Very mysterious 9th tale in Attack on Titan! A new Titan has been found; one that looks like a tall lanky gorilla. And not only that, it seems to be SUPER intelligent, speaking sentences as if it has been for perhaps, thousands of years! It also seems to be ordering other Titans around, and is clearly aware of the war between Titans and humans! It was last seen, climbing one of the walls! Will it speak to the humans there? Try and reason with everyone? I’m extremely intrigued and eager to learn more!
Also, a speculation or hypothesis has been made: the reason the humans discovered Titans embedded within the walls, was because they used their skin hardening powers to seal themselves within, and harden the walls up. Squad leader Zoe suspects that if the said rumors are true about another Wall being breached, when Eren transforms into a Titan next time, he could use his own hardening power to seal up the wall, instead of plugging it up with a large boulder. The mystery and suspense feels good! I’m excited to read the next book, number 10!

3 words: HOLY F***KING S**T! There's no way to describe how amazing this volume is. It was just too damn perfect! A lot of mysteries and questions arise in the story and still no answers. Isayama is such a genius when it comes to cliffhangers. This manga never disappoints....like lieteraly, NEVER! I hope we get to learn about the *spoiler alert* Beast Titan in the future volumes.

"Castle Utgard will be the scene of a fierce battle!"

Everyone go home, Ymir and Krista are my new faves ♥ I loved the Sasha backstory, the arrival of the new and unusual Titan, and all the night scenes. Dang it, now I have to request volume ten from my county library and wait for it to arrive so I can devour that like a Colossal Titan too :|
