The series began in Kodansha 's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine on September 9, 2009, and has been collected into 23 tankōbon volumes as of August 2017. It is set in a world where humanity lives in cities surrounded by enormous walls ; a defense against the Titans, gigantic humanoids that eat humans seemingly without reason. The story initially centers on Eren Yeager and his childhood friends Mikasa Ackerman and Armin Arlert, who join the military to fight the Titans after their home town is invaded and Eren 's mother is eaten. However, as the story progresses and the truths about the Titans are slowly revealed to the reader, the narrative shifts to encompass Historia Reiss, squad leader Levi, Eren 's father Grisha, and other supporting characters. The spin - off light novel series Before the Fall began in December 2011 and has received a manga adaptation. Two additional light novel series and four additional spin - off manga series have also been created. An anime television adaptation is being produced by Wit Studio and Production I.G, airing in Japan on MBS. The first season aired between April and September 2013, the second season aired between April and June 2017, and a third season is scheduled to be released in April 2018. Four video game adaptations developed by Nitroplus staffers in collaboration with Production I.G were announced to be released as bonus content for the third and sixth volumes of the Blu - ray Disc release of the anime, with another game developed by Spike Chunsoft for the Nintendo 3DS. A two - part live - action film adaptation, Attack on Titan and Attack on Titan : End of the World, and a live - action web - series were released in 2015. An anime adaptation of the Junior High spin - off manga, produced by Production I.G, began airing in October 2015. Attack on Titan and all five spin - off manga are published in North America by Kodansha Comics USA, while the three novel series are published by Vertical. The anime has been licensed by Funimation for North America, by Manga Entertainment for the UK, and by Madman Entertainment for Australasia. Attack on Titan has become a commercial success. As of April 2017, the manga has 66 million copies in print. The release of the anime also saw a boost in the series ' popularity, with it having received widespread critical acclaim for its atmosphere and story. Although it also gained fame in neighboring Asian countries, the series ' themes have been a subject of controversy.

What remains of humanity now resides within three enormous curtain walls : the outermost is Wall Maria ( ウォール ・ マリア, Wōru Maria ) ; the middle wall is Wall Rose ( ウォール ・ ローゼ, Wōru Rōze, sometimes pronounced like rosé ) and the innermost is Wall Sheena ( ウォール ・ シーナ, Wōru Shīna, alt. `` Wall Sina '' ). Inside these walls, humanity has lived in uneasy peace for one hundred years ; many people growing up without ever having seen a Titan. This all changes when one day, a giant 60 - meter ( 200 ft ) - tall Colossus Titan mysteriously appears after a strike of lightning and breaches the outer wall of the Shiganshina district, a town at Wall Maria, allowing the smaller Titans to invade the district. An Armored Titan smashes clean through the gate in Wall Maria, forcing humankind to abandon the land between Wall Maria and Wall Rose, evacuating the remaining population into the inner districts. The sudden influx of population causes turmoil and famine. The Titans are giant humanoid figures ranging between 3 -- 15 meters ( 10 -- 50 ft ) tall and are usually masculine in body structure but lack reproductive organs. Although they do not appear to need food, they instinctively attack and eat humans on sight ; it is mentioned that they derive their energy from sunlight. Furthermore, the Titans also do not have a proper digestive tract ; once they have eaten their fill of human prey, Titans will vomit large, slimy balls, derisively referred to as `` hairballs ''. Finally, their skin is tough and difficult to penetrate, and they regenerate quickly from injuries, save for a weak spot at the nape of their neck. Combating the Titans is the military, which is divided into three branches. Foremost in the story is the Survey Corps ( 調査 兵団, Chōsa Heidan ), which goes out into Titan territory to try to reclaim the land. The Survey Corps are heavily derided in society because of their apparently senseless high casualty rate and little sense of progress. The second and largest branch is the Garrison Regiment ( 駐屯 兵団, Chūton Heidan ), which guards the walls and the civilian populace. The third branch is the Military Police Brigade ( 憲兵 団, Kenpeidan ), who guards the royal family and live relatively relaxed lives, although this eventually results in fraud, corruption, and political subterfuge. The soldiers use a tethering system called Vertical Maneuvering Equipment ( 立体 機動 装置, Rittai Kidō Sōchi ) acting as a grappling system, allowing them to jump onto ( and swing from ) walls, trees, or nearby buildings to attack Titans with dual swords. However, despite it being the soldiers ' primary line of both offense and defense against the Titans, it is useless in open and flat terrain like fields. It is later revealed that the Titans were created when Ymir Fritz found the `` source of all organic life '' and became the Founding Titan where she had the ability to create and control the Titans. When Ymir Fritz died as a side effect of having the Titan ability for 13 years, her soul was split into the 9 Titans where their abilities can be inherited by anyone once the previous wielder is dead. These Titans consist of the Founding Titan, the Attack Titan, the Colossus Titan, the Armored Titan, the Female Titan, the Beast Titan, the Jaw Titan, the Cart Titan, and the War Hammer Titan. The 145th King that wielded the Founding Titan 's power fled to the island of Paradis where he used the countless Colossus Titans to make the walls and erased the memories of the Eldians he brought with him so that they did n't know anything about the outside world. Plot Main article : List of Attack on Titan characters The story of Attack on Titan revolves around the adventures of Eren Yeager, Mikasa Ackerman, and their childhood friend Armin Arlert. After the wall which protects their hometown of Shinganshina is breached by the Colossal Titan leading the other Titans to enter, Eren watches in horror as a smiling Titan eats his mother. Vowing to kill all the Titans, Eren enlists in the military, along with his friends. Five years later, the three cadet graduates are positioned in Trost District, one of the border towns jutting out of Wall Rose when the Titans attack again. In the ensuing battle, Eren saves Armin from being eaten by a bearded Titan, at the cost of him being eaten himself. A Titan later appears and begins fighting the other Titans while ignoring humans ; the Titan is revealed to be Eren, who has developed the ability to transform into one. Though he is seen as a threat by some, he helps the military take back Trost District. After being placed on trial for being a danger to the humans, he is taken in by the Survey Corps ' Special Operations Squad, led by Captain Levi. In an expedition to Shinganshina, the Scouts are attacked by a Female Titan who attempts to capture Eren. Although the Scouts are able to briefly capture the Female Titan, she breaks free and devastates Levi 's squad, forcing the expedition to retreat. Armin determines that the Female Titan is Annie, one of the cadets who taught Eren to fight, and devises a plan to capture her at Stohess. During this operation, collateral damage reveals that Titans reside in and make up the walls surrounding the human settlements. Some of Eren 's friends are also revealed to be able to transform into Titans and had been sent as spies by an unknown party to find something called `` The Coordinate ''. It is later confirmed that the Coordinate is the power to control other Titans at will, and that Eren holds that power. The royal family and the Military Police track Eren and his friend Krista Lenz, who is actually Historia Reiss, the successor to the real king, Rod Reiss, with the current king being but a figurehead. The Survey Corps, losing all will to follow the current government, stage a successful rebellion to overthrow the monarchy, culminating with the death of Rod by the hands of his own daughter, who becomes the new queen. It is then revealed that the Reiss Family was responsible for the creation of the walls 100 years ago using the Coordinate, which was stolen by Eren 's father Grisha, who then transferred it to Eren 's body by turning him into a Titan before allowing his son to devour him. By making use of a new power obtained by Eren that allows him to create massive and permanent structures, the Survey Corps hold another expedition, this time managing to reach Shiganshina and seal the breach to reclaim Wall Maria. However, they are ambushed by Zeke, the man behind the Titan invasions and the spies, leading an army of Titans including the Colossal Titan against them. The battle ends with Zeke retreating, and the Colossal Titan defeated and killed by Armin, who became a Titan Shifter like Eren, but at the cost of the lives of almost all the members of the expedition, including the commander of the Survey Corps, Erwin Smith. Before returning home, the survivors explore the basement of Eren and Mikasa 's old house and recover evidence proving that the human civilization beyond the walls is not extinct as they were always led to believe, but is in fact, thriving. However, they also discover that their race, the Eldians, are being oppressed and persecuted by the Marleyans, the ruling race that with the objective of conquering their island, Paradis, and seizing their natural resources, have transformed Eldian prisoners into rogue Titans to keep them trapped inside the walls and sent Zeke, Annie, and the other Titan Shifters to steal the Coordinate. In the occasion, Eren also learns that Zeke is his older half - brother, who betrayed their father and defected to the Marleyans. After Wall Maria is reclaimed, Eren and the others make preparations for their imminent confrontation with the Marleyan forces. The story then shifts to four years later, where Marley forces including Titan Shifters like Zeke and Reiner, as well as warriors in training to inherit their powers are fighting against another nation called the Mid-East Allied Forces. Though Marley wins the war, they are devastated by the new invention of Anti-Titan artillery which can seriously harm and even kill the most well fortified Titan Shifters. Thus Zeke tells Marley military command that they must once again attempt to steal Eren 's Coordinate power or Marley 's position as a world hegemony will cease. Production Hajime Isayama created a 65 - page one - shot version of Attack on Titan in 2006. Originally, he also offered his work to the Weekly Shōnen Jump department at Shueisha, where he was advised to modify his style and story to be more suitable for Jump. He declined and instead decided to take it to the Weekly Shōnen Magazine department at Kodansha. Before serialization began in 2009, he had already thought of ideas for twists, although they are fleshed out as the series progresses. The author initially based the scenery in the manga on that of his hometown, which is surrounded by mountains. While working at an internet cafe, Isayama encountered a customer who grabbed him by the collar. It was this incident that showed him `` the fear of meeting a person I ca n't communicate with, '' which is the feeling that he conveys through the Titans. When designing the appearances of the Titans, he uses several models such as martial artist Yushin Okami for Eren Yeager 's Titan form as well as Brock Lesnar for the Armored Titan. George Wada, the anime 's producer, stated that the `` Wall of Fear '' was influenced by the isolated and enclosed nature of Japanese culture. He also said that the inner feelings of every individual is one of the series ' main influences. Isayama later would confirm that Attack on Titan was inspired in part by Muv - Luv Alternative, the second visual novel in the Muv - Luv visual novel series. Isayama estimated his basic monthly timeline as one week to storyboard and three weeks to actually draw the chapter. The story is planned out in advance, even marking down in which collected volumes a specific `` truth '' will be revealed. In September 2013, he stated that he was aiming to end the series in 20 collected volumes. Originally, Isayama planned to give the series a tragic conclusion similar to that of the film adaptation of Stephen King 's The Mist, where every character dies. However, positive response to the manga and anime has caused the author to contemplate changing the ending due to the impact it could have on fans.

Reception Manga Attack on Titan won the Kodansha Manga Award in the shōnen category in 2011, was nominated for the 4th Manga Taishō Award and both the 16th and 18th annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. The 2012 edition of Kono Manga ga Sugoi !, which surveys people in the manga and publishing industry, named Attack on Titan the eighth best manga series for male readers, while the 2014 edition named it the sixth best. Attack on Titan was the top favorite manga for Yomiuri Shimbun 's Sugoi Japan Awards in 2015. Attack on Titan was the second highest selling manga series of 2013, with 15,933,801 copies sold in a single year. In April 2014, Oricon reported that 30 million volumes of the series have been sold. In the first half of 2014 it topped the chart, ending One Piece 's five - year reign as the highest selling series in that period, with Isayama surprised about it and thanking the readers. By the end of the year, it was the second best selling manga with 11,728,368 copies sold. In 2015, the series sold 8,778,048 copies ranking third for the year. In 2016, the series sold 6,544,081. The manga 's publisher, Kodansha, credits Attack on Titan for the company 's first revenue increase in eighteen years. The anime is noted to have helped in boosting the series ' sales while Mainichi Shimbun called it a `` once - in - a-decade hit. '' Six of the seven English volumes published in North America at the time charted on The New York Times Manga Best Seller list for the week of October 13, 2013, and volume one was on the list for 81 weeks straight. In June 2015, the first volume clocked in at its 100th week on the top 10 chart. It also currently holds the title of appearing on the list for a volume with 121 weeks. Volume one was also number one on Nielsen BookScan 's list of top 20 graphic novels in American bookstores for October 2013, and for the month of September, the series had more volumes on the list than any other series. The Young Adult Library Services Association in the United States named the series one of its `` Great Graphic Novels for Teens '' in 2013. Kodansha USA 's English release won the 2014 Harvey Award for Best American Edition of Foreign Material. Attack on Titan was the only manga to be nominated for the 2015 Goodreads Choice Award for Best Graphic Novel / Comic. Many have analyzed Attack on Titan as representing `` the hopelessness felt by young people in today 's society. '' while writer Mao Yamawaki called it a `` coming - of - age story of the boys and girls at its core, '' with a new mystery every episode. It is these mysteries that critic Tomofusa Kure says amplifies readers ' expectations. The artwork of the manga has been criticized as crude by some reviewers, with Isayama himself admitting his drawings are `` amateurish. '' However, those same critics stated that after years of serialization, the art has been improving, and Kure believes that had the illustrations been `` refined '', it would not have conveyed the `` eeriness '' that is a key characteristic of the work. In a short review, Jason Thompson noted how the characters conveniently receive `` power - ups '' to create plot twists, but concluded that these said plot twists and the manga 's post-apocalyptic world are `` too good to miss. '' Anime The anime has been very successful in Japan, with average sales of 52,067 across 9 volumes, with a total of 468,603 as of August 2016. It was the number one selling TV anime of 2013 in Japan and is currently the eight best selling anime of 2010 's. It has also been very successful in the U.S. with sales of at least 200,000. It was also the number one streaming anime from Funimation in 2014 and the number one fan favorite Funimation home video released of 2014. The anime adaptation won multiple prizes during the 3rd Newtype Anime Awards, including Best Director, Best Script, Best Soundtrack, Best Theme Song, Top Female Character and Title of the Year. It received the award for Best TV Animation at the 2013 Animation Kobe Awards. It received the award for Animation of the Year at the 2014 Tokyo Anime Award, along with, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Music. It won the 2013 Digital Contents of the Year Award at Japan 's 19th annual Association of Media in Digital ( AMD ) Awards. Carl Kimlinger from Anime News Network was sharply critical of the first two episodes of the anime adaptation. He did praise the show for `` ( bringing ) back the terror of the fee - fi - fo - fum set '', but then said that it `` does not a good show make ''. Kimlinger criticized Araki 's direction, saying he `` clearly intends it to be powerful and unsettling, but it 's just crude and unpleasant. '' On the other hand, other critics from Anime News Network praised much of the series. Rebecca Silverman said it `` is both gorgeous and appalling in its visuals '', and `` an excellent mix of what 18th century Gothic novelist Ann Radcliffe defined as horror versus terror : the one is physical, making you want to look away, and the other is intellectual, making you want to know what 's going to happen next. '' Though there are several apocalyptic action shows, Carlo Santos noted that `` few get as close to perfection as Attack on Titan does ''. Santos described it as `` a masterpiece of death and destruction '' even if he only watched the first episode. Theron Martin of Anime News Network praised the musical score and the `` intense, impactful first episode '' despite his feeling that it has `` limited animation ''. Martin also compared Attack on Titan 's vibe and visual aesthetic to Claymore. John Sinnott of DVD Talk called the series one of the best ones he has ever watched and one `` that anime fans should not miss. '' Political interpretations The series has gained a strong popularity in not only Japan but also throughout the world. For instance, coverage of the anime appeared on the front page of the Hong Kong free newspaper am730 on May 27, 2013, concerning its popularity within Hong Kong as well as in China and Taiwan. However, the series also attracted criticism : the South Korean Electronic Times magazine accused Attack on Titan of having a militaristic message that serves Japanese Prime Minister Shinzō Abe 's political leanings ; while the series also resonated with Hong Kong youths who saw the invading Titans as a metaphor for mainland China. Hong Kong media commentator Wong Yeung - tat praised Isayama 's style and the versatility of Attack on Titan 's setting, which opens itself to readers ' various interpretations. In 2013, after media linked to a 2010 blog post by Isayama indicating that the design of the character Dot Pixis was based on the Imperial Japanese General Akiyama Yoshifuru, an Internet flame war about the general 's war record ( e.g. allowing the Port Arthur massacre to occur ) ensued on his blog and included death threats to the author. Because many of the threats written in Japanese had grammatical errors, it is believed that they were written by people outside of Japan.
