Attack on Titan Omnibus 1 (Vol. 1-3)

Product Information

One thing I really like about this book was that it pretty much was in line with the show. (I saw the show before reading this.) So that could be why I read this so fast. Might have skipped a bit. The way that this universe was created and organized with all the different military corps and battle strategies was super interesting to read about, so I’m excited for more of that to come. First off, the characters. Literally all of them. I had a couple of favourites, (Sasha, Connie, Marco and Jean) but overall I understood where people were coming from and why they acted the way they did even when they didn’t have a POV. People have known for more than a hundred years that the titans are out there, but they have buried their own heads in the sand, barricaded themselves behind high walls. Out of sight, out of mind. Now those walls are crumbling, and the threat can no longer be ignored! Thankfully, our young heroes finally take action - and as it turns out, countless young readers around the world can relate to the desire to restore human dignity and, yes, save the world: "Finally we can be useful," as Krista puts it just before the battle starts.

A special edition of this volume in the Japanese release comes bundled with the Ilse's Notebook: Notes from a Scout Regiment Member OVA. [25] From what I have seen, however, this manga is promising. The art is vivid, and brings to mind the scattered images in the light novel by Ryo Suzukaze. Given that the illustrator is different for the manga than the LN, this was a great job on his part to capture the spirit of the illustrations in the LN. You couldn't save your mom because you weren't strong enough to do so. As for me, I couldn't stand and face the titan because I simply didn't have the courage! Forgive me... Forgive me.” The Survey Corps confront Kenny's forces to rescue Eren and Historia, while Rod attempts to convince his daughter to transform into a Titan herself and absorb Eren's powers by eating him. Since only those with royal blood can use the Founding Titan's Coordinate, it is useless as long as Eren has it, but Rod claims Historia could use it to control the Titans. Despite Eren's willingness to sacrifice himself in atonement for her family's death at his father's hands, Historia realizes that no royal has ever put a stop to the threat of Titans before, leading her to doubt Rod's story. Rod admits the royal family is bound by a vow of peace their first king had made, which restricts them from putting an end to the Titans. Historia refuses to become a Titan and Rod decides to do it in her place. However, Rod's new Titan form grows to a massive size, larger than the Colossus Titan itself, and in a desperate move to save his friends from being crushed by the collapsing cave, Eren consumes a vial of Titan fluid that allows him to harden his Titan form.

Success!

Before the Fall answers a lot of unanswered questions - what has the political spectrum behind the walls looked like, and how did it lead to the current political decay in the story? How were anti-titan weapons created? What does life look like behind the walls for people who aren’t military? How do certain cults and factions come to be - the titan worshippers and wall worshippers? Etc. I get the end of the Dark Tower vibes with this opening of Eren waking up crying from a dream at the start of the series, hoping very much I am a bit paranoid with 33 parts still to go. In full honesty, I already know a lot of the story because I just did a marathon of the Anime, but because of how it left off, I'm now in a tear to know what happens. :) So, just to be clear, the Anime is a top-notch production and deserves tons of accolades. I'm pretty sure this manga will step-up, too, so I'm remaining patient.

After Eren wakes up from his nightmare, we are introduced to Armin and Mikasa. Armin is Eren’s best friend and he fills Eren’s head with dreams of seeing the outside world beyond the walls, telling him stories of oceans, deserts, mountains, volcanoes and all sorts of things they could never imagine witnessing with their own eyes if they continue to spend the rest of their lives hiding in mundane safety behind the walls. Armin is frail and timid, but he’s incredibly smart and proves his worth as a brilliant tactician. He’s also very loyal and protects his friends when the going gets tough.

Sungeki no Kyojin ( 寸劇の巨人, "Titan Short Skits") is a comedic yonkoma manga written and illustrated by Hounori, released on Kodansha's Manga Box smartphone and tablet application from December 2013 to December 30, 2014, in both Japanese and English. [164] The first tankōbon volume was published on August 8, 2014, and the second on April 9, 2015. Circumstances like this one are going to create intense emotions, there's no way around it, and the start of these characters' emotional journeys breaks my heart and makes me really, really curious over it all. Formulaic? Crude? Amateurish? Appalling? Yes, definitely, all of the above. Make no mistake, this series falls squarely into the trash category. Not tongue-in-cheek-I-am-actually-so-above-this pseudo trash, but just plain trash. I mean, this guy tries hard but simply isn't the most gifted of artists. And yet - somehow - he has been able to capture the imagination of millions around the world with this story centered around an eerie mystery: Who are those "titans" that have nearly wiped out humanity? Where do they come from? What do they want? Apart from eating human beings, that is. For the past century, what's left of mankind has hidden in a giant three-walled city, trapped in fear of the bizarre, giant humanoids known as the Titans. Little is known about where they came from or why they are bent on consuming humankind, but the sudden appearance of an enormous Titan is about to change everything...
