Eren is a boy who dreams of the world outside the city walls. This fantasy is fueled by the fabulous descriptions of his bookish friend Armin. Even Eren's level-headed foster sister, Mikasa, can't talk him out of it. So what if there are human-eating giants outside the city? As long as people know how to kill them, and the city walls keep the giants out, human civilization can slowly rebuild, and eventually reclaim the world. However, shortly after the story begins, a colossal Titan<ref>later named "the Colossal"</ref> appears, and destroys an outer wall gate, letting its smaller kin into the city.
 
It is known for [[Anyone Can Die]], so don't get too attached to anyone. There is a reason why their city is the last human settlement on the planet. Between deaths and the initial mystery soundingsurrounding the Titans, this show has lots of spoilers to avoid (possibly even on this page). The show goes far beyond simply showing fighting between humans and Titans. Plenty of attention is paid to the virtues and faults found in humans.
 
From its relatively modest beginning, the manga managed to become the 17th highest seller in 2010, and a live-action film adaptation was released in 2015.
