Shingeki no Kyojin or better know as Attack on Titan
|
Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly
exterminated by Titans. Titans 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 Titans. Flash forward
to the present and the city has not seen a Titan in over 100 years.
Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific
as the city walls are destroyed by a Colossal Titan that appears out of
thin air. As the smaller Titans flood the city, the two kids watch in
horror as their mother is eaten alive. Eren vows that he will murder
every single Titan and take revenge for all of mankind. Nominated for
the 4th Manga Taisho Awards (2011) and won the Kodansha Manga Award
shōnen category (2011). In English, the series is roughly translated to
'Attack on Titan'.
