Seven Seas Entertainment have acquired official rights to publish an official Godzilla Minus One novelization! Read on for the official press release provided to us today:
Seven Seas Entertainment is thrilled to announce the license acquisition of the novelization of Godzilla Minus One by Takashi Yamazaki. From the director of the hit film Godzilla Minus One comes the novelization packed with even more action and story to celebrate Godzilla’s 70th anniversary! In postwar Japan, the kaiju of legend has become more powerful and fearsome. Can a country in shambles withstand the might of Godzilla?
After failing to carry out his suicide mission, disgraced kamikaze pilot Koichi Shikishima returns to ravaged postwar Japan to find his parents dead and country destroyed. Having lost both his honor and his family, he must try to slowly rebuild alongside the thousands orphaned by the Tokyo air raids—including a woman named Noriko and her adopted child, whom he invites into the ramshackle remains of his home.
But as these struggling survivors begin to reclaim a semblance of stability, a new and unprecedented threat appears on the horizon—a rampaging, colossal creature from the deep that their defeated nation cannot defend against. With no hope of aid from the occupying forces, can a ragtag militia of misfits band together to thwart this titanic terror?
Whether you've already seen the movie, or just heard all the hype, delve deeper into the world of Godzilla Minus One in this gripping novelization penned by the Academy Award-winning sfx artist and director Takashi Yamazaki!
Godzilla Minus One will be released in September 2025 for $15.99 USA / $19.99 CAN, with the series available in a large-trim paperback edition. An ebook edition will also be available on digital platforms.
