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 installment was all about Mikasa. She's a brilliant character with quite a bit of depth. I enjoyed this volume significantly more than the first (and not just because it followed Mikasa).

The first volume left us at a huge cliffhanger. This volume does get to the fate of Eren...but not until the very end.
The majority of the book is dedicated to Mikasa’s backstory which tells us how she and Eren meet. We also follow what is left of Eren’s group as they try to regroup and give the
This was a pretty intense book. There is a ton of action and a lot of violence. The illustration was really well done. The action scenes in this manga series have been exceptional; easy to follow yet still complex.
I love how all these little mysteries surrounding the Titans are unfolding. I also really enjoyed the more in depth look at this world in the detailed diagrams between chapters.
Overall this has been a fantastic manga series and I am really looking forward to seeing what happens next. I wasn’t a huge fan of the anime (it just moved too slow) but this manga has been fantastic. I would recommend to fans of action-packed shounen.
