The final volume of Attack on Titan will become available in print for American fans on October 19. And its publisher Kodansha is offering exclusive goodies to go with the epic conclusion.
“Kodansha has teamed up with retailers Kinokuniya USA, Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million, to give fans amazing variant covers and exclusives found nowhere else!” the publisher explained. “Starting 10/19 and until supplies last, visit one of these three participating retailers . . .”
At Kinokuniya USA, you can purchase a variant cover of the 34th volume, and this will come with a shikishi board you can’t get anywhere else. Their website explained, “That’s not all! Attack on Titan Vol. 34 Kinokuniya Exclusive Variant Cover comes with this special, collectible shikishi (approximately 4×6 inches (100x150mm) poster board)! Decorate your room with a drawing from the final volume, signed (printed) by the one and only Hajime Isayama!”
If you make your purchase through Barnes & Noble, you can get a poster variant and eco tote bag. Note that the tote bag is available in stores only and not online.
If you go through Books-A-Million, you can get a variant cover that’s also different from the one being offered by Kinokuniya USA. Books-A-Million wrote, “Featuring an exclusive cover previously released only in Japan, this BAM! Exclusive English version is a must-have for any Attack on Titan fan! Due to limited stock, multi-copy orders may be reduced to 5 copies [p]er household.”
Both cover variants will have a limited run.
Kodansha gave this description of the series:
“Attack on Titan is the award-winning and New York Times-bestselling series created by Hajime Isayama. First published in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in 2009, this series was a sleeper hit until it won the Kodansha Manga Award in 2011 for the shōnen category. Since then the manga has spawned the monster hit anime TV series of the same name making Attack on Titan a pop culture sensation. The anime is currently in its final season and can be streamed via Crunchyroll, Funimation. New episodes of the final season arrive in January 2022.”
