The story
What's it about?
Humanity's last survivors live behind giant walls, hiding from man-eating Titans. When the outer wall falls, Eren Yeager watches his mother get eaten and swears to exterminate every Titan. But the deeper the Survey Corps digs, the more the truth about Titans — and the world — turns everything upside down.
