Series Overview: Attack on Titan is a postapocalyptic manga series about man-eating giants that has been a massive hit in Japan, where it has sold over 25 million copies, and in the U.S., where Vol. 1 recently celebrated 84 weeks on the New York Times manga bestseller list. The hit anime adaptation recently aired on Cartoon Network. In addition to Attack on Titan, Kodansha Comics has also published three spin-off series as well as a guidebook in English.
Rikao Yanagita dropped out of his science studies at Tokyo University to become a full-time cram school teacher. In 1991, he started a private cram school, only to find he had no managerial talent whatsoever. On the edge of bankruptcy, in 1995 Yanagita wrote The Fantasy Science Reader, which applied scientific-sounding explanations to famous science fiction and fantasy characters and situations. It became a national bestseller. In the 20 years since Yanagita has made the Reader into a popular series, full of ridiculous illustrations and even more ridiculous theories.
