Seiryu Tokinage is a two-hundred-foot-tall lizard living in Brooklyn. He is part of a community of "Tall people," giants resembling animals trying their best to mesh into human society. Seiryu works as a one-man police unit protecting New York City from alien attacks. He feels unappreciated by the people he saves and has developed gripes with the people closest to him. Seiryu is jealous of his roommate Junior, a Tall bonobo, who New York adores because of his job as a window washer. His best friend, Sook, a giant fish-frog, has become an intolerant drunk. Chloe, his Cloverfield-esque girlfriend, is often too awkward and shy to interest him. Seiryu decides to leave town before his bitterness turns him into a kaiju-a rogue Tall man who destroys cities and eats humans.

"A sweet, charming story that's basically made to be read with your feet up on a beach chair... if you have those." -The Blob
