2009 marked the start of publication of Bessatsu Shonen Magazine, which came about by gathering some famous authors and supporting them with many new recruits who had never held a leading role before that moment. Kodansha hoped to find some hidden treasures, which happened immediately, thanks The attack of the giants.
Shingeki no Kyojin, which is the title by which it was published at home and by which it was known to the public for several years, had a very strong impact in the manga industry. It only took a few months to discover this little gem, which then turned out to be a real diamond. Today The Attack of the Giants ended waiting to see the finale also in an animated version, with the work of Studio MAPPA that will take shape with the final part in 2023.
In the meantime, however, the volumes have been resold in every comic shop. The manga thus achieves a new sales record: Attack of the Giants has a circulation of 110 million copies. This update was released by Oricon, the company that has been sharing sales figures for manga in Japan for years. A year and a half after the last chapter, the series is still attracting readers: who knows if the latest episodes will boost sales of more tanko candies, or if the Attack of the Giants finale will have a different impact.
