Comment from the author, Hajime Isayama
I have been saying for eight years that I would finish the book in three years, and it looks like I will finally be able to finish it.
It has been a very long story, but I hope you will bear with me until the end.
It was not that I was stretched by the editorial department, but rather, I was continuously rushed to finish it in the last years. I am sorry, it is finally over.
I will do my best for the final installment so that you will be glad you have read it until now.
