Shingeki no Kyojin has a cumulative 100 million copies of its compiled volumes in circulation worldwide.Wit Studio adapted the manga into 25-episode television anime in Spring 2013.

Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season (Attack on Titan Final Season), produced by animation studio MAPPA, began airing on December 7 last year, and is scheduled to run for 16 episodes. Crunchyroll and Funimation are simulcasting the anime with subtitles. Kodansha Comics licensed the manga in English in October 2011 and published the 32nd volume on December 22. The 33rd volume is planned for an April 27 release. The manga has also been published in multiple foreign languages, including French, Italian, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, and Chinese. Funimation licensed the anime series in North America and distributed the first season in two Blu-ray and DVD volumes in June and September 2014. The second season was released on a single volume in February 2018. The third season was shipped in two home video installments in August 2019 and last March. Shingeki no Kyojin won the 35th Kodansha Manga Awards in the Shounen category and was nominated for the 4th Manga Taisho awards in 2011, as well as the 16th and 18th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize.

| RIP. Undoubtedly the most popular franchise of the past decade. |

| Thank you! You may now rest. |
| I'm an anime only watcher (need that godly soundtrack and animation) but yay! |
 |
| So four more chapters huh. |
 |
| Hopefully the whole manga gets adapted because 16 episodes is too little. What an amazing franchise. |
 |
| When is Isayama's onsen opening up tho? Baths > Paths |
 |
| Will this manga go down as the greatest of all time? |

| This show changed the popularity of anime. It will never be forgotten. |

NewYearSameMe said: Dumb question, there can't ever exist such thing as "the best". Imagine if I say something stupid as "Yotsubato! is better than SnK!". Both manga are fundamentally different and can't be compared on most fronts. For something to be the best, it has to be better than the rest in everything, which is impossible.Will this manga go down as the greatest of all time? |
| "Life is too bitter, so coffee, at least should be sweet..." - Hikigaya Hachiman (Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatte Iru) |
| I've been thinking about catching up to it just before it ends. So I have until April to catch up on AoT. |
| The end of an era. I was wondering how will they pull this off when current anime is titled "The Final Season", yet manga is still going. Looks like we have an answer. |
 |
| Being in the fandom has been the most memorable part of my life in the past 3-4 years. I'm happy and sad at the same time looking at my favorite story wrapping up in a few months. I'll miss the monthly hype, the new memes, and theories. Thank You Isayama-San, Thank You Attack on Titan for kinda shaping my personality. I guess it's time to move forward in life. |
| Thank you for the work, Isayama-sensei. Thank you for the countless entertainment for the past decade. |

| It was a great run. Thanks to everyone who worked on it. |
 |
| I don't know what to say really..... I have been following this series for 7 long years, following the monthly manga at the beginning of every month for 7 long years to the point its now apart of my life and now after April, that will all be over..... I am glad that I was apart of this series, being involved in the discussion and theories and just overall with the fanbase, its been a long ride but all good thing must come to an end. I hope for an impactful ending! Dedicate your hearts one last time! Isayama you can finally have your well deserve rest.  |
| Thank you yams, you crazy bastard. |
| Once this ends my life will end... SHINZOU WO SASAGEYO!! |
| I remember a time when nobody talked about this series. Once the anime released, it blew up like nobody's business. Congratulations on a great run |
| I feel like they will not make Final Season part 2 but instead they might end it with a movie. The final fight is so big and they need a movie budget |
| No other anime or manga has kept me invested so much for this long. For everything else I was really into in my life I would lose interest by the time it ends or simply as a result of time. But AoT never let my attention slip away over the past 8 years I've been following it. Whether the ending is good or bad, this will forever be my favorite manga simply because of countless hours spent reading it, discussing, meming and theory-crafting about it can never be erased. |
| finally, everything has to end someday, I am a fan of this franchise since 2013. curious about these multiple projects. |
    |
| Only time will tell when we get something as great as AOT again. Farewell I guess. |
| Sad that its ending but everything has to end someday . I hope the ending is satisfying . |
  Something that’s supposed to die and doesn’t… will eventually rot away , whether it’s a man or a nation |
| Let me be honest, I am glad that SnK manga is finished and it actually has an ending unlike One Piece because to be frank, I hate those things that never end, there's nothing more sad than something that never ends and then you gradually loose interest in it, especially if its something as amazing as SnK. Good Bye SnK and Thank You for every thing. |
I am a useless student of society. Tests are my body and Grades are my blood. I have done over a thousand assignments. Unseen by teachers, nor done properly. Yet, those hands shall never hold an outstanding grade. So, as I pray... Unlimited Homeworks. |
| All good things come to an end. And Shingeki no Kyojin is more than just good so it's a little hard to take this in but we've still got 4 chapters to go and hopefully the manga will sign off on a great note and deservedly put this series into the legendary tier then. Thank you Isayama-sensei for this wonderful monogatari! And possibly more Shingeki no Kyojin, hell yeah! Can't wait to see what Kodansha's got in store for us next. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| AOT is definitely one of the greatest anime/manga series. Thank you Isayama for creating this masterpiece. |
| How much is that by modern standards? The cult titles haven't been around very long lately. |
 |
| Finally the day I was waiting for is coming soon! Thanks Isayama sensei! Thanks for creating this wonderful manga! |

| Really happy that the author didn't drag it out. Props to him and I hope he makes a new manga series instead of SnK spinoffs. |

| Thank you Isayama sensei, thank you for making this masterpiece end. Whatever the ending will be, this series will and always have a special place in my life. Can't wait your next manga series, i hear it's a black comedy. |

|
| SnK is one of the greats mangas there's no debating on it. Sad to see it end but props to the author for sticking to himself if he set an ending without draging. |
 |
| You are free now. If it's ending in April that would be 139 chapters though |
 |
| We already knew that but I'm happy we have 4 instead of 3 chapters left |
| Thank god. I dread what comes next. |
| And... another masterpiece bites the dust. I’m satisfied with it though. It had a great run. Anxious to see how it will end. |

Do you even read One Piece, lmao. Because the story advances, quite a lot in the past couple of years. Regarding SnK, I just hope the ending is as the author wanted it, because we know editorials love to put the possibility of sequels or pretty endings so people end in a happy note, even if it doesn´t make sense for the series. |
