‘Attack on Titan,’ a manga series penned and illustrated by Hajime Isayama from 2009 to 2021, unfolds in a world besieged by Titans—gargantuan, man-eating creatures that have forced humanity behind colossal walls for protection. Regarded as one of the contemporary era’s most popular manga, it boasts over 110 million copies sold as of now.
The anime adaptation, which began in 2013, recently concluded its highly anticipated final episode in November 2023.
Describing the series, the synopsis states, “Known as Shingeki no Kyojin in Japan, the last vestiges of humanity sought refuge behind towering walls to evade the massive, man-eating Titans roaming the land beyond. The Scouting Legion’s valiant members were the only ones daring to venture outside the safety of the walls, and even they seldom returned. Those within the city clung to the illusion of peace until the day their survival hung in the balance, forcing them to make a horrifying choice: kill or be devoured!”
