Attack on Titan 1 by Hajime Isayama is a thrilling and heart-pounding introduction to one of the most popular manga series of all time. Set in a dystopian world where humanity teeters on the brink of extinction, this gripping narrative will captivate readers from the first page.

Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by grotesque giants. These titanic beings, typically several stories tall, possess a terrifying hunger for human flesh and appear devoid of any intelligence. With mankind teetering on the edge of annihilation, the remnants of humanity retreated to a sprawling city, encircled by towering walls designed to keep the giants at bay. For over a century, these formidable barriers provided a sense of peace and security, with no signs of outside threats.

This fragile tranquillity is shattered one fateful day when teenager Eren Yeager and his foster sister Mikasa Ackerman witness an unimaginable horror. A colossal giant, far larger than any ever recorded, suddenly appears from thin air and breaches the city's outer wall. The once impenetrable defences crumble, and pandemonium ensues as giants flood the city, leaving death and destruction in their wake.

Faced with this unprecedented catastrophe, Eren, Mikasa, and their friend Armin Arlert must confront their deepest fears and join forces with humanity's last line of defence—the Survey Corps. Their journey will push them to the brink and force them to question everything they thought they knew about their world, the giants, and themselves.

Attack on Titan 1 sets the stage for an epic saga of survival, bravery, and the unyielding human spirit. Isayama's masterful storytelling, combined with his stunning artwork, creates a world that is both horrifying and awe-inspiring. Readers will be drawn into a narrative that explores themes of hope, despair, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of freedom.

Dive into the beginning of this phenomenal series and experience the breathtaking drama and intensity of Attack on Titan 1.
