The first season of _Attack on Titan_ **aired from April 6, 2013 to September
28, 2013** , as stated on
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attack_on_Titan). Although the anime
is popular and there are demands for the second season, the second season is
not yet released. I came across [this
article](http://www.latintimes.com/attack-titan-season-2-release-date-news-
director-talks-delays-plot-plus-5-other-323275), which explains the reason for
the delay as:

> According to the director, there are a lot of things happening in the
> "Attack on Titan" franchise this year, which hinders the second season
> production and has delayed the hit-anime to 2016. It was also revealed the
> delay is due to Hajime Isayama's best-selling manga lacking two-story arc,
> which make it impossible for Araki to come up with a new season.

This makes fans (like me of course) impatient... What is this **lacking two-
story arc** referring to?

Why is the release of season 2 of Attack on Titan delayed?


> What is this lacking two-story arc referring to?

I recall reading that and I believe it should have read "lacking **a** two-
story arc", meaning there either wasn't enough material in the manga for the
anime creators to do a second season, or the material present hadn't yet
concluded any identifiable second "arc".
