Trivia[]
- There are some differences in this version of Kaiju Girls compared to the more well known ASCII Media Works version.
- The POP's Kaiju Girls are in fact the actual Ultra kaijus in the bodies of high school girls with their memories intact.
- The majority setting of the manga, namely the academy in which the Kaiju Girls attend, the Kaiju Graveyard High School, is not located on Earth but instead in the Kaiju Graveyard.
- Alien Metron being an idol fan could be a reference to Ultraman Ginga's Alien Metron Jace.
- Volume 1 and 7's covers were designed to compliment each other.[1]
