How many volumes of Attack on Titan are there?

Thirty-four volumes, 139 chapters, one complete story.

The main series is 34 tankōbon volumes, collecting 139 chapters serialized in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine between September 2009 and April 2021. Volume 1 appeared on 17 March 2010 and volume 34 on 9 June 2021. In English, Kodansha USA published the same 34 volumes between June 2012 and October 2021.

Around that spine sit the extras a collector has to keep straight: a 2006 one-shot prototype, two special editions of volume 34 sold alongside the standard one, limited editions of many middle volumes bundled with anime DVDs and goods, and the spinoff shelf: Before the Fall (17 manga volumes), Junior High (11), No Regrets (2), Lost Girls (2) and Spoof on Titan (2).
