Apparently, Attack on Titan mangaka, Hajime Isayama, is a huge fan of that meme.
The cover is supposed to celebrate the long-awaited return of Attack on Titan as a TV anime. Well, we’re pretty sure that’s the reaction of many fans when the anime first aired back on April 1.
The cover features Levi, Armin, Mikasa, and Eren channeling those four memetic guys, who are actually IGN reporters, Matt Casamassina, Craig Harris, Chadd Chamers, and Peer Schneider.
So much so that when he got the chance to make the cover for the May 2017 edition of Bessatsu Shounen Magazine, he got four Survey Corps members to channel the meme!
