[Baba · Rating 4 out of 5]

As things escalate inside(!) the Walls, two groups search for the break in the Wall. There must be a break, right? It seems multiple parties, not just the Titans have come out overtly seeking to get hold of Eren. In the meantime Levi's team are really up against it surrounded by Titans, stuck in the tower! Although plot wise and overall pace and flow wise this series is humming, the indecipherable (to me) artwork means in the climatic chapters of this Omnibus, I have a limited idea of who is who, during the huge melee in the forest, where the humans strive to stop Armoured-Titan and get back who he took. Still, another Four Stars, 8 out of 12, but very much on the border

“We were just kids… we didn’t know anything. If only we’d never heard that these bastards existed. Then I wouldn’t have become such a half-hearted piece of shit. I don’t know what’s right anymore. But, I do know that I have to face the consequences of my actions, and carry out my duty as a warrior to the end.”

And just like that, the story got a hundred times more complicated, in the best way possible.

If I was unsure of liking Attack on Titan I am now firmly converted to it and just floored with how intense, complex, emotional, epic, and emotional it can be. And, I mean, it has one of the best, if not the greatest, twists in the history of twists executed so beautifully that I can not get it out of my head; build up in such a natural way that it feels like you should have known it from the beginning and yet rocking the whole story for forevermore.

So many elements combine to make this section of the story completely unforgettable it's almost unbelievable.

“D… Do you think that anyone wants to kill people?!!! What kind of person would do this for fun?! Who would want to do this?! With what we did, of course, you despise us and want to kill us! We can never take any of it back, but, we could not come to terms with our sins […] I know we don’t have the right to apologize, but, someone, please, someone, I’m begging you, someone find us…”

Pulling a really good twist is no easy fit, and the fact that this one has so much build-up, so many threads that foreshadowed it makes it one of my favorites.

From the second that the other shoe drops there is not a single second where I wasn't amazed by the way Isayama handled the story. Taking into account that this is a bit that we've seen before - both in the manga as well as media - it could have been simply predictable but though there were the familiar beats of the dance the song, the rhythm, and the pace were unique and so well-adjusted to where he wanted to take us it becomes an entirely different beast.

As in previous installments we get so many questions answered and yet we still have no clue of what's going on, in the best way possible. As recontextualized as the plot is we're steadily churning forward and that is a very exciting prospect.

“As a person, I’m really lower than shit, but she knows that, and she smiles kindly at me anyway. You two don’t know what that’s like, do you?”

This is not a story filled with a lot of romance, it's just not a very good brewing pot for it, but one of my favorite dynamics was that of Krista and Ymir.

Just, as convoluted and crazy as it all felt, both because of the circumstances and the mystery, they manage to have a very genuine and touching relationship. They're both characters that we know little about but getting to see them support each other makes me soft.

I really hope to see more of them together.

There's also the fact that, because nothing happens in a vacuum, their interactions end up affecting other characters in very interesting ways and it's fascinating.

“We need to stop living for others. From now on, let’s live for ourselves!! I don’t know how to explain it, but when I’m with you, I don’t feel scared. No matter where I am!!”

Now, the closing moments of the last volume don't slouch and are just as crazy, powerful, intriguing, emotional, and fascinating as you'll expect from a cliffhanger.

It delivers a very satisfying moment for our main characters, which felt fantastic, but as this apocalyptic world has shown us time and time again, nothing comes without a price, and a lot of the time that price is not something you'll want to pay.

Though I wouldn't change it for anything.

Where we'll go from here is a big mystery as we've reached a point where most of the initial conflict is, somewhat, resolved and, therefore, the future is a big question mark. Fun.

“I liked those days. If [redacted] were here, he might call them a time of false peace, but being a good-for-nothing, drunk soldier was enough for me. I’d do anything to get those quiet, dull days back. No matter how long it takes. […] Because as long as you three aren’t together, I’ll never get those days back.”

Ugh, this was so good!

That plot twist will NEVER not be one of my favorite things EVER.

RTC.

It's been a while since the last time I read a volume of this manga and, honestly, I miss it a lot.

So, here I am, ready to dive back into the story with a couple more volumes... I really don't remember exactly where we had left off so that's going to be fun.

Anyway! Onwards with what is undoubtedly gonna be more detailed worldbuilding.

More of the same, and that's OK, but, alas, for me, this volume was not the most interesting chunk to this point....

Sure, the level of complexity was ratcheted up, but I didn't feel like my level of investment increased correspondingly.

I'm relatively confident I'll continue on with the next trance, but I definitely won't be dropping everything to satisfy my curiosity....

I do wish the colossi titan played a little bit of a bigger role, however his brief clash with the survey corpse is amazing. It shows off the strength and the weakness while keeping the titan true ace hidden. The steam it creates able to both burn and force stuff away is a strong defense maybe even stronger than the armor titan. I would have loved to see the armor titan being pushed up against the colossi steam. Would the armor be pushed back or will it keep on going. Another thing of note is the reveal of the smile titan showing back up and killing Hanns. The true nature of the titan makes this moment even better.

Volume 10 = The battle at the tower is a great tense fight set up from the events of eight. I will say the fight a bit ruin by the brand uninteresting survey corpse members just there to die. The reveal of Ymir at the end of the battle and Krista real name is great. Another great moment is the look on Reiner and Bertolt face giving hints that they are also titans. The reveal later within the volume is a bit bland with is very sudden. I like the colossi titan, however Bertolt is not really the most interesting characters at this point within the manga. Riner has shown up and been helping out Armin and Jean. Bertolt kind of just been their following alone. A bit strange since in the first four volumes the colossi titan is mentioned more than the armor titan just for the armor to play a bigger role.

Volume 11 = The clash with the colossi titan is great with is speed and steam showing off both a weakness and a strength of the titan. The majority of the volume is the fight with Reiner and the aftermath of the battle. I am a fan of the armor titan; however, he does not do well within the series. Great defense, but hardening and anti-titan cannons makes that mute. Eren using the armor against Reiner is a great moment, however I do wish we gotten a look into Reiner view during the fight. The ending is great and the talk with Ymir is important for multiple characters and moving the story.

Volume 12 = The battle with the armor titan is not the most interesting with wild titans making this a bloody battle. Erwin loses an arm while all of the MP they brought with them are killed. The smile titan showing up was a great twist and leads to one of the most important moments within the manga. For how important this fight is, this is probably one of the least interesting fights in my opinion. The battlefield is not that interesting, and the action is brief. I do like how Reiner toss wild titans towards the solders.

Characters: Reiner and Bertolt are two very important characters with the revel of them being titans a major part of these three volumes and for the series. By far I would say Reiner is the most interesting of the two even though the colossal titan is far more iconic. Reiner plays a bit role within the story and have strong connections with Eren as the series go on. He also sticks out a bit more in the volumes leading up to the reveal with his mental split making him one of the more interesting characters. Bertolt is a little bit quieter making him a little less notable, however he stands out a bit more in other volumes.

Ymir: One of the more interesting characters and one I feel the series did not handle well. She dies off screen and her time is even shorter within the Manga. Within the anime we get her backstory about how she became a titan. However, she does not get this within the manga, a real shame. Her time with Kirsta/ Historia is the best part, however.

ALL OF THE TWISTS AND TURNS!!!! One of the most consistent mangas I’ve ever read. Can’t wait to see how all of the reveals from this collection feed into the rest of the series and the world that’s getting peeled back layer by layer with each volume.

I read this in one sitting, faster than any of the 3 before it! I’m hooked. This omnibus just began to scratch the surface of what is going on with humanity and the Titans. Just enough to keep my wheels spinning. Welp. Looks like it’s back the the bookstore for #5!

these 12 volumes have been an absolute shitshow

[Siena Brand · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reindeer and Bluetooth being the colossal and armoured titans WTF, came out of absolutely no where did not expect that whatsoever.

Hannes’ death 😭 he was a really sweet side character I’m so sad to see him go. FREE HIM

‘possessing the coordinate’ means you can turn titans on one another? - this scene was unclear in the manga, I can’t tell if he split off into another person and attacked the titan who killed his mum, or if that was another free reign titan lunging into him, but I’m too scared to search it up for confirmation and come across spoilers 🥲 so I guess I’m gonna have to wait for the show on that one unless it’s explained in the next volume.

The fight scenes in this omnibus have been the best so far though. So cool.
LOVING THIS SERIES!

[Timy K · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume has THAT scene, the infamous plot twist that shook so many people, not because of shock factor but the way it was delivered. A lot of things were really good in this volume, from the pacing, to the really improved arc, to the characters etc.

An interesting thing I noticed is that a lot of the scenes (some were drawn amazingly) from the manga were exactly adapted in the anime, like beat to beat. The credit completely goes to Isayama for coming up with all the tense action and some of the best visuals, so thank you for this phenomenal volume

I really liked this book. It had a lot of OMG parts!!!!!! It had some plot twists in it so have an eye out. Hate 2 people in this book if you want to know who it is then you just have to read it. It gets my heart pumping, but still don't know were Eran's dad is. Mikasa is a little more violent at the end of the book, you might get mad I know that I did. I highly recommend this book if you love action and excitement. This is definitely one of my favorite books I have read in this series although the first one was pretty awesome as well.

Book: Attack on Titan Omnibus: Vol. 4
Author: Hajime Isayama
Rating: 5 Out of 5 Stars

Is this still as good the second time around as the first? Why, yes, it is! Now, that I know what is going to happen, little details that didn’t make sense the first time around are very clear. If you are someone who has read this series before, go back through it again. I think you will see just how amazingly well plotted and well thought out are. It makes we super excited whenever I find something that it going to be very important early on.

I am going to try to keep my review as vague as possible, but there may still be some spoilers for earlier volumes.

This one picks right up where the last one left off and things are moving quickly. I had forgotten how quickly things move in this arc. Our main characters are at battle with the titans, one that they fear will decide the fate of humanity. Yet, things are a bit more complex than they thought. People can turn into titans and titans can turn into people. This changes how they have look at things. It also changes who they can trust and who they cannot. The idea of not knowing who to trust and who is who they really say they are only adds to the theme of fear and isolation. If our characters can come together, then they have a better chance of surviving the mission. However, by playing into the idea of fear and isolation, then they really do not have a chance. This is why I keep coming back to this series-well, one of the reasons. We have this very deep theme of not knowing the who, how, and why. Yet, everyone keeps on fighting for the hope of one day having a better world.


All of these themes make the bonds of friendship and found family that much more impactful. These people are up against monsters whose only goal in life is to eat humans. This has them backed into a small corner, forcing them to rely on each other. They have formed a family whose bonds may run just a little bit deeper than blood. They all need each other in order to survive. This makes every betrayal hurt that much even more. They have opened up to each other, bared their souls, only to have everything torn away from them. This is what makes this series so strong and so good. The author has taken the time to build up these relationships and bonds. It leaves a punch whenever things go wrong and, trust me, things do go wrong.

Overall, I am very still having such a great time going through this series.

[PJ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Attack on Titan Omnibus 4 (Volumes 10-12) is an intense and emotional turning point in the series. It kicks off with the desperate battle at Utgard Castle, where the Titans’ nighttime attacks turn the sanctuary into a slaughterhouse. The stakes are high, the action relentless, and the twists shocking—especially when Reiner’s true identity is revealed. Yup, he’s a Titan, and not just any Titan—he’s responsible for Eren’s mom’s death. This revelation adds layers of complexity to his character, leaving readers questioning his sanity, regret, and motives.

The emotional weight of this volume is huge, especially with Eren and Mikasa’s heartfelt moments amidst the chaos. Ymir and Christa also get the spotlight, bringing depth to their bond. Hajime Isayama’s art shines in the eerie designs of the Titans, though the combat scenes can feel a bit repetitive at times. Still, the storytelling ramps up with game-changing revelations and character development that leaves you craving the next installment.

Overall, it’s a thrilling mix of suspense, heartbreak, and action, with big plot twists and emotional punches. Definitely a must-read for fans of the series!

It's so weird reading this knowing the reasons behind everything.

I have some questions about the Attack Titan, but I think I'm still 6-9 volumes away from those maybe being answered. They may also never be answered, and if they aren't it's a plot hole much later in the series that shouldn't exist. So I'm asking them here while I have them on my mind! Can Titan shifters die and their power be passed on without them being eaten? Like will their power go to a random person?

[Emaliyah Stierwalt · Rating 5 out of 5]

I absolutely enjoyed this book I was squealing like a bird wanting food, I did like the plot twist in the end of the book. where not saying who joins not saying who's team. I would recommend this book because the author is just really amazing at manga I cant wait to read the next book in the series.

[Mikael Cerbing · Rating 3 out of 5]

Continues to throw in twists and turns. And it seems quite clear that mr Isayama has a clear idea of how his world fits together. And he feeds us a little piece at the time.
But it is a little long-winded for me. It could have been shortend down a bit. On the other hand, it also goes really fast to read. So I will continue on to the end. Im dedicated now.

[Bruno Román · Rating 5 out of 5]

We all know what happens in this volume.
One of the best written plot twists in the history of manga and anime.
Every time I watch or read Reiner and Bertholt’s betrayal I feel literal chills coming up my back.
The rest of the volumes are up to level, too, as is the art.
