The manga really is not a masterpiece, no way. The story IS very original, and it spawned one hell of a good-looking anime with some great music and characters, but Hajime Isayama is hardly a genius. This manga has a lot of negatives that undermine its selling points. Hell the Titan-slaying actually got watered down bigtime by all the focus on shifters and the slow revelation of the Marley being the real enemy, this is most definitely overhyped. It's already wasted or underused too many great characters trying to figure out what the hell the focus of its narrative is.
