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. Eren, his adopted sister Mikasa Ackerman, and his childhood
friend Armin Arlert join the brutal war against the Titans and race to discover a way of defeating them before
the last walls are breached.
