8 Best Manga To Read if You Like Attack on Titan

2. Neon Genesis Evangelion 

Evangelion: Neon Genesis, both written and illustrated by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, shares a comparable storyline with Attack on Titan. In this series, the fate of humanity rests upon youngsters who operate colossal biological machines known as ‘Evangelions’. These machines are used to combat extraordinary entities referred to as ‘Angels’. The battles in Evangelion can be just as thrilling and intense as those depicted in Attack on Titan.

In Shinji Ikari’s narrative and that of Eren, there are striking parallels. They are both engaged in battles against enigmatic entities, entities whose true nature remains unknown to them. As the story unfolds, shocking disclosures surface, leaving them questioning the morality of their actions. Moreover, their worlds share an apocalyptic atmosphere.

3. The Promised Neverland 

The manga “The Promised Neverland” narrates the tale of children who’ve never seen the outside world, much like humans in the anime “Attack on Titan” living within Paradise Island’s protective walls. In this story, these kids are brought up as orphans and sacrificed to demons upon reaching maturity, as per an agreement between humans and demons known as The Promise. The manga by Shuhei Miyazaki explores themes of deception, survival, and impending catastrophe, sharing a similar somber atmosphere with “Attack on Titan.”

4. Black Bullet 

In a different manga, humanity faces a menace from a virus that transforms them into monstrous beings, forcing them to reside within massive fortifications. Those born with the virus develop extraordinary powers and are known as “cursed children.” The narrative revolves around Rentaro and Enju, who work tirelessly to combat Gastrea, focusing on preserving their species instead of initiating mass destruction. If you’re a fan of dystopian stories or haven’t read this one yet, we strongly suggest giving it a try!

5. Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress 

In this manga, humans grapple with hordes of zombie-like creatures known as Kabane, following a virus outbreak that transformed humans into these monstrosities. Much like the world depicted in Attack on Titan, the inhabitants of the island nation Hinomoto have constructed a fortified station for protection from the Kabane. The story unfolds around Ikoma, who undergoes a transformation to become half-human, half-Kabane (Kabaneri). Similar to Attack on Titan, both series revolve around mankind’s struggle for survival against formidable adversaries.

6. Claymore 

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to share my thoughts on another captivating manga titled “Claymore,” set in a medieval island where humans grapple with the threat of Yoma – shape-shifters who wreak havoc among them. This masterpiece is the brainchild of Norihiro Yagi, offering both written and illustrated brilliance.

7. Tokyo Ghoul 

In Sui Ishida’s manga series, the life of protagonist Ken Kaneki undergoes a significant transformation following a disastrous date. This event leads to him becoming a Half-Ghoul, a unique being capable of sustaining on both human blood and regular food. Kaneki’s actions echo those of Eren in his Rumbling, as Kaneki’s kagune, the Dragon, wreaks havoc over vast areas of Tokyo. However, unlike Eren, Kaneki eventually recognizes his errors, and the manga concludes with a harmonious coexistence between humans and ghouls.

8. Parasyte 

In the manga “Parasyte” by Hitoshi Iwaaki, the main character, Shinichi Izumi, gets contaminated by a parasitic extraterrestrial entity. With other parasites controlling humans, Shinichi finds himself collaborating with his parasite, Migi, to endure and prevent this alien invasion. The danger from these outside forces echoes the Titans in Hajime Isayama’s manga. Like Eren in dealing with the Titans, Shinji grapples with the idea of who truly possesses moral superiority between humans and parasites.

Each of these manga series presents a distinctive storyline centered on survival, no matter what adversity is encountered – be it demons, zombies, or even deities. The characters in these comics find themselves in relentless struggles against such obstacles, making for captivating tales that keep readers engrossed until the very end.
