This volume left me super excited to read the rest of the series. The way information is introduced gives you enough exposition without feeling like you're reading a textbook on the AoT world, and I'm already invested in the universe this manga takes place in. Beautiful manga, would only not recommend if you're extremely sensitive to unrealistic gore (i.e. giants eating people). The only reason it's not 5 stars is because I'm not the biggest fan of action scenes, but the story and character elements of the manga are still enjoyable if you don't like action.

this is my first manga/graphic novel i’ve ever read and since i’ve seen the first several episodes of the anime, i thoroughly enjoyed this!!!!! i loved how quickly things were moving & i love isayama’s art style a ton. i thought this was a really great start to the series with just enough information to hook you. i flew through this volume (i’m sure it’s because i’ve seen this part of the anime) but i am very very excited to read the next volume too. i’m giving this installment 4.5/5 stars

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

A fantastic start to the series! It was straight to the point and wasted no time getting to that point; as I had watched season 1 of the anime first, I found it quite fun to see what had changed from it, and it made me realise just how quick this was!
