I've noticed that it gets a lot of praise. I have also heard that it is currently the second most popular manga in Japan.When naruto and bleach end, one piece will be my only manga. Can it really be recommended as a good manga?

Attack on Titan is an awesome anime/manga but it's a completely different style than Naruto. Personally, I like Naruto better because it has more comic relief. Attack on Titan is badass and darker. You should definitely try it out :)

Its hard to compare the two since they're so different. What I will say though, is that probably the biggest thing I LOVE about Attack on Titan SO MUCH MORE than Naruto, is that in Attack on Titan truly has a sense of danger and risk to it, while Naruto has never had any real risk.

In Attack on Titan, characters die. Like flies. If someone goes in for an attack, unlike Naruto, you actually fear for their safety.

In Naruto unfortunately, even back in the beginning there was never a sense of danger (substitutions), and especially in part 2 theres no sense of danger because no one dies. Im not saying that I crave death in every story I read, but I am a firm believer that if theres no sense of urgency or risk in a story, especially one revolving around constant war/fighting, then the level of suspense is little to none. I mean, lately in Naruto we're given fights that go as far as putting handicaps like "you can't kill him" (Pain vs Naruto, Uchiha vs Kabuto, etc). It really kills the mode when things get going, because you never fear for the person you're rooting for.

no,it's overhyped. animation quality is the only thing that made it so popular. Read the manga if u don't believe me.
What a retarded statement !
I'm going to school right now so i will make it short.
LOL at "animation quality is the only thing that made it so popular", you ignore the plot? ignore the sense of danger?, ...
I admit the manga drawing was bad but from female titan arc, it's getting better and better.
maybe you don't like the manga art style but i'm telling you the art style is the thing that makes the titans and story look creepy and scary; if you read AOT: before the fall which is written/drawn by different author, it ruins those feel, the titan is not creepy at all,.....

its really good hope you can stomache bone gnashing gore though
It's not that gory.

OT: It's not better than Naruto and imo it's not that great of a story, people just seem to like it so much because it is unremitting in it's depiction of violence. For me it feels like the animators/writers rely too heavy on the shock value of the violence. I liked Elfen Lied more than AoT as far as "shockingly" violent anime/manga go.
