Absolutely binged these volumes. And it's funny. I've seen this arc of the anime at least a dozen times by now, and you would think it would get old. I thought it would get old. But I was hooked. I really enjoyed my reading of this arc in a way I didn't expect. Levi squad actually matters to me this time, which is weird. Looking forward to finishing the Female Titan arc in the next omnibus.
