manga feature badass female characters. in kaiju no 8 mina, kikoru, minase, hakua, shinonome, okonogi and nakanoshima are highlighted some more than others and yet almost all the fanfiction is on the ship hoshina/narumi or hoshina/kafka so yes it's nice I like these ships, that's not the problem, the thing is that after reading this all the time I'm disgusted with them and I want new things... like more realistic ships like hoshina/mina, kikoru/reno narumi/shinonome (don't tell me that narumi and shinonome don't go together in the manga just read chapter 82 in volume 11, Kikoru is not the romantic type but in fanfiction with reno it works and hoshina is pretty good with mina the only problem at the limit is her emotionless face)

one of the things i love most about kaiju no. 8 is that the female characters are incredibly powerful, but being powerful never compromises their femininity.

mina, kikoru, rin, etc can all wear skirts and also fucking obliterate kaiju. they can have distinctly feminine physical traits and personality traits while also kicking ass.

the series does not go out of its way to make them masculine in order to justify their strength and that's so, so important and really empowering to see.

3 am.

i just want it to be you.

Kn8 + their "type." Fem!reader because it's easier for this specific post

Kafka Hibino likes women who are tough, but cute. Might even go for tsunderes. In general, he likes people who go along with his antics, so that, too. He'll be attracted to noble and selfless ladies who like to help others, whether they're physically strong or not.

Mina Ashiro likes the classic femme type. Classy, elegant, feminine. Even so, she likes a bit of edge in a lady's personality. I see her as the type to like it if a woman has no fighting skills but will still try, lol. It's the principle of the thing, she thinks. Her type is much like Kafka's but softer.

Reno Ichikawa likes shy, sweet girlies. Women he could sit in comfortable silence with are his favorite. He also likes if yoyre receptive to his (secretly) sappy personality. Romantics suit him well. Probably into quiet nerdy girls. Defends himself when people say he's boring with "but the quiet ones are often kinda freaky" lol

Soshiro Hoshina likes a classy lady. Witty, intelligent, confident, and capable women are his preference. He doesn't mind whether you have combat abilities or not, as long as you're kind and have basic decorum. Funny women are good for him, too.

Iharu Furuhashi definitely goes for the manic pixie girl type. Adventurous and pure of heart. Finds it really hot if you are smarter than him which isn't hard to be sometimes, lol. Aesthetically I think he's likely to go for goth/punk/alt girls.

Gen Narumi likes feisty women who kinda scare him. You have to be able to roast him, tbh. He likes confidence. Loyalty is important to him, he's a sucker for serial monogamists even though he won't say it. Please take interest in his weird games.

Rin Shinonome has similar taste to Gen; she likes a girl who can challenge her. But unlike Narumi, she likes praise, not roast battles. Enthusiastic cheerleader types. Sporty girls with a lot of attitude. She's not much for the sweetheart types; she wants to fight for dominance tbh.
