This was actually quite interesting. I've watched Shingeki no Kyojin and this is the first manga I have read of it... Think I'l have to get the others to the prequel series!

Me gustó aunque es un poco lento, ya había leído una versión en linea pero no me acordaba que fuese tan lento

I watched the first few episodes on nextflix but it’s not in English so I opted to go with the manga to check it out the manga are farther than the anime. Attack on Titan: Before the Fall is the prequel of Attack on Titan. It’s set before wall Maria was breached and before they knew how to fight the titans. The story revolves around a boy that was born after his mother was regurgitated and the girl he befriended.

In the first installment starts 70 years in the past. The titan’s while feared even have worshipers one of those has recently joined the ranks happens to be the widow of one of the survey corps. When a titan is let into the city it feasts on humans only to be lured out of the city by where it regurgitates all the humans it’s eaten. None of them have been digested and the body of the widow’s child is alive. That child is named the Titan child locked up his whole life.

It’s been a while since I dove back into the world of the Titans but decided it was time to read about what happened before Attack on Titan. It’s interesting to see what happened 70 years in the past, and I’m curious to see how we will evolve to fight the titans. The art is entertaining it works well with the story. I really enjoy that each installment is a mix of story and action giving just enough to keep you wanting more. I’m already captivated by the two characters Sharle and Kuklo who escaped with their lives. I quickly fell in love with the prequel just like I did Attack on Titans. I can’t wait to see how it will progress and learn more about the characters in this series.

Interesting prequel to the main series so far. We’ve got the usual brutality, cruelty, and all around callous disregard for human suffering Attack on Titan is well known for, with a more interpersonal focus thus far. I’m curious to see how this story will connect to the main series and if it will address some more of the societal infrastructure of this insular world.
