Al fin he vuelto para ponerme al día y me encanta. Como apertura solo me queda decir que Eren está muy fachero; demasiado. Sin embargo, es una lastima que el camino que está tomando es muy parecido al nazismo.
Dejando a un lado eso, Shingeki no Kyojin es el vivo retrato de lo que las cadenas del odio pueden lograr y de cómo esa injusta creencia de hacer pagar a las personas por daños cometido hace muchísimo tiempo, por antepasados que nada tienen que ver con el presente es solo una completa y llana estupidez; en la que los conflictos bélicos se alimentan de la muerte y dejan con pérdidas grandes a ambos bandos; quienes demuestran que harán todo lo que esté en sus manos para alcanzar la “gloria", traicionando y matando a personas inocentes en el camino.
Gabi es otro buen ejemplo de adoctrinamiento, alimentada con un incomensurable odio racista a los eldianos e inconscientemente hacia ella misma sin darse cuenta. Es interesante la chica como análisis de ese círculo vicioso y dañino que repercute en las siguientes generaciones.

There's never a dull moment in this series. There may be points when you have no idea what in the world is going on, but soon things switch perspectives, jump to different timelines, locations and things start to fall into place like a gracefully constructed puzzle.
I probably should've reviewed every volume separately but I'm lazy, so bear with me.
A few of volumes ago, we witnessed a major "jump" as we entered into a completely different arc of the story. Suddenly it wasn't all about three walls protecting our protagonists from an army of brainless titans. The plot gained... weight. It suddenly spread out like deliciously powerful weeds in a garden. And now Pandora's box is open and its contents are kicking.
At this point, we are bouncing around multiple perspectives and timelines, filling in holes left behind in the plot and coming a full circle with it.
What is also happening is that we're returning to the essence of this series, which is full of hidden agendas, conspiracies, cover-ups, betrayals, major-character deaths and loads and loads of plot-twists.
Ever since this new arc started, I have to mention that Eren has finally gained my respect. That little boy who had joined the army and wanted to simply kill all the titans for revenge but was generally too weak to do much about it, has finally grown up.

This was a great volume!! There's lots of information in this one that's revealed through multiple timelines, so I took my time with this one so that I could absorb everything. I really like the direction that the story is going in and I'm glad that the story is starting to get more interesting.
Also, Hange is non-binary?? I didn't realize that until this volume, but I honestly love that.

Ok, this is not the Attack On Titan I used to love. The story is taking a completely different route, and this volume especially dragged like hell. There are too many new characters I can't bring myself to care about, too much political mumbo jumbo and no action at all.

A twisty volume with a lot of internal politics and a bad ass Eren emerging
Gabi is the Marley equivalent of Eren basically.
Revolutions never stop seems to be the adagium.

This is where all the scheming, negotiating and betraying happens.
Also, lots of shirtless Eren panels, how could we ever forget that.

Story
I feel like the story is starting to drag. Originally I picked up the manga because I had no idea if there would be a season 2 of the show and I really wanted to know what would happen next. It took a lot longer to get some of those answers and now that I have most of them, I'm looking for things to wrap up.
Except they don't really seem to be. I feel like very little happened in this volume. I still enjoyed it, but not as much as the last few.
Artwork
I struggled with the artwork. It's probably largely due to the time jump, but I had issues telling characters apart. It took me several panels to realize who someone was or realize I thought they were someone they weren't.
The quality of artwork is far and away better than the early part of the series, but I feel like the characters could be a bit more distinct.

کلن جلد mehیه این یکی. بعد از قضایای کودتا این تیکهها رو خیلی دوست ندارم. گبی شستشوی مغزی داده شده هم به حد کفایت رو مخه. ولی قسمتهای خوبیم داشت مثه ترور زیبای زکلی با صندلی محبوبش.
و ارن که واقعا شخصیتی به نفرت انگیزی گبی بود برام حالا داره احترام کسب میکنه و لایقشم هست. واقعا دلم میخواست رهاش کنن یذارن به کارش برسه.
وقت غر زدن از آرته و برام عجیبه هنوز بعد از بیست هفت چپتر باید این آرت خراب رو تحمل کنم. تازه بعد از پیشرفتهای فراوان به این نقطه رسیده که قلبمو درد میاره. چه هیستوریاییه اخه داری میکشی.ʕಠ_ಠʔ

This volume was heartbreaking, especially parts related to orphanage.

This one really had scheme upon scheme..plus deception and just when I though I had it figured it out..then NO!!
I can't even guess where this is leading and perhaps I should just go along for the ride in the last volumes

L’ensemble est très confus dans ce tome avec des sauts dans le temps de personnages des deux camps, on s’y perd.
Gaby est si détestablement bête et endoctrinée !

Volumen interesante, donde se descubre que Zeke está ahora de parte de los de la isla!!! y tramaron el plan de ataque juntos!!
Además de numerosos flashback que nos explican cosas que pasaron antes del ataque de Eren a la nación Mare, su evolución tecnológica.
Hay una muerte de uno de los componentes de la guardia de reconocimiento.
Esta además Eren prisionero cuando vuelven a la isla ,por traición y actuar solo, como siempre!!
A por el siguiente!!

I'm not entirely sure what's going on, but I think it will start coming together. Bonus: apparently Levi was "popular enough" with the ladies, who would've thought?

Ma quanto si sta evolvendo la serie rispetto all’inizio? Ci sono tutta una serie di pieghe inaspettate!

Este volumen se me hizo un poquito pesado y es por todo el dialogo que hay, tanto de estrategias como políticos.
Igual me encanta mucho y tiene momentos bastante marcados.
No me importa nada, yo no puedo dejar de amarlo.
Todo mi amor a Nikolo, Jean, Kaya bonita y Falco bebé. Ah, y para el caballo, el mejor personaje asdfglc.
Pdta: ese final con Eren al sol es uf, uf 10/10.

—No tengo intención de dárselo a ustedes.
— ¿Por qué?
— Ustedes son preciados para mi. Más que nadie. Por eso quiero que tengan una larga vida.

Algo positivo del manga es que es más claro que el anime con la cuestión del Retumbar, el plan de Zeke, las dudas del ejército en Paradis y el camino de Eren. Este punto de la historia donde nadie confía en nadie y el lector no sabe de qué lado ponerse me impacta de una manera incómoda y al mismo tiempo fascinante. Hay que ser hábil (como escritor) para dejar a los lectores así, comprendiendo cada perspectiva y sintiendo el dilema que representa un conflicto de ideas donde por todos los lados involucrados hay lógica, razón y fundamento. No solo hay un conflicto entre naciones, sino otro dentro de una misma nación en un momento crítico para la misma. Los anteriores revolucionarios se enfrentan a una nueva revolución y comprenden el papel del “lado obsoleto”, que en su tiempo consideraban “malo”. Dicen que están actuando por el bien del pueblo, pero en realidad hay mucha hipocresía y están repitiendo parte de los errores de sus predecesores. Y, como es de esperar, los del lado de la revolución no quieren quedarse con nada del antiguo régimen y tienen el apoyo del pueblo.
Releer solo mejora la experiencia.
