WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?! This volume had so many twists and turns that it literally left me speechless. And that big twist at the end was just mind fucking blowing!!!
CRYING SCREAMING THROWING UP WHAT THE HECK DID I JUST READ?? I'm in actual shock and I need some time to process this. I can't even say what I'm screaming about because it'll be a massive spoiler asdjkhl
It also took me ten volumes to realize that Ymir was a girl. I don't know if I'm just oblivious or if her pronouns weren't used before... I mean I don't really like her much but that's beside the point-
Everyone needs to read this series so that we can all scream about it together.
Ymir también puede convertirse en titán y por si fuera poco, protagoniza una gran escena peleando contra todos los titanes hambrientos que quieren comerse a sus amigos... fue genial y muy emotiva. Ah, por cierto, es imposible no shippearla con Historia si funcionan tan bien juntas.
Y al final, en el último capítulo: ¡Sorpresa! Reiner y Bertholdt son traidores también, al igual que Annie. Son ellos quienes están detrás de los otros titanes inteligentes.
And I thought the Dancing Titan was a pretty interesting story... who knew the Armored and the Colossal would be so quick on her heels? This is damn cool, and now we've got one hell of a fight coming up. :)
I've decided to stick with short reviews for the time being while I acclimatise myself to reviewing again (I know I've been gone for long but I'm back for good)
This volume is a shonen that reeks of horror and thrills and lets the characters develop organically. I really do recommend this series even if I've misjudged it in the past.
Siguen apareciendo nuevos integrantes de la promo 104 que son titanes, en este caso Ymir, la cual se convierte para proteger a Christa o "Historia", del ataque nocturno de titanes sobre el castillo o toerron. Por otro lado el Titan bestia parece que controla al resto de titanes. Sigue habiendo mucho misterio en la historia de los titanes.

i remember the first time i saw this in the anime, my mind was blown :) isayama is one genius mf and this is only the beginning of his brilliance :)) the ymir and historia feels in this one 🥹🤧 and there we have connie 🤌🏼😂😂
Holy shit! I was not expecting that! That was definitely a stressful volume, but that twist towards the end was insane! I am still in shock. I am honestly a little upset that I don't have Volume 11 on hand because I'd be reading it right now. That was awesome! This just keeps getting better and better. I need the next one asap, as in yesterday!
اپدیت ۷ مهر ۴۰۰- این جلد پر از توییست های زیباست. یکی از زیباترین روشها رو هم برای روبهرو شدن با این توییستها انتخاب میکنه. و این دید جانبیش به رو شدن مسائل توی سیر سریع اتفاقات، حتی بیشتر ضربه میزنه به من مخاطب. ایمیر خیلی ناگهانی و وقتی تمرکز روی هیستوریاست، صحنه رو میدزده اما اوج غافلگیری وقتیه که قضیه راینر و برتولت توی پس زمینه رو میشه و تا قبل از فلش بک اینقدر بیاهمیت به نظر میاد که باورش خیلی سخت تر میشه. ضربهای که مخاطب نمیتونه ببینه، موثرترینه.
Heavily focused on action sequences and plot twists!
So many revelations that lead to so many more questions. Makes you wonder if there isn't something so much bigger happening elsewhere that would immediately enlighten us all on everything; which is in fact a nice parallel between humans and Gods.
Still not a huge fan of the artwork, even for the titan-esque action sequences. So messy and unappealing, but definitely a signature for this series.
Lol the big revelation was done so hilarious! I mean, who says important things on the background? It was almost like a joke!
Sometimes I wish Eren was smarter . Maybe not smartest like Armin, but at least smart enough to run when Mikasa says to. And I also wish the art was better...
I love the library but wish they kept omnibuses on hand- I prefer those to these single volumes although shout out the library
I also wish Goodreads would mark like I read this volume and the omnibus through 10 but it looks like I started with the tenth volume- I know it’s very nitpicky but this is my Goodreads!
This volume is great - the wall didn’t have a hole - Ymir is a titan and SHE KNEW…
Krista is a Royal by blood but outside of marriage so she spends her life looking to die a martyr
Reiner and Bertolt are both titans- they are being so obtuse and distant. The moment he grabs the empty bottle of liquor and is looking to the sky like JUST GIVE ME ONE THING! The back of the volume calls this series “Japan’s equivalent to the walking dead” and I totally get those vibes- the monsters are the star and they’re who you’d see on T-shirt’s and posters but man open your eyes WE are the walking dead!
