Attack on Titan: Colossal Edition 5 by Hajime Isayama

5.0

After being a strict anime-only of this show for almost 7 years, I decided to finally pick up the manga and finish the story before I was spoiled for the ending online once the last chapter came out. It was delightful to watch the art get better over time, see characters I love on the screen be even more improved in the manga, and watch this seemingly simple story spiral into one of the most intricately plotted and complex stories I have ever experienced. While I still am more of an anime gal than a manga gal, I am so glad to have read the manga and gotten all the story beats in context rather than spoiled online. Isayama's ability to trickle information until it all comes full circle in these incredible reveal moments is astounding and there are multiple points throughout the series that I'll always remember how I felt when it first "clicked" what was going on. 10/10, one of my favorite stories of all time!
