Attack on Titan Vol 1 and 2

Attack on Titan Vol 1 and Attack on Titan Vol 2 by Hajime Isayama, 208 and 192 pages

Cover image for Attack on Titan. 1/ [Hajime Isayama] ; translated and adapted by Sheldon Drzka ; lettered by Steve Wands.This manga series came as a recommendation from fellow blogger Nathan S. The series is about the last surviving city of humans. The reason there is only one surviving city of humans is because a titan army suddenly attacked humanity and ate everyone else. With the cities strong walls and cannons for defense the city has been at peace for over 100 years. That all changed when the colossal titan appeared. Most titans are 4-15 meters all and so the 50 m tall walls were more than adequate to keep the titans at bay. But the colossal titan is 60 m tall and was able to smash in the front gate.

The series is still developing in the first two books as we are just starting to meet the different types of titans and learn about the city and its technology. It looks like it is going to be very action packed and worth the read.

Further research by Nathan shows that this series has recently gotten quite the following in Japan with over 33 million books being sold. There is also an anime series, and the titans have been featured in a car commercial.
