I am once again Gaea-Tima posting

New Kaiju Manga: DAIKAIJU GAEA-TIMA

Serialized in Monthly Young Magazine since summer 2023, Daikaiju Gaea-tima follows a young woman whose port hometown was attacked by a kaiju when she was a child. The creature wreaked havoc and then disappeared as mysteriously as it had surfaced, leaving behind a strange, sea-life nourishing black substance in the water that led to the town thriving as it rebuilt. Ten years later, the heroine is approached by a man who knows her for her kaiju sofubi figures sold in the town. And... dun dun dun... yes, Gaea-tima coincidentally reappears, changed somehow, and with a seeming connection to the protagonist sculptor.

This series only has around a dozen chapters right now, and TBH I haven't read them all yet (trying to savor!), but already it seems to be a treat for kaiju nuts. Gaea-tima is clearly a Pacific Rim-inspired kaiju, and with the inclusion of the kaiju sofubi element, it's a series clearly rooted in modern kaiju fandom fixations.
