Danger lurks on almost every page, if these characters are not fighting for their lives, they are exploring the purpose of all this cruelty. It is almost as if we are treated to a glimpse of humanity's response to such a threat, the confrontation of the potential of mortality, but to also rapidly find coping strategies to survive. This second edition brings an abundance of revelations that are not at all shocking to me since I have already watched these moments unfold in its Anime adaptation, but enduring through and reviewing the character motivations brought forth a greater appreciation of its ideas and storytelling. The artwork comes alive in this larger format, but its ergonomics are cumbersome, with the paperback's temperament fed by its broad weight. However, despite all of this, I was still enamoured.

There it is. As much as I dug the previous "volume", it's clear that this is where Isayama really started to find his footing in this universe and put his foot on the gas pedal. The art is vastly improved, the writing is sharp, and the massive set pieces slap. The "57th Scouting Expedition" arc is an absolute knockout and the "Clash of the Titans" run that follows is a great showcase for side characters who haven't received as much attention in the foregoing pages. All of this combined really assists in fleshing out this world and spinning its story in exciting, unconventional directions.
All of this is driven by a propulsive plot and compelling mysteries. Reading the series with all of the latter's resolutions firmly in mind, it's a lot easier to focus on the minor character moments and admirable attention to detail. This series really is the sum of its parts and I'm consistently impressed at the delicate balance they manage to pull off in juggling an exciting narrative, compelling mysteries, and a sizable cast of characters (even if most of them are absolutely doomed). I'm digging the absolute hell out of this.

Manga Mikasa is even better than anime Mikasa I think it’s because the manga shows how much she cares about everyone else not just Eren a bit better than the anime does. Also, Levi is so funny, I love him
