The walls are so high and strong that they have kept the Titans at bay for over a century. However, the sudden appearance of a colossal Titan that breaches the outer wall sets off a chain of events that changes everything.
The story follows Eren Yeager, his adoptive sister Mikasa Ackerman, and their friend Armin Arlert, who join the military to fight the Titans after their hometown is destroyed and Eren’s mother is eaten.
