by A prequel manga was scheduled to be released alongside the “Attack On Titan” artbook.
Attack on Titan is now considered a timeless classic because of the lasting impact it has had on manga and animation. The manga’s writer, Hajime Isayama, is still thinking about the series’ ending even after it finished a few years ago, demonstrating the manga’s lasting influence.
Recently, a unique art book was given to fans, rekindling their enthusiasm for the cherished series. But Isayama had originally intended to release a prequel manga to go along with the art book, providing details on Attack on Titan a hundred years prior to the main plot.
Unfortunately, this proposal was not carried out. The difficulties of creating a prequel were described by Isayama in the art book, as any discrepancies with the main series would cause the narrative to become disjointed. Isayama chose a different strategy, putting the satisfaction of the spectators above his own goals.
Rather than the planned prequel, Isayama created a one-shot manga that highlighted one of the series’ most intriguing elements: Levi’s unusual tea cup handling style. Fans were thrilled by this surprising decision, which gave them a glimpse into Levi’s past and his relationship with his mother in the Underground.
Though the lack of the much-anticipated prequel may have disappointed some fans, they weren’t left empty-handed. The one-shot comic “Bad Boy: Levi,” which discussed Levi’s upbringing and offered light on his formative years, was included in the most recent art book.
While some may be disappointed by the lost chance for a prequel, Isayama’s decision to release “Bad Boy: Levi” is a considerate move that will hopefully keep fans interested in the show.
