Here you will find a run down of today's anime and manga news! If anything major happened the anime and manga world today, you'll find it in this post! By the way, I'm saladesu, one of the translators and global moderators of MH, and I'll be posting a post like this every day (as much as possible, anyway). Look forward to them ;)
Double Chapters of Shingeki no Kyojin Run Issue #5 of Bessatsu Shounen Magazine runs two chapters of Shingeki no Kyojin to allow readers to follow the story right after the forth volume. In the issue of Bessatsu Shounen Magazine that was released today, chapters 19 and 20 of Isayame Hajime's "Shingeki no Kyojin" were both published together as a double-chapter. Chapter 19 follows after the forth volume, while chapter 20 is the latest chapter in the series.
The forth volume of "Shingeki no Kyojin" just went on sale yesterday, and in this issue of Betsuma, readers can continue the story after the forth volume starting with chapter 19. "Shingeki no Kyojin" took the top spot on the men's edition of "This Manga is Amazing! 2011", and its sales have been increasing exponentially. Its fourth volume had an initial press of 1 million copies. Producing such a huge hit is an exceptional feat for a rookie like Isayama.
