In November 2024, The last attack was released in theaters across the country in Japan and gathered the story of Attack on titanium. While the franchise itself is still ongoing with collaborations, goods and games, Isayama himself has said he was burned out at the moment. But in February 2025 he collaborated with Yuki Kaji on a manga with the title, Theory of a malicious man and AI-I am an AI who got self-awareness, is exploited by a black company, becomes a V-tubes as a joke, becomes viral that risks humanity's extermination! But yes, I'm just an AI, so what do I care! – or Soyalogy in short.
Kaji came with the concept, illustrated by Kai Noshigami, while Isayama illustrated the draft and wrote the story. Together with this small project, in an interview with New York TimesHe stated that he had ideas for a new manga and weighed the opportunity for a dark comedy. So the question arises: what kind of story should he tell?

The original idea
Dark comedy or heart damage?
In another interview with Isayama before Attack on titanium He ended, asked if he had any other ideas for future projects. According to him, he had an idea for one since high school and hoped to see it come true. Although he was not necessarily the same idea, as mentioned earlier, he had a dark comedy in mind as his potential “next project”, so these two ideas could very well be one. Also look at his previous works before Attack on titaniumIt was OrzWho tells the story of Yasuhiko, a high school students who lives a double life like a superhero and fights monsters that came in from an alternative universe.
His watch handles his stress/tension levels and triggers a transformation if it becomes too high, so when his childhood friend, Aki, transfers to his school, Yasu stands before a dilemma where he must at the same time protect her while still maintaining his secret from his friends. Since it is a one -shot, the conflict is resolved fairly quickly, as Aki discovers its secret and they both decide to meet the enemy's head and win a difficult battle. The chapter concludes with a group of students who regret the possibility that the hero fails and reminds the reader of the gloomy reality in which the story takes place.
Orz Has a cover of humor in itself, because Yasus tends to take off the clothes in public spaces to increase his stress levels, so he can transform, is a recurring theme. But there was another shot that was handed over to the same newspaper, but never saw any published editions, Heartbreak One. Not much is known about that, except that the title is inspired by Ace Combat 5 And the protagonist, a cyborg, is the original design of history. However, with OrzCliffhanger and Isayama's collaboration with Yuki Kaji, he is not out of ideas. Of course, he is human, so rest and self -care is crucial for one's own health and for avoiding burnout.

The potential of the great titanium war
In an interview that was included in Shingeki fliesIsayama stated that he had planned for a single shot based on the Great Titanic War, which took place 100 years before the events in the main history in Attack on titanium. But the idea was scrapped when he decided to immerse himself in Levi's character more in how he “aroused” his Ackerman -ability, along with the reason he keeps his teacup strange. In the same interview he mentioned burnout again, so it is reasonable to assume that a minor story would be better, as it is not too taxing and Isayama's passion for the series would not shine through otherwise.
The possibilities for adaptations of other works such as Before the fall and Neighborhoods Is very possible, but it is up to Isayama how he chooses to move on with his career as an artist and storyteller.
