Indian creator Ananth Maruthi has officially released his graphic novel Mumbai Titans. The book is a doujin manga, an independent tribute work, created with deep respect for Attack on Titan and its director Tetsurō Araki, whose visual style and storytelling have had a lasting global impact on manga and anime.
Mumbai Titans reimagines the concept of “Titans” through an Indian lens, rooting the narrative in Mumbai’s people, history, and cultural spirit. The work is positioned as a creative homage rather than an imitation or replacement, reflecting a conscious and respectful engagement with its inspiration.
The release marks a significant milestone for Indian independent creators, highlighting India’s growing participation in global manga culture and the emergence of doujin practices within the country. For Maruthi, the project also stands as a sincere artistic salute to one of anime’s most influential directors. The graphic novel has been released under the banner of StudioKapi0369.
