Shingeki no Kyojin or Attack on Titans

Shingeki no Kyojin or Attack on Titans .......is a series about survival in a fantasy world infested with wicked and man-eating giants.

Quote:
Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants. Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants.

Flash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years. Teenage boy Eren and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Elen vows that he will murder every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.

Nominated for the 4th Manga Taisho Awards (2011) and winner of the 35th annual Kodansha Manga award for Best Shounen.
To put it in summary,
-Interesting leads and characters (be it kids and adults, equally likeable), and the lead girl is just incredibly badass with leet fighting skills;
-Man-eating giants who took the pleasure of devouring people;
-Non-stop action packed;
-Fascinating fantasy world and environment;
-Story about absolute survival of humanity in a brinck their extinction;
- Story about what it means to be REAL soldiers defending humanity, yep the main characters are essentialy armymen.

The scanlations are out until chapter 24. I would’nt recommend mf since they’ve yet to provide the entire volumes.. you can simply scout the net for them.

Please give it a shot, it would blow your mind away.
