A pretty good set up to a long story. I would have liked to have spent some more time with each character to really be able to know where they're coming from. But overall I'm definitely interested in continuing.

Attack on Titan volume 1 by Hajime Isayama is a horror/action manga about giant titans that want to eat everyone. This is my second time reading this manga, the first time I read this was back in 2010 when it was first published. Having read this a second time, I can really appreciate the electric start to this story. 

The main characters, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin live in a town that is walled off from the titans that are dangerous. The manga starts off with the three characters as pre teens and they're having a discussion about the wall to their town being breached.
Right as they say that, a giant titan comes and busts the wall down. The three survive but the end up becoming personnel for the military five years later.
The manga ends on a cliff hanger, like most of the Attack on Titan mangas do. It doesn't bother me now, in the year 2023 because the series is finally complete. When the second volume wasn't available, I was a little pressed. 

Overall this was interesting and there are a lot of questions that I have and I'm excited for them to finally get answered. I'm giving this volume 5 stars out of 5.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Stars

I read this for free on libbyapp.com

 Went into this totally blind. Didn’t expect it to absolutely break my heart.

A fantastic start to the series! It was straight to the point and wasted no time getting to that point; as I had watched season 1 of the anime first, I found it quite fun to see what had changed from it, and it made me realise just how quick this was!

It's only the first volume so the main story hasn't really started yet, but that doesn't mean it's not interesting. It has me so hooked

 Far in the future, the remnants of humanity live in a single city, behind a series of protective walls designed to keep out the titans, nearly indestructible man-eating giants that have overrun most of the world.

When a wall is breached after nearly a century without attacks, a group of young recruits must join the suddenly desperate battle against the titans, which have now produced a colossus capable of breaking through the city's walls.

This was a good introduction to the scenario and I enjoyed the developing relationships between the characters, especially the dynamic between the fiercely protective Mikasa, and the ambitious Eren.

The action sequences are great, the titans more horrifying than you might anticipate, and there is a reasonable attempt to make sense of a scenario of people fighting against human-eating giants.
