For a century, humanity has lived in a fragile peace behind its giant walls, a "birdcage" that young Eren Yeager desperately wants to escape. After waking from a strangely long and unsettling dream, Eren's ambition to join the Scouting Legion is met with disapproval from his mother, Carla. The grim reality of the outside world is soon put on display with the tragic return of the Scouts from a failed expedition. Just as life seems to be returning to its mundane routine, a shocking and terrifying event shatters the century of peace: a Colossal Titan, larger than any ever recorded, appears over Wall Maria, breaching the gate and reawakening humanity's forgotten terror.
