Which Book Should Read After Finishing Attack On Titan?

After the rollercoaster of emotions that 'Attack on Titan' puts you through, I'd recommend diving into 'Berserk' by Kentaro Miura. It's dark, gritty, and full of intense battles, much like 'Attack on Titan', but with a medieval fantasy twist. The protagonist, Guts, is a lone warrior fighting against monstrous forces, and his journey is as heartbreaking as it is thrilling. The art is stunning, and the story delves deep into themes of survival, revenge, and humanity. It's a perfect follow-up for anyone who loved the brutal honesty and complex characters of 'Attack on Titan'.

If you're looking for something slightly different but still packed with action and deep storytelling, 'Vinland Saga' by Makoto Yukimura is another great choice. It follows Thorfinn, a young Viking warrior, on his quest for vengeance and eventual search for peace. The historical setting and moral dilemmas make it a compelling read, and the character development is top-notch.

I’ve been obsessed with 'Attack on Titan' for years, and finding something to fill that void isn’t easy. One series that gave me similar chills is 'Tokyo Ghoul' by Sui Ishida. It’s a psychological horror with a protagonist, Kaneki, who undergoes a transformation that forces him to question his humanity. The themes of identity and morality are just as gripping as in 'Attack on Titan', and the fights are brutal and visceral. The art style is unique, and the story’s pacing keeps you hooked.

Another recommendation is 'Chainsaw Man' by Tatsuki Fujimoto. It’s wild, unpredictable, and full of the same chaotic energy that made 'Attack on Titan' so addictive. The protagonist, Denji, is a mix of Eren’s determination and Levi’s recklessness, but with a bizarre twist. The manga blends horror, comedy, and action in a way that feels fresh and exciting. The character dynamics are messy in the best way, and the plot twists hit like a truck.

For something more strategic but equally intense, 'Kingdom' by Yasuhisa Hara is a historical epic about war and ambition. It follows Xin, a young warrior rising through the ranks in ancient China. The battles are massive, the politics are intricate, and the growth of the characters is phenomenal. It’s a slower burn than 'Attack on Titan', but the payoff is just as satisfying.

If you’re craving more of the existential dread and moral complexity that 'Attack on Titan' delivers, 'Parasyte' by Hitoshi Iwaaki is a fantastic next read. It’s about a high school boy, Shinichi, who becomes host to an alien parasite. The story explores what it means to be human, much like 'Attack on Titan', but with a sci-fi twist. The action is intense, and the philosophical questions it raises stick with you long after you finish.

For a lighter but still action-packed option, 'Demon Slayer' by Koyoharu Gotouge is a great pick. It’s got heart-wrenching moments, stunning fight scenes, and a protagonist who’s as driven as Eren. The art is beautiful, and the emotional beats hit hard. The world-building isn’t as dense as 'Attack on Titan', but the character arcs are just as compelling.

If you’re in the mood for something more cerebral, 'Monster' by Naoki Urasawa is a psychological thriller about a doctor chasing a serial killer. It’s slower paced, but the tension and moral dilemmas are masterfully crafted. The story’s depth and unpredictability make it a must-read for fans of complex narratives like 'Attack on Titan'.
