look at that picture. It is japanese 1st volume of the manga. Did you notice the "Attack on Titan" there? The name was not created during localisation. It was done either by the ones responsible of printing the volumes, or even by Isayama himself. So this is probably not a "disservice" to the author, if the author himself made that mistake.
