L'Attaque des Titans, Tome 30 by Hajime Isayama

4.0

Eren really is the character of all time. He does it all. He was my fave way back in 2012 when he was just a precocious little murder baby and he’s still my fave 11 years later. I just recently watched the anime in its entirety because I stopped when the first hiatus happened I think like..2013ish? So I decided to read some of the manga to have closure on the anime because as of writing, there’s no set date for the final episode.

First off I was SHOCKED how close MAPPA has kept to the manga. Very pleasantly surprised.

As for the actual plot. Bro. I can’t even articulate why it’s so good. The first 2/3 of the plot of Attack on Titan you’re just going “what the actual hell is happening here?” And then when you think you have it figured out, a volume like this one comes out. It just absolutely shatters all your expectations. It’s also been so cool to see how the artist has grown from volume 1 to 31. Major improvements.

Eren > everybody lmao he’s my favorite little war criminal. Seriously though he’s both the protagonist and the antagonist because of time travel shenanigans and is both a cause and effect of the horrors or war, bigotry, child soldiers…and messing around with time.
