In this post-apocalytpic sci-fi story, humanity has been devastated by the bizarre, giant humanoids known as the Titans. Little is known about where they came from or why they are bent on consuming mankind. Seemingly unintelligent, they have roamed the world for years, killing everyone they see. For the past century, what's left of man has hidden in a giant, three-walled city. People believe their 100-meter-high walls will protect them from the Titans, but the sudden appearance of an immense Titan is about to change everything. Winner of the 2011 Kodansha Manga Award (Shonen) and nominated for the prestigious Osamu Tezuka Cultural Prize for 2012.

I chose this rating because the drawings were really really good but I didn't always know what was going on due to what the characters were saying.

I really like the design of the characters but I don't really understand the science-y stuff in the story like how the gear works.

I would recommend this to anyone who likes a story with action, drama, kinda romance, and can handle gore. Honestly, an overall great book but kinda confusing in some parts for me. I will definitely read the next volume.

An amazingly inclusive cast, an unforgettable story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 5, 2015

I find it absolutely hilarious that there are people who could read Attack on Titan and think that it's got some kind of xenophobic or nationalistic/isolationist political message in it. Because seriously--did those people even READ the story? Are they so unable to read the (not even that subtextual) subtext that they don't realize that AoT is a huge CRITICISM of any kind of overly isolationist, dictatorial government? If the main characters' passionate, curious attitudes toward freedom and going out to see what's beyond the walls of the tiny world they were born into in volume 1 wasn't hint enough, just keep on reading and the story will spell it out for you--why it's so important to face one's fears head-on and push outside your little "safety bubble" of complacency and LIVE (and it'll do it while being thrilling, entertaining, gut-wrenchingly moving, and surprisingly humorous at times, and will remind you about both how awful and how amazing human beings can be in the worst of times).

As for the feeble and completely inaccurate claims of xenophobia, etc, our handful of slower-witted readers have suggested, I'd actually say Attack on Titan is one of the MOST inclusive, non-xenophobic (and NON-MISOGYNISTIC, while we're at it!) manga to come out of Japan in the past two decades, especially in the popular shounen manga category. While most shounen manga like to stick to a heavily (or entirely) Japanese setting with mostly Japanese heroes (which is totally fine, since these stories were written by Japanese people for the Japanese market), AoT goes out of its way to a) set the story in an identifiably western land with identifiably western-looking characters with western-sounding names (German, in fact, for the majority: Jaeger, Franz, Thomas, Annie, Reiner, Bertholdt, Erwin, Armin, Levi). Though interestingly, the author Isayama Hajime goes a step further by making the population ethnically DIVERSE on top of that--we have Mikasa Ackerman, whose Asian heritage and Japanese name are discussed frankly to be what they are (Asian/Japanese). Then we have characters like Franz, Ymir and Hanji Zoe who have clearly darker coloring and facial features that make them identifiably black, middle-eastern, and either middle-eastern or Indian/South Asian, respectively.

In fact, in general, Isayama breaks so many molds of the "conventional look" of comics characters to make his characters visually diverse and inclusive--Mikasa Ackerman, the main heroine, is shown to be visually more muscular and thus, logically, *heavier* (yet still feminine and beautiful) than the main boy character (and her love interest) because she is blatantly shown to be physically stronger than him. There are very tall girls like Ymir and Nanaba, as well as very short ones who still kick butt (like Annie) or not (like Krista), girls with larger/not-cutely-Disney-Princess-like noses like Annie, boys who are petite and effeminate/delicate-looking like Armin, and boys who are super-tall (Bertholdt) or super-buff (Reiner) as well. The biggest badass in the entire series is a petite, muscular 30-something-year-old man who is SHORTER than almost all the kids and has the kind of baby face petite guys do in real life--but you would never see any of these types of people in any other manga (or western graphic novel, come to think of it. Especially the diversity among the women--western graphic novels require all major female characters to have the same slim, buxom body type and flawless, pretty faces with cute/petite noses, etc).

But even aside from all the awesome inclusiveness in the looks and personalities of the characters, what makes AoT so special to me is that Isayama also has a very wide, inclusive view of all types of people in his heart and that inclusiveness and ability to see all people, regardless of race, looks, attitudes, etc, as PEOPLE who are worthwhile and worth having compassion for, is what makes his cast and their relationships so striking, unique, memorable, and imbued with the power to touch the audience.

As for the whole premise of the story--of these humans, hiding (or more appropriately, TRAPPED) behind walls to hide from these giant, insensible, inhuman terrors--the POINT of the story is that the heroes and the handful of brave, perhaps foolish, people who join the Survey Corps are not content to live trapped inside the boundaries they were born into, even in the face of the deadly, terrifying hell that awaits them outside those boundaries. It's a story not just about the Japanese or any particular ethnic group--it's about humanity as a whole, and how magnificent the indomitable human spirit is that would choose freedom in the face of death-defying odds and fear over a life of safe complacency. It's the same struggle human beings the world over have faced since civilization began (Henry David Thoreau's "Most men lead lives of quiet desperation" essay, and "Just Around the Riverbend" from Pocahontas are just two of many, many examples)--do you stay in a safe, mind-numbing existence, or have the courage to push outside your safe zone and LIVE?

THAT is what Attack on Titan is about.

"Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!"

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 27, 2014

These words come from the now iconic song used in the first opening of the Shingeki no Kyojin/Attack on Titan anime ("Guren no Yumiya"/"Feuerroter Pfeil und Bogen").

After having finished watching the anime's first season, I've decided to check out the manga, and I have to say it's every bit as good as the anime series, if not better.

We're introduced to our protagonist Eren Yeager, a young boy who dreams of joining the Survey Corps and seeing the world outside of Wall Maria. We also get to see his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and their friend Armin Arlert, who shares his desire of seeing the outside world. Then, a colossal Titan appears from out of the blue, breaking through Wall Maria, allowing Titans to enter humanity's last city after 100 years of relative peace. On that day, Eren witnesses his mother's death as a Titan swallows her whole--a moment that solidifies his desire to exterminate the Titans for good.

Years later, Eren and his group, along with their fellow 104th Training Squad cadets, ready themselves to defend Trost against the looming Titan threat. But when the Colossus Titan reappears and smashes Wall Rose, it's a replay of what happened in Shiganshina as cadets left and right are mercilessly killed by the Titans as they invade the district.

Volume 1 is definitely exciting and visceral, pulling no punches in the gruesome deaths shown at the hands of the Titans. It ends on a cliffhanger, though if you've already seen the anime series, you know what will happen.

The cover itself is iconic with Eren brandishing his paring blades against the Colossus Titan. The back cover has the outline of the top ten graduates of the 104th Training Squad.

If you've yet to see the anime or read past Volume 1, then I recommend skipping the interview with Isayama Hajime as he reveals spoilers that will be expanded upon in Volume 2.

Wow I did not expect that ending.
The plot and history has been laid out (I like the way it was done in a flashback), some characters have been introduced, and plenty of secrets and mystery alluded to.
Story is great, the drawings of the titans will probably keep me up at night though lol.

これは「進撃の巨人」という漫画の英語版です。英語の多読になればと購入。
KindleHDの7インチで読みました。文字は小さめですが、アメコミに比べたら読める大きさです。
値段は高いですが、洋書を紙の本で買うよりは安いです。
設定の難しい部分もありますが、基本的に巨人が襲うという分かりやすい絵なので、
英語がそれほど分からなくても楽しめます。
（以前に心理描写の洋書を読みましたが、英語が伝わらず楽しくなかったです）

「駆逐してやる！」「この世から１匹残らず」
「I'm gonna destroy them!!」「Every last one ...of those animals ...that's on this earth!!」
なんだか英語だと迫力に欠けます。もちろん私の英語力の無さです。
こういうのが理解できるようになると洋書が面白いのでしょうね。
海外でも受けているそうです。星5つです。
