Kodansha Comics will also release The Best of Attack on Titan: In Color physically as a large trim size hardcover book in two 2-in-1 editions in winter 2021-2022.


Does anyone have an idea what that means? I made the decision a long time ago to buy the Colossal editions but I'm curious by the wording here. How would the company decide what qualifies as "best of" moments and how will they be compiled with each other? Would each volume collect just a few pages from every (or other) chapter and so of the colored volume released that were announced earlier this year or does this pertain more to more generalized Titan collecting like colored promotional work too?

My gut reaction that skipping around and only collecting some chapters or pages per chapter would be really confusing, even for established fans, which the book would be marketed towards.

I was curious about this myself, so I went on Kodansha's site and found this page, which describes this release as "Fan-favorite and fan-voted select chapters colorized, and in English for the first time."

I have to wonder what was picked, as it's not like Attack on Titan chapters are self-contained. This does seem to be primarily for established fans.

So 7th Prince isn't a Japanese Isekai but an in-universe reincanration angle.

Yamaguchi-kun sounds like My Love Story with Takemichi from Toyko Revengers.

Decagon just got an article and now it's officially licensed! Neat.

Chihiro-kun sounds like the kind of spicy romance I could sink my teeth into...and Mr. Bride for an adult romance.

Thanks for the link and confirming what I personally think is a terrible concept.
