Description
Thanks to Eren, humanity has taken the town of Trost back from the Titans. Exhausted, Eren falls into a coma for three days and wakes in shackles, staring at Erwin Smith, leader of the Survey Corps. Certain that Eren's father's research holds the key to the mystery of the Titans' rise, Smith wants an expedition to retrieve it from the house where Eren grew up. But that's deep in Titan territory, and to get there Eren will need to master a power he still doesn't fully understand...

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
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.

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).

This volume significantly made up for number 4. It didn't really favor any one character too much (even Eren got no more than his due diligence) and it took a rather unique and unexpected twist (not twist, as in "SURPRISE!" but a direction that I could not have foreseen). There was a strange and

intriguing development in this volume that promises to be elaborated on in volume 6, so I'm very much looking forward to that! Show Less

This volume deals with the fallout from Eren’s transformation into a Titan to save the city. He ends up getting moved into the Survey Corps and Levi (the best fighter ever) is assigned the task of making sure Eren doesn’t go rouge. The goal is to visit Eren’s old house and find out the
Everything is thrown into chaos though when another Titan shows up that seems to be sentient; it’s super smart and super fast and makes the Corps realize that Eren might not be the only one who can take over Titan bodies.
I love all the new mysteries introduced here and am enjoying some of the new characters we meet in the Survey Corps.
The illustration continues to be very well done and is easy to follow. Even though many new characters are introduced it’s not hard to keep track of them all. This volume is action packed, but it still balanced with both interesting story and character development.
Overall this is an outstanding addition to the Attack on Titan series. This has been a very well done manga series that has well-balanced story, character, world-building, and action elements to it. I am really enjoying this manga series.
