I think this is a really interesting concept, but the artwork is not very good and the plot moves at an insanely slow pace. I'm currently reading #4 and am not sure I am going to read any further. Maybe I should watch the anime instead.

Attack on Titan, Vol.1 by Hajime Isayama and Sheldon Drzka - Rating: 4.5/5⭐️
.
.
For 100 years humans have barracaided themselves behind a set of walls to protect themselves against the Titans. Giant humanoids that are set out in consuming them once again becoming a threat.
.
.
LIKES:
• A different take on giants. I always feel like they're viewed as these bumbling and rather dumb fools. But thus one has a different take.
• The gore and nudity isn't bad. The gore only comes to play I guess with dead bodies and when the Titans eat humans. And there's no real nudity. They show the Titans bodies (which are naked) but they have no reproductive organs so there's nothing to really expose.
• The action and drama held through beginning to end.
• The characters were amazing. I loved to see Eren having this drive for revenge, Armin acknowledging his weakness, and Mikasa is bad-ass. I can't wait to see them develop more.
• Holy, cliffhanger.
.
.
DISLIKES:
• I almost wish all of the side characters weren't introduced because it felt like they were only there to get eaten.
.
.
Overall, this is my first manga that I randomly decided to try out. And I can guarantee you it will not be my last now.

My first book of Manga. It’s ok, but nothing that was too exciting. I enjoyed the pace of the book the most and it’s a good change when you feel like reading something illustrated.
