Attack on Titan

German readers first encountered Hajime Isayama's dark fantasy epic through Carlsen Comics' 2014–present series, which collects the original manga's 34 issues. Isayama both writes and illustrates this brutal, morally complex story of humanity's last survivors fighting giant man-eating Titans within towering walls. The series reshaped modern manga's approach to genre, blending horror, political intrigue, and philosophical questions about freedom and sacrifice. Its uncompromising vision made it a defining work of 2010s comics, resonating far beyond its initial audience.
