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.

This is the 12th book in the Attack on Titan series. I have to admit this series is starting to loose me a bit. The story is just moving so slowly. At the end of volume 11 I was hoping that we were going to see some interesting things in volume 12 and some mysteries would be revealed….nope not

gonna happen.

This volume is again kind of a giant fight scene. The illustration is well done and the fight scenes are easy to follow.

The Survey Corps are fighting to get Eren and others back from the traitorous soldiers turned Titans. A large battle ensues. Not a whole lot moves forward or is revealed.

The biggest reveal is probably what’s going on with Krista and Ymir; Ymir finally reveals the purpose of her rabid protection of Krista.

Overall this a decent continuation of the series. However, it’s getting a bit stagnant for me; lots of similar huge battles over and over. I want more progress in the storyline and if I don’t get that in the next few volumes I’ll probably stop reading the series.
