Honestly i dont like the way the story is going . I admit it has a lot to do with the nostalgy i feel for first type of the series which was about survival, valor and strenght. Now is all about politics and international relations haha. I have major in International Relations and still that doesnt make me enjoy the line the manga is going. Is not bad writing but i expected the worldbuilding to be less similiar than the real life events we see in the news everyday. I enjoyed more the fantasy elements of it.
The Titans are barely relevant anymore and we mostly see human beings fighting eachother instead of the feeling of uniting for survival that humans used to have against titan.
I know making characters more complex doesnt ruin them but at this point is hard to like anybody here, with everyone switching sides all the time and its now impossible to really root for anyone or any solution because everyone became a murderer and has no solid clear intention anymore

Aunque este tomo al igual que el anterior se aleja del conflicto de Eren y lo que sea que esté pasando por su mente; que seguro no hay que ser adivino para saberlo... Ante todo, sigue siendo una historia interesante. En la que por medio de los demás personajes secundarios Isayama permite enriquecer ese aspecto grisáceo en sus acciones, demostrando el arrepentimiento, los años desperdiciados por fines igual de inútiles y desgastantes. La dualidad del ser; esos debates morales a los que se puede llegar como un nudo complejo.

No me aburre para nada conocer más sobre lo que piensan y lo que sienten pero me preocupa que el final está cerca y si será medianamente aceptable.

2021 reread
Beware of rambles

Having reread most of the chapters that covers (and will cover) season 4, and with that being more anchored in the plot, I can with confidence say that this is my lesser favourite of the manga volumes (from volume 1). Not because I don't like the way the story is going. Most of the chapters in this volume was just not as captivating (minus chapter 130, shit is going down there). At the time writing this review I only have one chapter left to read of the manga (which will be out in a couple of weeks), and I sorta liked how the story been going. Now I'm just hoping Isayama will not fuck it all up. I do still miss the good old days where everything was fight titans and go to the basement. And I did get mad at first when the manga took that turn after the basement because all I wanted was titan slaying, you know? With that small-scale politics going on inside the walls to spice things up. I also got really hard times accepting new characters that gets introduced really late into a series. Like do you know how long it took me to finally realize my love for Pieck? Chapter 116-117 (which was back in 2019 and I think we met the new cast back in 2017). And it took me until the anime to warm up to Gabi.
Also the chapters after this volume all gonna be I N T E N S E send help I'm not ready to reread them.

Bit lower rating because I'm kinda losing the plot a little and I also kinda miss the good old days before they got to the basement. Not sure if I mentioned it in previous reviews but I haven't enjoyed the manga quite as much since they reached the ocean. I feel like my enjoyment have had more up and downs since then.

[Alexandra Elend Wolf · Rating 5 out of 5]

“I’m still the 14th commander… of the Survey Corps. I devoted my heart to the freedom of mankind… it feels like… I can see all my comrades […] Still… ‘Just bringing freedom to this island is enough for me.’ Do you think a single one of them would be so narrow-minded… as to say that? […] I’m still… a member of the Survey Corps.”

I think this is one of my favorite volumes just because it has two of my favorite chapters of the whole manga. So incredibly emotional and hard-hitting.

The complexity that the story has achieved and the many deep issues that we are presented with, and finally got to explore and deal with them more, makes my heart ache and feel oh so very proud of all the characters and the maturity they have achieved. The understanding of one another and the complicated world they all live in.

Combine all this with the wonderful and fast-paced action we get and it makes for a very balanced volume to enjoy.

“I want to apologize for my behavior last night. We… were mistaken. I was being flippant when I spoke about justice… that was… an unseemly attempt on my part to justify my actions, even now. I was afraid of having to look at myself because it’d mean seeing everything contemptible about [redacted]. This isn’t your responsibility. It’s wrong to place the sins of the past on your shoulders just because […] But… we do have a responsibility to make sure… that future generations learn about this foolish, bloodstained history of ours […] This hell will never end so long as we keep pretending to ignore our foolish actions. So please… just for now, close your eyes… to my own foolish actions.”

As much as I love the action, plot, and world-building that Attack on Titan has the thing that has kept me more entertained and nailed to my spot through the story is the characters and their interactions with each other and the world around them. How everything shapes them and becomes part of who they are. So, having a volume where so much of that is explore was just delightful.

It has not been an easy journey the one they have been trudging and it's not about to become any easier so their different reactions to it all are beyond satisfying. And we do have quite a range of personalities.

I think I could cry through the whole volume if I have to read it one more time because I just seem to grow more and more attached to the characters with every second that passes. This was counterproductive because it made my heart nearly stop in so many places thanks to all the action and the utter disregard for the character lives that Isayama seems so fond of.

Seeing characters that I hadn't expected much from rising to the occasion and give it their all was the single most heart-breaking thing to witness ever in a completely wholesome and pure and warm way; if any of that is even possible to be felt in the middle of a war.

“I know… how shameless it is of me to ask, but… we need all of you to help us… please… won’t you lend us your strength?!”

That last chapter was really cool though. Being able to see what was happening else and how things are progressing was... beyond disturbing and creepy.

To say that things have gone down the dark, messy, and completely unhinged side is probably putting it mildly... something I can not complain about because it was brought to us in the most satisfying way. Things are bad, terrible really, but that is exactly what I wanted out of this manga.

I don't even know how I managed to survive reading this volume, by the skin of my teeth certainly, but I know that I will be returning to it, specifically, many times in the future and that it'll hit me harder each time.

“I’ve done nothing I can be proud of… In spite of what my conscience told me… I instructed children to act in a country’s best interest […] I finally realized… just how happy I would have been… if only those kids could’ve lived normal lives.”

No one is unscathed or safe in the scramble to stop the most radical of solutions
So long as we avert our eyes from our own foolish acts this hell will never end

What this series is conjuring in terms of criticism on nationalism, rejection of absolutism and focus on common humanity, however hard or unlikely succes might seem, is strangely hopeful.

You can’t separate humanity from violence

They want to keep forcing children to eat their parents

I'm going to start by saying I cried. Chapter 130, volume 32 "Dawn of humanity" is where I break.

Furry won hell but with just one conversation he can enter heaven on Mondays.

For context, this is the scene that made me cry:

Zeke: " So, what you're saying is that you just want to know what is the true nature of the affection that Ackerman girl has for you? you want to know what I think, Eren? that affection has nothing to do with instinct, nor does it have any hidden true nature or reason to it.
She just loves you so much... that she would face and kill titans for you. That's all."

"So, how will you respond?

Eren: "What are you saying, brother? I've only got four more years to live, at most."

*some shit with Historia that idgaf*

"They will keep on living long after I'm gone. I want them to live. Long after... and I want them to be happy."

CAN YOU HEAR ME CRYING!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? I WILL DEHYDRATE WHEN THE ANIME GIVES US THAT SCENE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I already knew about Eren lying to Mikasa in order to save her but DAMN BRO, IT HURTS! Also, even before I read the actual scene I already thought about infiltrated!Eren cutting his own leg every day and fucking up his eye... I just want them to be happy, I literally I'm so tired of watching them not having the happiness they deserve together.

Anyways, catch me crying at the end of chapter 138 and the 9th of April at the ending of the story.

I never would have expected Floch to survive this long and be this annoying.

I know a lot of people don’t like the direction the story is going, but bingeing a bunch of chapters instead of waiting for monthly updates is a lot more enjoyable.

[Althea ☾]

This serves as my review for the whole Attack on Titan series

This is one of my favourite animes and series of all time. It's also one of the highly acclaimed anime series ever so if you don't even know about Attack on Titan at this point... you are missing out. I'm updated with the manga since it's still ongoing but it is going to be ending very soon. I do think you should watch the series first before reading the manga :)

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!! Especially if you are into fantasy with high paced action sequences, surprising twists, and mystery.

plot→ It's basically set in this world wherein the last of the human race are forced to live behind this circular walled city called Paradis because titans who devour humans suddenly started appearing on Earth. The story begins when, after 300 years I think... or is it 30??, a titan suddenly breaks into the walled city. The story revolves around Eren (and friends) who has always dreamed of being part of the Survey Corps as they were previously regarded as the heroes of the city. However, they have since been looked down on by the residents because their expeditions outside the walls in the past years have always resulted in mass slaughter.

There are 3 branches in the city's military body: the Survey Corps, the Garrison, and the Military Police Brigade. Survey Corps go outside the wall to scout areas for expansion and most of the skilled ODM (this is the gear that they use to kill the titans) users are in this branch since they fight the titans most frequently. Garrison patrol the walls of the city and are in charge of protecting the walls from titan invasions. Military Police Brigade stay in the innermost city to protect the royal family and whoever else is rich and powerful enough to live there. There is also a side branch that takes care of the new recruits and trains them before they are placed in the actual military body.

I didn't know this had a military thing going on and to be honest it's one of favourite sub themes in fantasy so that was a pleasant for me.

One of the interesting sociopolitical points in this series is that the city itself is subdivided into 3 walls: Wall Maria, Wall Rose, and Wall Sina. The poorest in the city are forced to live on the outermost wall since they are the ones that titans would most likely get to first in case the city is breached. The richest are in Wall Sina like the royal family. This raised a lot of points to think about especially when the wall gets breached and they need to move towards the inner parts of the city.

I'm not going to go too much else in depth because it is partly a mystery series but one of the main things that made this series standout to me is the looming idea that they don't really know who the enemy is. Honestly, this series raises a lot of political issues and discussions that I like to talk about with other people who have also read/watched it. Another aspect that I like here, is what is really considered good or bad, if there even is such a thing in a person's motives. You'll see this more on the later sides of the series because the first part is more on action scenes and build up since it's meant to pull you into the world. But the later arcs just add up to it and make it seriously one of the most phenomenal stories I have come across.

If you haven't realized: I love this series TO DEATHHH.

I consider this a must watch and must read for basically everyone who just wants a good story with characters that you won't get tired of. The manga art does get better throughout the series. I also just want you guys to meet my man Levi basically hehe <3 I'm kidding but seriously... this series has one of the best plots and storytellings especially it's lore side. I was gasping at every plot twist and this is coming from a person who usually ends up guessing what happens in the plot.


This is Levi btw^^ *heart eyes*

WARNING: the manga is definitely on the gory side but the anime not much so (but still intense). it didn't really bother me though but you have been warned.

[Subham · Rating 4 out of 5]

What an epic book! Okay this one was quite good, as we have the makeshift alliance trying to find the answer to what they should do with the Yaegerists who have occupied the flying boat and also held captive the Azumabito, its a question of morality and like what should they do? Let the Yaegerists be killed or prevent bloodshed? these questions are answered when they tried to do it peacefully but couldn't and its an all out war and they have to kill them, for the Eldians to kill their own comrades to prevent Global Genocide is something and raises questions and all and makes the reader feel conflict of emotions. But then again thats the great thing about the manga and we see great scenes where Mikasa is slaughtering them or the tians fighting them or whatever is going on with Falco and then we have Eren in the end attacking the global alliance troops and just the scene of his new form is just wow. This manga is operating on another level atm and is just full of great stuff and couldn't be a better time to read it! The art is as usual fantastic!

[Sol]

Never read ongoing manga.



I told myself I wouldn't write about Shingeki until it was over, but
A)I believed "War for Paradis" would be the last arc
B)I've been increasingly doubtful this manga will end this year
and after 130, I can't hold it in any longer.

My biggest question for myself is why I liked the War for Paradis so much more than this "End of the World" arc. The obvious reason would be that I hate what's happened to the 104th, or that the blueballing after Eren's declaration of his intentions was almost unbearable (of all the times to bring Connie's titanized mom back up...)

But I think the actual reason is that structurally it's so much simpler, and not compelling enough to make up for that. The Paradis arc wasn't quite as good as Marley or Uprising, but it still had a lot going for it. Zeke's captivity, the pregnancy, the integration of the Marleyan volunteers, the plane, the wine, Gabi and Falco's jailbreak, the 104th doubting Eren, the coup, the impending invasion, Zeke backstory after all these years, the third perspective on the Chapel massacre. Even with the confusing flashback structure, it was still comprehensible, and even if a chapter consisted of characters standing around being confused, it was exciting. The current arc, on the other hand, really has only two threads. There is the new "basement" of Eren's mind, memories, and motives (which was true of "Paradis" too), and the alliance trying to stop him. Since we've been denied Eren's mind up until now, we've been forced to rely solely on the alliance to sustain the manga, and I really do not care about their problems at this point. Connie's mom, Annie's dad, Hange's regrets. Armin has lost what Gesumin spark he had back in uprising, and Gabi's discovery that the islanders are people isn't compelling to me. Mikasa...yeah. Whatever Eren is thinking and told Historia is infinitely more interesting to me than anything we got in the last two volumes, and getting another drawn out battle with the Jeagerists can't compare to the destruction that would come with the end of the world.



I count it a failure of Isayama's writing that he stacked the world situation too heavily against Eren. Given the story presented, I can't find fault in Eren or Floch's actions (and Zeke's technically). It doesn't seem like Isayama could come up with a story resolution that doesn't involve either the complete destruction of Humanity or Eldians, or at best a reset of the situation to another stalemate. I think Isayama was trying to make Eren a "non-consequentialist villain", rather than the types we usually see in these overblown animanga scenarios. Consequentialist villains can be shown that they were wrong about the empirical basis of their scheme, but the only real counterargument to the scenario in Shingeki is pacifism. The only in-story alternative to destruction of the world is the 50 year plan, which requires sacrificing the lives of several people, Ymir's continued enslavement, and still wouldn't actually be guaranteed to work. If Isayama was trying to make some morally grey situation, he failed.



While structurally he can be seen as a villain, I don't think he's done anything wrong. Certainly not Eren, and only arguably Floch. Floch trying to torch civilian housing during the Liberio raid had an obvious military purpose, and while beating Shadis was not justifiable at the time, Shadis later proved himself the type of person who would murder his former students in order to ensure the annihilation of his homeland and comrades. So in retrospect I have no sympathy for Shadis. Trying to execute Onyakopon is a pretty bad look (Yelena had it coming), but he did offer the volunteers a chance to swear loyalty to Paradis. I can't read it as anything but Isayama trying to make the readers hate Floch, regardless of if his actions make sense for the circumstances. The wine is another hitch, but from 130 it seems that Eren and Floch were going along with the plan to make it like seem they wholeheartedly supported Zeke. Regardless, he's no worse than the regime he ousted, and certainly not as bad as the fandom likes to paint him.

In fact, Floch remains one of my favourite characters. Part of it is just that he was introduced so late yet has risen so far, and his roast during the memorial ceremony was what solidified him as a favourite. So often in stories, morality is centred purely around the actions of the protagonist. The idea that this side character would talk down to the main characters and call them out was like a bolt of lightning. What I love most about him is that he does what he believes what is right, regardless of what happened in the past. Zeke came within inches of killing him at Shiganshina and killed Erwin, but Floch was still willing to help Zeke and even kill Levi when he thought that was what was necessary to save Paradis. He took on Eren as his new Devil even though Eren had supported saving Armin. He isn't a man who holds grudges. He just does what he must to save his people.

What's more, he's brave. Plenty of people like to call Floch a coward because he cried when he was faced with certain death, but he's proved again and again to be one of the bravest people in the manga. He has no special combat abilities or regeneration powers like the others, but he still faces down death for what he believes in, time and time again. Whether it was telling Armin to his face that he should have died, masterminding a coup that would see him executed if he failed, or in 129 where he made a final suicidal charge to destroy the boat, Floch is anything but a coward. Isayama has utterly failed to make me hate him. Floch thought there could be no successor to Erwin, but he's proven himself admirably capable in that role.

All that makes it a little odd that I really want him to die in the coming chapters. Specifically, I want Zeke to kill him somehow. I'm sure Isayama can asspull some circumstance that lets Zeke get to Floch (maybe he was on the train that Shadis derailed). First, I think it would be fitting if Zeke killed the only survivor of his massacre at Shiganshina. Second, it would be thematically fitting that Zeke would kill Floch in aid of the alliance. Zeke and the alliance are both fighting for the destruction of Paradis, they're just not able to admit it. I would love to watch them contort themselves trying to argue that Zeke isn't a natural ally of theirs (if they can forgive Pieck, Reiner and Annie, shouldn't they be able to forgive Zeke too?) But most of all, I don't want Floch to die to any of the husks of characters that make up the alliance.



The warriors are basically fine, but I've really grown to hate Hange and the remnants of the 104th. None of them have come up with any remotely plausible counterargument to Eren. Hange and Armin are the worst of the lot. Both of them utterly failed to understand Eren (or even be aware that he and Floch were plotting a coup), and they're now killing their Jeagerist former comrades so that they can save the people who were in the very act of trying to annihilate everyone they ever knew just days earlier. Armin has some insane idea that there is a peaceable solution possible, and Hange has literally no ground to stand on. Her only justification is that if they stop Eren, maybe they can delay the destruction of the island by a couple years. I consider all of them the lowest kind of scum. The only good scene they've had was when Jean beat the living tar out of Reiner. It was the only time when any of their members seemed to have actual human emotions, rather than pathological altruism that would hand their executioners the guns to kill them with. If Jean had permanently walked away from the alliance, I might still like him. I would count Reiner and Yelena as the only interesting characters in their number.

Given that I hate them, why do I like Kruger? Kruger supposedly killed hundreds of his Eldian comrades, so why don't I hate him? Am I being bamboozled by framing? Maybe I should hate him. He deluded himself that he was killing his comrades for the ultimate salvation of Eldia, but in truth he was just a coward too scared to go on the mission he entrusted to Grisha. Maybe its just that he seems better written to me. Kruger as the child who was never able to escape the closet, killing those he should have been saving so he could live a little longer, while pathetic, at least makes sense. Hange's impulse to help her enemies get rid of the one person who can stop them from killing everyone she ever knew just reads as unmotivated to me. Maybe its just that Kruger was able to admit he was a coward. Hange, on the other hand, invokes the memories of the dead SC members to justify stopping Eren. Yeah, I'm sure all those people who were killed by the very people you're working with would be absolutely thrilled. At least Erwin had the balls to admit he didn't care how many people died fulfilling his dream.

So in summary, almost every character but Eren, Floch, Zeke and Historia have been touched in varying degrees by the hand of authorial railroading. Isayama has a scheme he's going to put into place, and he'll do it regardless of how little sense the actions of the characters make. He's already done this before. Fake Ymir's suicidal impulse to save Reiner kind of made sense for her character, but in retrospect it just seems like a convenient way to preserve the basement twist for much later. The serumbowl too, led to Floch's roast which I consider one of the best scenes in the manga. While the serumbowl certainly served other story purposes, that is the one that kind of justifies its occurrence to me. If Isayama can engineer some kind of Eren/Reiner/Armin/Hange encounter that necessitated all this bullshit, I might be able to overlook it in the end. I've doubted him before and been wrong, but he's making it really hard this time.



In light of all that, chapter 130 was like a breath of fresh air after being mired in a fetid swamp fed by sewer runoff. Eren, Historia, Zeke and Floch, all in one chapter? I almost couldn't believe it was actually happening. Isayama keeping vague on the pregnancy subplot is still absolutely groanworthy, but seeing that Eren told Historia and Floch his plans after months of "Floch is bullshitting, Historia would never allow Eren to do this" from the fans was extremely gratifying. And that "worst girl in the world line"... never thought I'd see it again. I also missed the weird levity of Zeke, but most of all, finally seeing that Eren actually intends to destroy the world makes me hopeful that we might finally be near to the end of the story. Eren's mind has been the "new basement" for 2 years at least, so can I hope that we might be heading into the final volume?



Even though we're supposedly this close to the end, I can still see quite a few scenarios:

-Eren is killed
        -The path of destruction encompasses the entire planet and Paradis is destroyed. All humans and Eldians annihilated. Curse ends.
        -The world survives largely intact. Paradis is annihilated, mainland Eldians are finally massacred. Curse ends.
        -The world is thrown into disarray, they're unable to mount an effective offensive against Paradis. Paradis expands and fortifies. Curse continues into the forseeable future. (But then how in hell is the baby "free"? Even with the irony attached to the word "free" in this manga it still wouldn't make sense.)
-Eren survives and does not destroy the world (see above)
-Eren survives and destroys the world
        -Does the alliance live or die?
        -Does the curse end or continue? Does it have to do with unifying the original titan?
        -Is Ymir freed? Is she reborn?
        -Does Eren mindwipe the survivors, so that the lie that humanity was wiped out by the titans becomes true? What about Mikasa, who can't be mindwiped?
-And of course, the wildcard ending that could not possibly be foreseen without access to the paths (aliens return for their parasite, physical time travel and travel to the high school AU goes here)

I think we can dismiss the endings that involve the destruction of Paradis, since a "The Mist" ending is supposedly no longer in the cards (but Kiyomi saying she'll protect Mikasa no matter what makes me think a "Mikasa is the only survivor" has at least a chance of happening). Isayama also claims he wants to "hurt the readers". Of course, that depends on the reader. To a casual reader that sounds something like Eren killing his former friends. Hurting me would probably involve Armin being right after all and Eren was just too stupid to see the light at the end of the diplomatic tunnel.

Things that still have yet to be covered:
-"See you later Eren"
-What Eren said to that Turkish kid
-Who the father is (I'm 90% sure its Eren at this point, but whatever)
-Who Eren was talking to in the mirror (Ymir? Grisha? Future successor?)
-How Eren saw things like Falco reaching upwards this chapter - have his memories expanded beyond the AT?
-"That scenery" and what Eren sees beyond it
-Who that girl in the S3P2 ED is - Willy's sister? Young Gabi? Girl born after the end of the world?
-Will the curse end?
-Who among the alliance will live or die? Will Reiner get to die?
-Origin of the parasite - I don't actually want or expect this to be covered, but I also thought there would never be an Ymir flashback, so anything's possible.

A manga that is all about the desperate survival of humanity by eradicating the titans, turned into dropping that uno reverse card for the annihilation of humanity to prevent the Eldians being discriminated by all of the people in the world!

I!!! JUST!!! CAN SOMEONE GIVE EREN A HARD KICK IN HIS ASS!?

I don't know if I'm doing a proper review right now or just blabbering. I want Carla to be resurrected and show her disappointment to Eren. This is like Game of Thrones but annihilation of all. Instead of burning the king's landing, what Eren was doing was Rumbling. The. Whole. Phucking. World. Except Paradis!!

What he was doing by now, seems a lot like he was trying to make everyone know the threat of the titans back when Willy Tybur made that speech. He'd shown the world how the people of the Paradis what they were capable of. He was trying to instill in these people's minds that they really are the devils. He's trying to give the people of the Paradis have no choice but to go along with Eren's ideals because apparently they think that all of the people around the globe wants the Eldian people to be wiped out.

They had no choice. It was going accordingly to Eren's plans. But thankfully, the squad will stop Eren. I just want to erase the existence of titans and let the people live in peace. It also saddens me to see that the Warrior Unit are slowly opening up to the Paradisians and finally realizing that all of them have their own Demons.

It’s very interesting 4 chapters and a good character development.
For a start, how Jann has changed! Even when he doesn’t want to include himself in this mess but deep down he knows that Marco is watching just like how Hanji was saying to him that her old teammates and Erwin is still watching her and they both bearing the responsibility to stop Eren but they don’t know what to do.

The last chapter was insanely beautiful!! The sequence draws and panels that first start from the flashback and how we know a little of Eren’s plan from the start and how beautiful the two flashbacks panels of Eren/Historia and Eren/Zeki came across, its clearly that there is something we don’t know yet and surprise! The Founding Titan Eren is here! How scary.

Despite the ending, Attack on Titan has been one of the best manga I have ever read. The manga has amazing well-written characters with the ability to generate some of the best character interactions I have ever seen in any story. Everything about this series is so unique that when you encounter it again later and continue reading there will be something new for me to discover!

- Por fin lo entiendo. Habría sido muy feliz si esos niños hubieran tenido vidas normales.

Estoy triste porque justamente este volumen termina como terminó el anime. por ahora (y volver a recordar toda la animación que incluyó el capítulo 123 del manga + las escenas finales me hizo llorar de nuevo)

Está fuerte lo que pasa, las traiciones, la venganzas y la alianza.

- Me quedan cuatro años de vida a lo mucho. Sus vidas continuarán incluso después que muera. Quiero que ellos tengan una vida larga y feliz.



Ahora a esperar EL FINAL DEL FINAL DEL FINAL para poder terminar el manga y eso me pone más triste todavía.

¿Lo positivo? No soltaré todavía Shingeki no Kyojin, me durará más tiempo. Wii.

• Ya no quiero pelear. Ya no quiero verme en la obligación de matarte. A ninguno de ustedes... Y tampoco a Eren
