We begin the Attack on Titan series learning of what happened that surged Eren forward in his desire to eliminate the titans from the earth. Trauma & hatred are one hell of a combination when it comes to motivating someone, I reckon. 

Fast forward 5 years, Eren is ready to join the Survey Corps & take on all of the titans. Joined by Mikasa & Armin, his two closest friends, Eren does just that! And as if it hasn’t been 5 years since that fateful day, along comes the Colossus Titan to ruin the day again. I wonder where we will go from here! 

I don’t have to actually wonder. I watched the anime, but am excited to see what differences exist between the manga & anime versions of this series!

This volume left me super excited to read the rest of the series. The way information is introduced gives you enough exposition without feeling like you're reading a textbook on the AoT world, and I'm already invested in the universe this manga takes place in. Beautiful manga, would only not recommend if you're extremely sensitive to unrealistic gore (i.e. giants eating people). The only reason it's not 5 stars is because I'm not the biggest fan of action scenes, but the story and character elements of the manga are still enjoyable if you don't like action.

this is my first manga/graphic novel i’ve ever read and since i’ve seen the first several episodes of the anime, i thoroughly enjoyed this!!!!! i loved how quickly things were moving & i love isayama’s art style a ton. i thought this was a really great start to the series with just enough information to hook you. i flew through this volume (i’m sure it’s because i’ve seen this part of the anime) but i am very very excited to read the next volume too. i’m giving this installment 4.5/5 stars
