Interview of Isayama: full content will be published on June 9
The final volume(school caste included), will add about 8 pages (can only add this many pages to a manga volum)
The final page of 139: Isayama's original design has five grids and is divided into very detailed sections. It was supposed to show three people* walking towards a tree on the hillside. After discussing with the editor, however, Isayama changed the draft.
The closer to the final chapter, the harder Isayama would try searching for reviews and comments online.
Although Armin in manga might seems to be approving massacre, Isayama thinks it is due to his lack of writing. Eren's actions are the worst of worst, and Armin does not approve of them. Judging from the results, Armin is the beneficiary of the massacre. Although Armin can't understand this final farewell with Eren, he still wants to use the sentence "thank you (for us) for being a murderer" to show that he is an accomplice of Eren, so as to get closer to him.
For Isayama, the last part of the manga is a difficult theme beyond his ability. Isayama feels that he has not been able to fully express these themes with the manga, so he regrets it
Isayama's favorite action scene is the scene when jaw titan grabbed AT in ch.104. he thinks this scene is the peak of his own drawing. This is also why there is no more big action scenes after ch.104
Isayama's favorite chapter: Although the chapter itself is not quite like the usual style of aot, Isayama enjoys the difference. Ch.69 "friends" is his favorite. 69 and 71, are not following the main plot, but focusing on the story of individual characters, he drew them with the feeling of drawing a short, one-chapter manga
Isayama was happiest when he was drawing the beginning of Marley arc-chapter 91 battle scene. He drew them with extreme concentration and strength.
Now that this serial is over, Isayama is free. He wanted to walk on the street with a glass in his hand
This is what Isayama thinks of as freedom.
