This volume is very memorable, both book and series version. The moment they joined the survey cops is too emotional for me lol.
And, here we have the girl titan everyone

Finally we meet the Female Titan! I've been waiting forever for her appearance because now the storyline is going to speed up thanks to that plot twist. I am loving this series as I progress in each volume but what I did not like is the court drama with Erin. I remember watching it in the anime that was a total bore and waste of dialogue and then now in this volume we had that stupid court scene again.
Everyone is pretty much shocked and confuse when it comes to Erin Yeager and him turning to an Titan but now thanks to him, humanity has a chance to win the war on Titans and now they need to reach Erin's house to discover the secret his father has left for him to learn when it comes to his transformation.
The ending was utterly perfect and I can imagine myself being mind blown of the female Titan if it weren't for the anime. I'm curious how she will play out and now that Erin is not the only one, I want to know if there are others and whether they want Erin Yeager dead! Great series and now I need to speed read the rest of the series!

I don’t have time for a new obsession, but a new obsession I have nonetheless. Seriously, this series (both the anime and manga) are incredible.

This serves as my review for the whole Attack on Titan series
This is one of my favourite animes and series of all time. It's also one of the highly acclaimed anime series ever so if you don't even know about Attack on Titan at this point... you are missing out. I'm updated with the manga since it's still ongoing but it is going to be ending very soon. I do think you should watch the series first before reading the manga :)
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! Especially if you are into fantasy with high paced action sequences, surprising twists, and mystery.
plot→ It's basically set in this world wherein the last of the human race are forced to live behind this circular walled city called Paradis because titans who devour humans suddenly started appearing on Earth. The story begins when, after 300 years I think... or is it 30??, a titan suddenly breaks into the walled city. The story revolves around Eren (and friends) who has always dreamed of being part of the Survey Corps as they were previously regarded as the heroes of the city. However, they have since been looked down on by the residents because their expeditions outside the walls in the past years have always resulted in mass slaughter.
There are 3 branches in the city's military body: the Survey Corps, the Garrison, and the Military Police Brigade. Survey Corps go outside the wall to scout areas for expansion and most of the skilled ODM (this is the gear that they use to kill the titans) users are in this branch since they fight the titans most frequently. Garrison patrol the walls of the city and are in charge of protecting the walls from titan invasions. Military Police Brigade stay in the innermost city to protect the royal family and whoever else is rich and powerful enough to live there. There is also a side branch that takes care of the new recruits and trains them before they are placed in the actual military body.
I didn't know this had a military thing going on and to be honest it's one of favourite sub themes in fantasy so that was a pleasant for me.
One of the interesting sociopolitical points in this series is that the city itself is subdivided into 3 walls: Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina. The poorest in the city are forced to live on the outermost wall since they are the ones that titans would most likely get to first in case the city is breached. The richest are in Wall Sina like the royal family. This raised a lot of points to think about especially when the wall gets breached and they need to move towards the inner parts of the city.
I'm not going to go too much else in depth because it is partly a mystery series but one of the main things that made this series standout to me is the looming idea that they don't really know who the enemy is. Honestly, this series raises a lot of political issues and discussions that I like to talk about with other people who have also read/watched it. Another aspect that I like here, is what is really considered good or bad, if there even is such a thing in a person's motives. You'll see this more on the later sides of the series because the first part is more on action scenes and build up since it's meant to pull you into the world. But the later arcs just add up to it and make it seriously one of the most phenomenal stories I have come across.
If you haven't realized: I love this series TO DEATHHH.
I consider this a must watch and must read for basically everyone who just wants a good story with characters that you won't get tired of. I also just want you guys to meet my man Levi basically hehe <3 I'm kidding but seriously... this series has one of the best plots and storytellings especially it's lore side. I was gasping at every plot twist and this is coming from a person who usually ends up guessing what happens in the plot.
This is Levi btw^^ *heart eyes*
WARNING: the manga is definitely on the gory side but the anime not much so (but still intense). it didn't really bother me though but you have been warned.

I love this series so much but I struggle to keep up with the wide cast of characters. I kept having to flip to the character guide to figure out who was who, but I still enjoyed this one despite the slight confusion I had.
This volume had some of my favorite scenes that I remember from the anime, ranging from the iconic cleaning scene and Hange's experiments to the major plot twist. This volume also had introductions to some of my favorite characters (Petra and Ilse).
I can't wait to read the next volume soon.
