The Diamond Gem Award-winning prequel to Attack on Titan

"The dark and oppressive atmosphere sets it apart from the original series... absolutely nightmarish and terrifying." -Comic Book Resources

A prequel series to the number one bestseller in Japan. Humanity has learned to live in complacency behind its high walls, protected from the giant Titans. But when a Titan-worshipping cult opens one of the gates, a Titan wreaks havoc, consuming the cultists. After the rampage is over, two young Survey Corps members are shocked to discover a pregnant woman's partially digested corpse...

FREE TO FACE THE TRUTH
Kuklo had spent his entire life in cages, feared and hated as "the Titan's son." Then he met Sharle Inocencio, a young girl who defied her father and brother to care for and educate the abused boy in secret -- and plot his escape from the dungeon, and her escape from her betrothal. But the night they've dreamed of brings new horrors with it, and Kuklo becomes obsessed with proving that he is not the monster everyone has always assumed him to be. That means meeting a Titan for himself, in person...

TAKE A STAND FOR HUMANITY

Kuklo left the walls behind for one reason: To see a Titan for himself, and finally banish the doubts that have dogged him about his own humanity. That mission has been accomplished, but not everything has gone according to plan. Now Kuklo is on the run with the Survey Corps from a 10-meter-class Titan. But it soon becomes clear to Kuklo and Commander Pikale that they have no chance to reach the wall in time. To live, they'll have to fight
