در زیبایی اتک همین بس که شخصیت اصلیش یه کودنِ احمقِ زبون‌نفهمِ بی‌منطقِ به‌شدت‌روی‌اعصابِ خرفت مثل ارن هست و بازم ازش لذت می‌بری

I enjoyed this one but it didn't do much for me. The first three episodes of this volume were just fillers that didn't advance the plot. There was a lot of battles that didn't work too well in the manga format. Things changed in the final episode, but they didn't necessarily change for the better. There was a lot of plot twists that occurred at the end of volume 10, but you don't get any answers for the plot twists in this volume. I'm honestly just so confused with what exactly is going on with Eren's group right now. When mangas get as long as this series, they sometimes struggle to keep up the epic storylines throughout the whole series and I'm wondering if that's what's happening with this series... I'm going to keep reading because I'm invested in the story and the characters, but this is probably the weakest volume in the series so far.

Spoilers.

Shingeki no Kyojin no da ni un respiro. En cada tomo hay acción desenfrenada, algunas que otras muertes cubiertas de mucha sangre; brazos, piernas y cuellos arrancados; caras destrozadas. En fin, todo un deleite visual.

En este volumen se da un bosquejo al pasado de Reiner y Bertholdt, quienes al parecer fueron entrenados por otros para destruir la muralla desde pequeños y van detrás de Historia Reiss siguiendo una coordenada. Por otro lado, el titán bestia es otro enemigo que ronda por ahí planeando quién sabe qué cosas.

Cool fight and even better reveals. Pretty standard to up the tension and stakes, but in this case, it's particularly effective.

Still no humour. It's all as serious as can be. I think it's pretty damn smart to play it this way. I'm lost in the story and I'm never kicked out once. :)

Just when I think I know what is going on, something happens and I'm back to not knowing a darn thing, and being as confused as ever.

Amazing volume, just like the others, but I really think now's the time to get some answers.

[Tina Haigler · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was good but I feel like we didn't learn anything new. It had exciting fight scenes and a flashback that was interesting, but no real twist or anything. Nothing that would really make this one stand out at least. I am definitely excited for the next volume though, and hopefully it'll have some answers.

PT Depois de um incrível Volume 10, este segue pelo mesmo caminho, mantendo o ritmo.

Assistimos a uma épica batalha entre três titãs humanos.

Nesta fase, a relação entre os titãs humanos e os menos conscientes continua incerta. Estarão eles realmente do lado da humanidade, ou terão a sua própria agenda? Sabemos que alguns deles se alinham com a humanidade e, até agora, parece que foram revelados cinco titãs humanos.

O ritmo abrandou no final deste volume, deixando-nos curiosos sobre o que virá a seguir. Vamos ver como a história se desenrola!

--

EN After an incredible Volume 10, this one follows in the same footsteps, maintaining the momentum.

We’re treated to an epic battle between three human titans.

At this stage, the relationship between the human titans and the less sentient ones remains unclear. Are they truly on humanity’s side, or do they have their own agenda? We know some of them align with humanity, and so far, it seems there are five human titans revealed.

The pace slows down towards the end of this volume, leaving us wondering what’s in store next. Let’s see how the story unfolds!

Armored Titan and Colossus Titan fight Eren. The titans apparently don't feel like adhering to the laws of physics or thermodynamics, I mean, obviously, but it's getting really ridiculous with the titans being able to manifest their bodies in weird ways. Case in point:



Bro, you forgot your lower half. Also, I don't think ribs can *grip* things.

Bunch of fight scenes that ends with Eren getting kidnapped. Again. We learn a little more about the titans but really not that much.

This was an ok volume but kind of dumb in parts.

i love these fights sm

[Henk · Rating 3 out of 5]

Crazy battles and a reflective ending. Also finally someone calling out Eren his naivety/simple world view
I can’t put my faith in you keep talking like some stupid kid

An epic battle starts off this volume. Mikasa for me is again the star of the volume, Armin also being quite touching.

Thanks Isayama for solidifying once again why Historia and Ymir are my OTP.
brb, going to go cry myself to sleep, again.

Story
I enjoyed the story a lot, but I was a bit disappointed to not get a single answer I was after. With the big reveal of volume 10, I was hoping for at least a few answers here.

I'd really like him to start picking up the pace on the plot development some moving forward. Thankfully now that I've read this volume I can catch up to what's been published in Japan thanks to Crunchyroll.

Artwork
I have the same problems here and I usually do. The action is just too hard to follow. There are some really great action sequences in this one that I'd love to see animated.

[Juho Pohjalainen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some pretty great wrestling. Not often that anime fights get this rough.

oh my god, eren is sooo extra. my instant fave.

[romancelibrary · Rating 3 out of 5]

I was expecting so much more information from this volume!

Notes for myself:

Eren needs to control his emotions. At least Ymir tried getting Reiner and Bertholdt to talk, but in vain. Obviously, Ymir knows a lot more than she lets on, but Reiner managed to keep her mouth shut by saying that it will protect Christa. Ugh. And Eren is NEVER asking the essential questions. So we're pretty much on the same page as the last volume. The only thing new that we find out is that Ymir knows a lot more than she lets on, Reiner probably has some mental issues seeing as how he sometimes thinks he's a soldier and sometimes thinks he's a warrior, and the whole gang finally knows the truth about Reiner, Bertholdt, and Ymir.

So now, while Reiner and Bertholdt are hiding in the forest of giant trees with Ymir and Eren as their captives, Hanji manages to figure out where they're hiding and the gang is now after them.

The thing is, there are still SO MANY UNANSWERED QUESTIONS!! We don't know why Reiner, Bertholdt, and Annie are against humanity. We only know that it has something to do with their hometown, which is where they are planning to go. While I understand that the gang wants to get Eren and Ymir back, I also think that they should be focusing their attention on Reiner's and Bertholdt's hometown. There may be some answers to their questions there.

- Beastly titan?
- Titan in inside the wall?
- Reiner's hometown? Why wipe humanity?
- How does one become a titan shifter?

I'm starting to feel like the author is dragging the story. I JUST WANT SOME ANSWERS UGH.

[Subham · Rating 4 out of 5]

What an epic volume, we have the fight between Eren and Reinier in their tian form, and the battle is epic. And the scenes of titans is just wow, the art is insane and then you have flashback sequences of them training and all, and Annie teaching Eren and then the modern time when they escape using one of Bertholdt's trick and then they are in the forest and we learn Reinier's split personality, Ymr and what she might know, Beast titan and it all enraging Eren. Meanwhile the scouting legion next will search for him. Insanely good volume and the art is spectacular!

YMIR AND "CHRISTA" ARE ENDGAME I LOVE MY MOTHERS SO MUCH DEAR LORD

[Nərmin · Rating 5 out of 5]

Eren -Reiner fight was amazingly exciting! But all was in vain...
Talk about emotion control.. One minute Eren decides to control his emotions, other minute he starts screaming again.
I wonder what is there in Reiner's hometown. And what Beast like titan is. I have got my share of spoilers but they are not enough to get all the answers and the manga is addicting...
One more thing: I suddenly felt heartbroken because of Reiner and Berthold. and because of Eren's reaction to this betrayal.

مواجهة ايرين وراينر من افضل المواجهات في السلسلة

[Manon「マノン」 · Rating 3 out of 5]

The volume where Eren finally realized that Bertolt and Reiner are the Colossus Titan and Armored Titan. Finally, he gets angry about it! Just a reminder, in the previous volume when it was revealed, Eren was like “cool, bro, I’m a Titan too”. Finally, he seems to remember that his mom died because of those two.

The volume where Mikasa tries to save Eren (again!). I actually feel bad for her because she cares/loves Eren so much. Finally, Armin and Mikasa realized that they are always there to help Eren when he’s in trouble (which is like all the damn time).

And Mikasa, trust me girl, Eren is not worth all the trouble and all the cries.

YMIR [cry]

[Jiro Dreams of Suchy · Rating 4 out of 5]

So who’s our real enemy?!

Who knows…


Mystery building up- for an epic titan battle it felt pretty weak the best part was the guys face when they saw the monkey man. The monkey man better be at the center of this struggle, such a good design. So off putting but “cool”

[Lashaan Balasingam · Rating 3 out of 5]

So much action in this one; barely any time to breath in between each page. As much as I'd like to appreciate all the grunting and punching, the story barely moved forward, more questions are thrown at us and the artwork continues to be meh... I mean... I still have difficulty differentiating genders for some characters!

And Eren is not a character I'll ever enjoy.
