| Attact Of TitanShingekiNo Kyojin |
Attack on Titan (進撃の巨人 Shingeki no Kyojin?, lit. "Advancing Giants") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hajime Isayama.
The series began serialization in Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine on September 9, 2009, and has been collected into 11 tankōbon volumes as of August 9, 2013. It is set in a world where humanity lives inside cities surrounded by enormous walls due to the Titans, gigantic humanoid creatures who devour humans seemingly without reason.
The story centers on Eren Jaeger, his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert, whose lives are changed forever after the appearance of a colossal titan brings about the destruction of their home town and the death of Eren's mother.A spin-off light novel series began in December 2011, and has received a manga adaptation. Two additional spin-off manga series are also being serialized, and an television anime adaptation produced by Wit Studio and Production I.G aired in Japan on MBS between April and September 2013.
Vowing revenge and to reclaim the world from the Titans, Eren, Mikasa and Armin join the Survey Corps, an elite group of soldiers who fight Titans outside the walls.
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 being developed by Spike Chunsoft for the Nintendo 3DS.
A live action film adaptation is also in production. Attack on Titan and all three spin-off manga are published in North America by Kodansha Comics USA, while the novels will be published by Vertical.
The anime has been licensed by Funimation for North America, and by Manga Entertainment for the United Kingdom and Australasia.
The manga series has become a commercial success, selling over 20 million volumes as of mid-2013.
The release of the anime also saw a boost in the series' popularity with several writers receiving critical acclaim for its atmosphere and story.
Although it also gained fame in neighboring Asian countries, the series's themes have been a subject of controversy.
