Attack on Titan is available on Crunchyroll Manga as of May 18, 2026, and creator Hajime Isayama has publicly stated that he feels the ending was insincere.
Attack on Titan returned to Crunchyroll Manga on May 18, 2026, as part of a 23-title catalog addition from Kodansha USA. The series had been removed from the previous Crunchyroll Manga service in 2023, and this addition marks its first availability on the relaunched app since October 2025.
Days later, on May 19, creator Hajime Isayama made a personal admission about the series' ending. In newly updated displays at the Attack on Titan in HITA Museum, Isayama said he feels a sense of insincerity about the ending. He explained that Eren Yeager's global popularity made him unable to fully commit to depicting the character as purely detestable, tying the ending's perceived flaws to his own conflict between his original vision and the character's reception.
The two stories together present Attack on Titan as a series that remains commercially active through digital rerelease while its creator continues to reflect publicly on its conclusion. Isayama's comment adds a new layer to the long-running debate over the ending, directly linking its reception to his creative process.
