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.
