Synopsis

The truth of the world outside the walls and the true identity of the Titans have finally been revealed. The human race has sacrificed far too much to get to this point. And yet, they must continue. For they have yet to see with their own eyes the ocean outside the walls, the ultimate symbol of freedom.

Six years have passed since the first attack by the Colossal Titan, and the Survey Corps continues to investigate outside Wall Maria. And what they find far beyond the wall is the seemingly endless sea. But does freedom really lie beyond the endless horizon, or something else? Eren’s story enters a new phase as the series heads toward its conclusion!
