Ahead of the release of the final installment of the Attack on Titan anime, the series is preparing for a special release in April. Hajime Isayama, the series creator, will release a new art book titled Attack on Titan – Fly in April 2024. The book will include previously unseen artwork, as well as a brand-new manga one-shot. The creator recently gave us a sneak peek at the upcoming manga one-shot titled ‘Bad Boy.’
The upcoming Attack on Titan manga one-shot, scheduled to be published in volume 35 of the manga, appears to take a deep dive into Levi Ackerman’s early life. This would be a big thing for the fans as Levi is one of the most loved characters in the series and his backstory was not given much importance in the manga and the anime.

The one-shot will provide light on Levi’s difficult upbringing in the Underground, a period of his life that has been mostly ignored in the main series.
