seems daft that amazon sales don't get counted, i mean not that my purchases count for anything being english but i buy the majority of my manga through amazon because there's not much in the way of alternatives.

Attack On Titan is really taking America by storm. It really seems like its becoming the next Naruto in terms of popularity.
It would be awesome if it could reach Dragon Ball Z level popularity in the US but I doubt it will ever considering there are only roughly 80 chapters left before the story ends. But who knows...

With it being released monthly, that's over 7.5 years left and I doubt the creator plans on making it run that long. Where did you get that there's 80 chapters left? Last edited by Kadmos1 on Fri Jun 06, 2014 10:06 am; edited 1 time in total |

My mistake, the Hajime Isayama stated he plans on ending the manga within 20 volumes, so in actuality, we only have about 24 left before the manga ends. Calculations: Every volume of attack on titan has 4 chapters. 6 (Number of volumes supposedly reaming) x 4 = 24[/url] |

Wow, this is impressive. I just hope the author will be able to end it in a way that will satisfy fans. I think this might be the first time I've seen a comic that at first glance (while I didn't expect it to be impressive) turned out to be a successful gem. It's really living up to it's hype. I'm very much looking forward to reading the last two available vols. And then I'm going to go in a corner and cry that there isn't any more to read until fall and next year. It's just not enough!

He'd better end it well. He's already on record as having admitted to changing his original ending specifically to appease the fans so it would be unfortunate if he didn't manage it. Personally I don't really like his art style much so I prefer the more polished anime representations of the characters. His grotesque style works well on the titans but it makes his human characters just look bizarre and at times i can't tell which character is which. So, all in all I enjoyed the series but i won't cry for to long (5 mins max) when it ends. |

Not sure that Amazon is not counted since the ICv2 source points out:
Now why would Amazon matter if Amazon is not counted? |

I can agree, but I've gotten used to it now. Well, at least it isn't the Elfen Lied manga. But yeah, I've heard about the changes. It would be interesting if he did a side book releasing a manga of the "what might have been".
