When you get a popular series coming back with a new anime season it’s not a surprise to see the manga publishers looking to capitalize on that, as they should. With Attack on Titan coming back this weekend, Kodansha Comics has put together a new sale digitally for the manga that’s definitely worth checking out. They’ve put the individual volumes on sale for $5.99 per volume, which is about 45% off the print price, while the simulpub chapters are at 50% off in going down to a buck a chapter for the month serialized run.
They’ve also included some of the spinoff books such as Before the Fall with thirteen volumes and the two volumes of Lost Girls. Add in the No Regrets and Junior High book as well as the Western-produced anthology book and there’s 151 items to dig into.
The sale runs through July 23rd, 2018.
Series premise: Centuries ago, mankind was slaughtered to near extinction by monstrous humanoid creatures called titans, forcing humans to hide in fear behind enormous concentric walls. What makes these giants truly terrifying is that their taste for human flesh is not born out of hunger but what appears to be out of pleasure. To ensure their survival, the remnants of humanity began living within defensive barriers, resulting in one hundred years without a single titan encounter. However, that fragile calm is soon shattered when a colossal titan manages to breach the supposedly impregnable outer wall, reigniting the fight for survival against the man-eating abominations.
After witnessing a horrific personal loss at the hands of the invading creatures, Eren Yeager dedicates his life to their eradication by enlisting into the Survey Corps, an elite military unit that combats the merciless humanoids outside the protection of the walls. Based on Hajime Isayama’s award-winning manga, Shingeki no Kyojin follows Eren, along with his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman and his childhood friend Armin Arlert, as they join the brutal war against the titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before the last walls are breached.
