Right now, Attack on Titan is living its best life with season four, and audiences are tuning in each week to see how the series is faring. After all, the hit anime will come to an end this year, and manga readers are eager to see how the show brings its final arc to life. Of course, the same can be said for creator Hajime Isayama as he’s notoriously involved with the anime. And now, fans are starting to wonder whether the Attack on Titan creator has more stories up his sleeves.
The whole question came to light when the French publication VF did an interview with Isayama about the manga and its anime’s final season. It was there fans discovered the artist is thinking about a new story.
According to Isayama, he is focusing his attention moving forward on his next work. The artist does not provide any other details about what the project might be, but Isayama has previously stated he wishes to take a break after Attack on Titan is said and done. He’s been removed from publishing for some months now as Attack on Titan debuted its final chapter way back in 2021. And now, the creator’s work is just about finished on season four as the anime has entered its endgame.
There is no telling whether Isayama’s “new work” will be a manga, but fans are certainly hopeful the artist will make a return to manga. Attack on Titan is considered a classic to many readers at this point, and its anime helped rejuvenate the global fandom following a slump of sorts. These days, manga and anime are bigger than ever, so fans want to see Isayama reap the rewards of all his hard work. And if they get a brand-new manga out of it, well – all the better!
Do you think Isayama is done with manga for good? Or will they return to publishing after taking a deserved hiatus? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below or hit me up on Twitter @MeganPetersCB.
