By @snknews Special Correspondents Daniel & Caryn Lix

Edited by @fuku-shuu​

As a resource for overseas fans of the series, we at @snknews are happy to be able to provide our fellow fans a look into the FINAL Manga Exhibition, which opens tomorrow (July 5th, 2019) in Japan and will run through September 8th, 2019. For those of us unable to make it to Japan to visit the event for ourselves, we hope this provides sufficient detail on the overall experience!

PART 1: Entrance & Opening Event/Press Preview

Entrance

As the second photo above shows, there are two special messages displayed prior to visitors entering the exhibition:

Since its serialization in the “Bessatsu Shonen Magazine” began in September 2009,

the “Attack on Titan” manga’s run has reached exactly ten years.

Its serialization over 10 long years is thanks to all the readers who continued to support the work.

This “Attack on Titan FINAL Exhibition” is an initiative to allow you

to experience the “Attack on Titan” world in a manner different to the act of reading the manga.

Every attendee will become a resident of the “Attack on Titan” world themselves,

and we believe you will experience a sense of momentum as you approach the conclusion of the story.

The present story is arriving at its final stages, with the magnificent world converging towards a single point.

We hope that those who have yet to read the story so far cna also experience the exhibition

and enjoy the inevitable conclusion together. - The Organizers





I can’t believe that it’s been 10 years since the series of Attack on Titan began.

Not only all the readers of the series but also everyone involved have been following this for quite some time.

I want to make you feel satisfied you’ve read it this far by wielding my pen with all my might

as we now approach the end.

I hope you enjoy this “Attack on Titan FINAL Exhibition” today

and experience “Attack on Titan” in your own way as it comes to a climax. - Isayama Hajime



At the beginning of the exhibit, visitors are asked to choose whether they were raised inside the walls or outside. Depending on your choice, the first part of your journey will either lead you down the blue (Outside the walls) exhibit, where you receive information about the devils on Paradise Island, or the red (Inside the walls) exhibit. You are not allowed to turn back and view the other choice, but it only contains a small amount of pictures.

Above is also a video featuring today’s opening event, which had three special hosts and the Mini Titan as special guest.
