This is where the story starts getting really interesting for me. The "aberrants" and the Titans that are made up of humans lend a real interesting twist, but this female really seems to kick a lot of ass.

I also love the whole discussion of trusting your team versus your own intuition. There's definitely no strict answer here. Especially since I know what's in store, this becomes even more interesting in light of Erin's current choice.

A lot of hard-won lessons are going to get upset, sadly. *sigh*

“There's something I firmly believe in: the people who have the ability to change something in this world. All, without exception, have guts to abandon things important to them if they have to. They are those who even abandon their humanity if they're pressed hard to outdo monsters. People who can't throw away something important can never hope to change anything!”


I'm beyond addicted at this point.
Amazing!

El nivel de persecución y acción en este volumen ha sido muy alto. Una masacre en todas las letras. Por un lado, esos titanes excéntricos dan mucho cringe y las muertes hechas de manera selectiva por la titan hembra me han dejado pensando que la persona que se encuentra detrás es, con toda seguridad, alguien que ya conocemos. Porque sino, no me explico como pudo dejar vivo a Armin y no lo aplastó como una mísera cucaracha al igual que los demás.

So we've got the female titan out looking for Eren and just in general fucking things up. Why you gotta kill the horses? She seriously just chucks them.



Here's something I'd like to point out though. The art, as a whole, isn't really that great. I think Isayama does a great job portraying movement and tense, suspenseful action, but most of the time the art is pretty messy. There are moments though where I see potential for something more polished, like this:


But then just a couple of pages before that we got this:


It took me way too long to try to figure out what was going on in the top right panel.

The story is actually really entertaining now, but I just wish the quality of the art matched it.

Well that was quick! I feel like they kind of held back the action in last few volumes, but in this one, all hell broke lose. I don't think I'll be able to stop until I read every volume that's currently out.

On to the next one!

Very good and tense, this venture into Titan land. A gambit is up in the air to the very last, while Eren builds up new relationships
Now think. Use the modest intellect you do posses - Captain peak coolness Levi

There is a chase that makes this volume very exciting, nicely paced with Eren learning to trust the survey corps more.

Target is accelerating made me laugh, no you are the target and the hunter is accelerating towards you dear man. But Levi his plan is impressive. A good and tight volume, this one!

definitely the best volume so far. the character moments are super sweet and memorable and the action sequences are so hype. i didn't know that graphic novels could be this vivid, until i finally dipped my toes into some manga.

the female titan arc is one of my absolute favourites in the anime, and it's interesting to see it play out on a page with even more details making up the mystery.

say what you want about isayama's art style, but it is EXPRESSIVE. there are definitely a few issues with clarity, especially during the action sequences and it probably helps that i've watched the anime and know what to expect and who's who. i can see it being a little muddled otherwise. but i think the art really shines in emotional, character-heavy moments (which are usually my favourite parts!)

Espectacular, la irrupcion de la titan hembra los combates con le cuerpo expedicionario, lo inteligente que es, la estrategia de Erwin, el jefe expedicionario, y la trampa que le preparan.
Me ha gustado todo.
El final sacrificandose la titan hembra grandioso.

Another action packed adventure with a nicely done flash back. This volume was more about adapting to new situations, believing in each other and your squad leaders, and the art of tactical maneuvering. Levi really is a genius. We didn't really get any answers about the abnormal titan in this one, except one, so I'm on to read the next volume. Cheers!

I wish Goodreads would let us give half stars because this is definitely more of a 4.5 than a 4 star read. This volume was really fast paced and intense. It was filled with great character development and action. I love the setting of the titan forest and I can't wait to spend more time in the titan forest in the next volume.

Wow I am officially invested in figuring out what the deal is with the titans!

Also, I want more Hange experiments! FOR SCIENCE!

Lots of fun in this volume - a good blend of action, story progression, character development, and good, old-fashioned blood and guts.

ONWARD!

A much shorter volume, yet it was one of the most interesting ones yet. The introduction of a new type of titan and the mystery around its purpose made for an intriguing and gore-filled run, but the artwork is still pretty amateur most of the time. There was also a huge focus on trust, both in one's self and in one's team. I still find that there's too much spelled out for the reader in the character's thoughts, but I'm just going to go on with this series thinking that it's the author's style.

Yours truly,

Intense... with anime soundtracks twice more intense!
It is nice to see Eren becoming more mature and calm. Maybe thanks to Levi?
I wish I hadn't spoiled myself with the female titan. I know who she is, but still I wonder how she became a titan.
I love characters more and more now. I even liked Jean! He has become a nice guy even though he still express his feelings openly. I think I like that character of his.
By the way, I like the art now as well. It is nice to see that authors develop their artstyles with more practice.

Story
Big questions from this one, and if I hadn't been hooked on it before, I certainly would now. Questions introduced in this volume are a large part of why I had to jump into the manga after the anime ended.

It's really transitioned from a monster/survival story to something much deeper at this point.

Artwork
I'm going to be redundant and say while it's improving with each volume it still doesn't hold up as well as anime.

Jean's personality finally coming to light!

Can't wait for Eren to figure out his power. It's fun reading this already knowing what will happen so I can see the more subtle clues.

He's a true monster,
its got nothing to do with his titan power .
No matter how much he's held back....
No matter what cage he's in...
No one can force him ...
To submit.

I would like to apologize to my wallet in advance for the colossal damage I'll be making when buying all of the manga!

Continuando con la historia, en esta parte seguimos con la aparición d els titán hembra, la cual se nota que anda buscando a Eren y va causando muerte y destrucción a su paso, la formación se dirige al bosque pero la Titán hembra va tras ellos.

No se pierde interés en la historia, todo se va poniendo muy emocionante y hay varios detalles que dejé pasar en el animé y que ahora entiendo mejor y se acerca cada vez más.

Those bastards went through all of that to capture the female titan! I didn't realize this when I was watching the anime. Oof, the pains they go through at the hands of titans.

5⭐️ Review:

Levi: “I don’t know the answer. I never have. Whether you trust in your own strength…or trust in the choices made by reliable comrades. No one knows what the outcome will be. So, as much as you can…choose whatever you’ll regret the least.”

This volume was so intense from beginning to end. But, it also had funny moments, mainly all from Levi. How can anyone not love him?

My favorite quotes from this volume:

-Reiner: “I saw the flare indicating an abnormal…was that it? The one with the nice ass?”

-Levi: “I know he’s a true monster. It’s got nothing to do with his titan power. No matter how much he’s held back…no matter what cage he’s in…no one can force him…to submit.”

-Levi: “Then we would cut off your hands and feet…they’d grow back anyway, like a lopped-off lizard’s tail. Right? Disgusting…” (This one made me laugh, his facial expression was too good.)

-Levi: “…Took that four-eyed annoyance long enough…”

-Levi: “What, were you taking a long shit?”
Hange: “No, that went smoothly…”

And lastly:

-Levi: “I just hope whoever it is hasn’t pissed themselves.”

Levi is truly the comedic relief of this volume.
