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.

First manga ever, I hope this goes well. I'm loving it so far but I don't understand why people hate the art style so much :/

aight back here after finishing the series

Okay so I'd heard the name "Eren Yeager" and "Eren Kruger" thrown around for a good while. And so when I saw one of those names here I assumed he's gonna be the main character. Boy, oh, boy, imagine my confusion when he died in the first volume 💀

Looking back, this is such a good way to start the series. Really made me wanna keep picking up the next instalments. So many fond memories associated with AOT. Never thought I would get emotionally attached to something like this but here we are :")

I have all 34 volumes. I loved this series. Top freaking favorite manga. Eren has my freaking heart. This was exactly my cup of tea.

The tags I listed definitely sound scary, the series does contain everything I listed, not all in the first book, I just am too lazy to rate each of the 34 books so I marked it on the first book of the series. This series is brutal though, not for the weak minded, it’s amazing though, good luck.

An intense introduction to modern iconic characters and a thrilling beginning to this violent mystery of how will humanity survive the Titans.
The art style is a bit distracting — the characters’ bodies are not proportionate, their facial expressions sometimes not matching the implied tone, and the perspective being a bit off. But it does not ruin the experience of this story.
