It’s an electrifying time for Attack on Titan aficionados! The globally cherished manga and anime franchise is taking another intriguing twist, and this time, it may delve into the childhood of a fan-favourite character. And if the buzz is to be trusted, the spotlight could well be on the enigmatic Levi Ackerman.
Mysterious Hints from “Shingeki Fly”
The air has been thick with anticipation ever since the official Twitter handle of the Attack on Titan artbook “Shingeki Fly” dropped a bombshell. Set to release a new manga chapter intriguingly titled “Bad Boy”, it was unveiled that the narrative will weave through a certain character’s childhood chronicles. While the official channels have maintained an intriguing silence about the identity of this character, the fandom’s detective instincts are going full throttle.
The epicentre of these speculations? None other than Levi Ackerman. This conjecture finds its roots in a previous tête-à-tête where Hajime Isayama, the mastermind behind the Attack on Titan series, hinted at a tale awaiting Levi.
“Regarding Levi, I actually have something in my mind… I have imagined what the story of Levi would be in my mind, but whether I am able to output it, that’s a whole other story because writing a manga is a really difficult task for me,”
Levi’s Past: A Story Told or Yet to Be Unfolded?
However, fans who have ardently followed every nook and cranny of the Attack on Titan universe might remember the OVA – No Regrets: Part 1. This segment had already skimmed the surface of Levi’s story. This raises a quintessential question – Is there a segment of Levi’s life still cloaked in mystery? Or are fans headed towards a more in-depth excavation of the story we thought we knew?
The clouds of mystery are expected to dissipate by the end of October 2023 when the story draft of this much-anticipated manga surfaces.

In related news, “Shingeki Fly” is not just stopping at this tantalizing teaser. Come April 30, 2024, Attack on Titan enthusiasts have an artbook launch to look forward to, which promises an 18-page manga penned by Hajime Isayama himself.

Fans should mark their calendars for November 4, 2023, as the Attack on Titan: Final Season Part 3 Part 2 is set to release.
For those unfamiliar, Crunchyroll encapsulates the essence of Attack on Titan as:
“Known in Japan as Shingeki no Kyojin, many years ago, humanity was pushed behind a fortified city’s walls to escape the massive Titans. Only the Scouting Legion dared to venture beyond the walls. Yet, a day came when their peaceful existence was brutally interrupted, leaving them with a ghastly choice: kill or be devoured.”
