Attack on Titan volume 1 by Hajime Isayama is a horror/action manga about giant titans that want to eat everyone. This is my second time reading this manga, the first time I read this was back in 2010 when it was first published. Having read this a second time, I can really appreciate the electric start to this story. 

The main characters, Eren, Mikasa, and Armin live in a town that is walled off from the titans that are dangerous. The manga starts off with the three characters as pre teens and they're having a discussion about the wall to their town being breached.
Right as they say that, a giant titan comes and busts the wall down. The three survive but the end up becoming personnel for the military five years later.
The manga ends on a cliff hanger, like most of the Attack on Titan mangas do. It doesn't bother me now, in the year 2023 because the series is finally complete. When the second volume wasn't available, I was a little pressed. 

Overall this was interesting and there are a lot of questions that I have and I'm excited for them to finally get answered. I'm giving this volume 5 stars out of 5.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5/5 Stars

I read this for free on libbyapp.com

I read this as a teen and while I don't think I'd enjoy it today, I still think it's super neat. The anime was cool, though I didn't finish it. It has a really interesting world that unfolds slowly, mingled with (I've heard) critiques of fascism and dictatorship, so if those parts of the world bother you, the latter part of the story unpacks it more. But it takea a while to get there.
