It's been over a year since the manga series Attack on Titan officially ended. Despite Hajime Isayama's best efforts, many fans still criticize the tragic conclusion this author created.
In a recent interview with Shintaro Kawakubo, the manga editor in charge of Attack on Titan, it was revealed that Hajime Isayama feels uneasy about the criticism of the manga's final chapter. Kawakubo also disclosed that 11 years ago, when Isayama sensei began the manga, there were stories the author wanted to express in the ending, but he changed his mind at the last minute.
Kawakubo told reporters: 'When Hajime Isayama started the manga 11 years and 7 months ago, I always thought there were emotional stories he wanted to tell. He began drawing manga because he wanted that, and he drew what he truly wanted to draw, so I don't think anyone has the right to complain. At that time (when Attack on Titan chapter 139 was released), Isayama felt very uncomfortable when the manga was criticized. I told him, 'You've drawn what you wanted in the way you wanted, so I would be very sad if you feel regret now, because everything ended the way you wanted it to. Everything is fine, you've tried your best.''
During the interview, a question that everyone was interested in was whether the author Hajime Isayama has plans for the next manga or not. To answer, Shintaro said:
'Not necessarily. At least we will have a meeting within the year. Of course, we have many opportunities to meet, but it's not the time yet. I just told him, 'Let me know if you want to draw something else.''
Based on the information provided, it seems it will be quite some time before author Hajime Isayama unveils his next work.
