Description

"On the way to Eren's home, deep in Titan territory, the Survey Corps ranks are broken by a charge led by a female Titan! But this Abnormal is different--she kills not to eat but to protect herself, and she seems to be looking for someone. Armin comes to a shocking conclusion: she's a human in a Titan's body, just like Eren!"--Page [4] of cover.

This is a review for the first 14 volumes, because I read them all at once, in about three days. For the most part, each volume is like one chapter of this story, so it works.

I really do like Attack on Titan - I started with watching the Anime, and finding out Season 2 won't come until 2016 - I

realized I need more story, there is just too much odd stuff with this series, and totally heartbreakingly scary. Death is not sugarcoated. And people here die in horrible ways, usually by getting eaten by a Titan. The story is tight - the graphics are top-notch. Highly recommended if you are looking for something that is different, but grabs you, emotionally.

The characters are well written, even the ones that are written as a comic relief (Sasha and her appetite for example). These are all emotionally developed characters, who grow from the begining of the series as fighting titans takes it toll (along with learning about corruptness of some humanity). These are not people who want to fight. These are people who do what it takes to survive and protect humanity.

I think I like the anime better, but it might be because the color and sound adds a lot to the horror that is a titan. The plot between the two versions are almost the same, except for vary minor changes.

In this volume the Survey Corps are trying to deal with the intelligent female Titan that they ran into in the last volume. We see more of what this Titan is capable off and also see a flashback to Eren’s time with the Survey Corps and how Eren and the rest of the Corps came to trust each

other.

This volume was very fast-paced and intense. There is a lot of action and the illustration is well done and easy to follow.

I enjoyed the backstory about how Eren and the Survey Corps started working together.

Overall this is a good installment in the Attack on Titan series. I am eager to see where things go with the female Titan. I enjoy all the action in this series and all the little mysteries surrounding our characters. I would recommend to those who enjoy action-packed survival types of story with an element of fantasy in them.
