Attack on Titan Marks 15th Anniversary with Exciting New Project

by Hazel

Attack on Titan is commemorating the 15th anniversary of its iconic manga series with the announcement of a major new project, delighting fans worldwide. The series, created by Hajime Isayama, first debuted in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shonen Magazine in 2009, quickly evolving into a global phenomenon. The manga’s massive success was propelled further by its equally popular anime adaptation, both of which have left an indelible mark on the anime industry. Although both the manga and anime have concluded, the Attack on Titan franchise is far from over.

To honor this milestone, Kodansha has launched a special 15thanniversary project, starting with a fandriven popularity poll. Fans in Japan can now vote for their favorite chapters from the manga’s 139 installments. The results will be compiled into a special Attack on Titan magazine, scheduled for release in Japan on November 6th. The magazine will feature newly commissioned cover art by series creator Hajime Isayama and include selected chapters curated by those involved in the anniversary celebration.

Celebrating 15 Years of Attack on Titan

Popularity polls like this have become a notable trend in the manga industry, often coinciding with the conclusion of major series. For instance, My Hero Academia, which recently ended its decadelong serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump, conducted a worldwide popularity poll as part of its farewell. While Attack on Titan’s poll is currently limited to Japan, there’s hope that the special magazine might eventually see an international release. Regardless of its global availability, the project offers fans a nostalgic journey through the manga’s most memorable moments and a unique way to celebrate the legacy of the series.
