Description: Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants.
Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.

Nominated for the 4th Manga Taisho Awards (2011) and winner of the 35th annual Kodansha Manga award for Best Shounen.

I've been reading this...I think I'm up to chapter 4? I liked it though.

[solegama]

that just Volume 1, I think

3 volumes are out so far, I asume you still have to read 2 volumes

[Chopsticksticky]

Aye! I have a lot to read lol

[solegama]

I personally really like it so far, the story is so good that the sketchy art doesnt bother's you at all (though it really fits with this manga)

[HaruDiclonius]

will there be more chapters? D::::
the story is too good to be left unfinished :/

[solegama]

yes there will :O

its just that the group are scanalating it by volume and not by chapters, so it takes time til its scanalated (I guess this could change in the future since the manga is like uber popular)

[HaruDiclonius]

that kinda sucks xD
manga has so horrifying moments btw D:

[|*PNA*| ARES]

there is this morbid sense of reality to it, and does a really great job of driving home a sense of hopelessness against the Titans and their threat....love it.

and I liked Mikasa's past a lot
