Hajim Isayama Creator Of Attack On Titan

Isayama was born in Oyama, Oita Prefecture, Japan, which is now part of Hita. It was in high school, Hita Rinko Senior High School, that he began submitting manga works to contests. After graduating, he matriculated in the manga design program of the arts department at Kyushu Designer Gakuin. In 2006, he applied for the Magazine Grand Prix known as MGP promoted by Kodansha Ltd. and his work "Attack on Titan" (Shingeki no Kyojin) was given the Fine Work award. At age twenty, he moved to Tokyo and worked at an internet cafe in order to pursue a career in manga. This one-shot would later be included in the series' guidebook and included with the first Blu-ray of the anime adaptation.
Originally, he also offered his work to the Weekly Shonen Jump department at Shueisha, where he was advised to modify his style and story to be more suitable for Weekly Shonen Jump. He declined and instead, decided to take it to the Weekly Shonen Magazine department at Kodansha Ltd.
In 2008, he applied for the 80th Weekly Shonen Magazine Freshman Manga Award, where his work "Heart Break One" was given the Special Encouragement Award. His other work, orz, was chosen as a selected work in the same contest the following year.
In 2009, his first serial work Attack On Titan began in the monthly Bessatsu Shonen Magazine. It won the Shonen category of the 35th Kodansha Manga Award in 2011, and was nominated for both the 4th annual Manga Taisho award and the 16th annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize. Attack on Titan has inspired four spin-off manga series, two light novel series, a television anime adaptation, several visual novels, a video game, and a two-part live-action film that is in production. The resort Bungo Oyama Hibiki no Sato in his hometown of Oyama, ran a free exhibit displaying copies of Isayama's manuscripts for the manga in 2013. A special Attack on Titan event was held in Hita on November 1, 2014, with Isayama and approximately 2,500 spectators attending. The following day, Isayama gave a speech at the Patria Hita cultural hall and was officially named the Tourism Ambassador of Hita by the city's mayor Keisuke Harada.I like this anime because of the nice quality.This anime is always full of action and mystery that's what i like about this anime.
