Attack On Titan colossal manga
Since its serialisation in 2009, the popular manga series Attack On Titan – also known as Shingeki no Kyojin – has been steadily gaining readership and popularity. With the final anime season well underway and the manga approaching its end, publisher Kodansha has announced that they will be releasing a colossal manga edition of Attack On Titan to commemorate the event.

Compared to a normal paperback manga, which is around 11.7cm in width and 16.5cm in length, the gigantic edition is about 6 times bigger. This means good news for the titans as they no longer have to squint and strain their eyes to enjoy the manga.

Weighing in at a whopping 13.7kg, the huge comic book measures 71.5cm in width and 101cm lengthwise. When laid open, the book’s combined width is only 17cm shorter than Captain Levi, much to his dismay.

Attack On Titan fans who are looking to add this exclusive manga edition to their collection can purchase it via Kodansha’s online store. Sales commence from 12PM JST on 6th March, and the manga retails for ¥165,000 (~USD1540.86).
Only 100 copies are available. They will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, so remember to mark your calendars if you’re planning to get your hands on one. The manga will be shipped out in May 2021.
Kodansha doesn’t offer international shipping at the moment, so if you’re not in Japan, you might want to engage a parcel forwarding service.
