To celebrate, creator Hajime Isayama has authorized the colorization of twelve manga chapters, specially selected by himself, loyal fans, and other staff. This premium hardcover includes the first half of his unique project, as well as the original version of Attack on Titan Episode 1, which was vastly different from what was eventually published twelve years ago.
