Following the presentation by the Italian publisher Panini at the Anime Friends 2013 event in São Paulo, it was announced that the manga of the moment, Shingeki no Kyokin/Attack on Titan, will be released by the publisher later this year. To our delight and that of all the nerds and otaku who enjoy this great work.

Even without a defined title, the publisher guaranteed that the release will happen in November and that the format and price should be announced closer to the publication date. Shingeki no Kyokin (or “Attack on Titan” as it is known in English) has gained considerable notoriety in recent months after the premiere of the anime on Japanese television produced by Studio Wit (a subsidiary of Production IG).

The manga has been published in Japan since 2009 and currently has 11 collected volumes. The story follows humanity as it has been subjugated by gigantic beings known as Titans, forcing them to live hidden behind walls. After more than 100 years of peace, we follow the young Eren, Mikasa, and Armin as they face the return of these gigantic beings who, for some unknown reason, destroy the walls and attack humans.
