I think many of you watched "Attack on Titan" and admired the universe of the author Isayama Hajima. But how much do you know about the life of the author? Today I want to tell you about some interesting facts from the life of Isayama Hajima.
Interesting facts from the life of Isayama Hajime ( "Attack on Titan" )
1. Hajima's childhood
From an early age, Isayama was a creatively gifted boy. He was born in 1986 in the small town of Oyama. While still in elementary school, he became interested in anime and spent hours drawing, and in high school he began to submit his manga to various competitions.
Hajime thought that it is quite difficult to make money on creativity, so he considered that drawing was just a hobby. For a while, he even worked part-time at an Internet cafe. Attack on Titan was one of his first creations.
Fun fact: the first publisher, Weekly Shonen Jump, refused to publish his manga because it was too violent. So if Hajime didn't dare to try again, we would never see this anime.

2. The prototype of the titans
The titans themselves are very unusual in Japanese culture, so the choice of antagonists was quite odd. The idea of titans came to Hajime when he encountered drunk and aggressive people at his job. At that time he decided that an uncontrollable evil with which it was impossible to agree was what he needed.

3. Hajime's Favorite Characters
In his interviews, Isayama has repeatedly admitted that his favorite anime character is Jean Kirstein. His tendency to always say whatever is on his mind has become just the trait that the author himself would like to develop in himself. Although Hajime associates himself more with Daz, I think it's a bit self-critical. Write in the comments what you think about it!
