Several mangakas congratulated Hajime Isayama on the end of Attack on Titan, celebrating the more than 11 years during which his work was published, and during which he did not stop working for a moment.
Reiji Miyajima, author of Rent-a-Girlfriend and Sui Ushida, creator of Tokyo Ghoul, have congratulated him since the latest episode of Attack on Titan was released last week, but other artists have joined in the festivities.
Shuzo Oshimi, author of Aku no Hana, thanked him with the following words on his Twitter account: “Isayama-san, thank you for your hard work.” Both authors began publishing their respective works in the already distant 2009, but Oshimi ended the story in 2014.
諫山さん、お疲れ様でした。

Chihiro Ishizuka, author of Flying Witch, and who has published in the same magazine as Isayama since 2012, also dedicated a few words to him on Twitter. “Isayama-san, thank you for your serialization. I was happy to publish in the same magazine for so long.”

Mikoto Yamaguchi, writer of Tomodachi Game, congratulated the author of Attack on Titan and expressed his wish that he could one day approach his work and characters with the same sincerity as Isayama.
諌山先生『進撃の巨人』最終回お疲れ様でした。『80点の作品より、マイナス200点の作品』と言いつつも、本当にたくさんいる読者の方達と真摯に向き合い、そしてなによりたくさんのキャラクター達に誠実に向き合い、作品を最後まで完走されたこと、本当に尊敬します。僕もそうありたいと思いました。
