It has been confirmed that the popular Attack on Titan manga series by Hajime Isayama will now be entering its final arc soon. This was revealed in the official Twitter account of the Japanese documentary program Jounetsu Tairiku on Sunday. A teaser video in relation to this was uploaded by TBS.
Hajime Isayama said back in 2014 that he wanted to end the series in three more years. Editor Shintaro Kawakubo also made a similar statement in the same year that “The serialization is slated to end in three to four years.”
The manga was released in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in 2009 and compiled in 26 volumes so far in Japan. Its popularity expanded to a three-season anime series and two Japanese live-action films. A Hollywood film adaptation of the manga is also confirmed and will be produced by Warner Bros.
The franchise is a massive worldwide success with the manga volumes sold over 86 million copies in print. The second part of the third season of the Attack on Titan anime is slated to air in April 2019.
