More spoofs on Titans. The second volume and full of fun and hilarious moments.
So, 5 years after I read the first one I am reading the second one. I believe I bought this one for my hubby some years ago (a bit after I got the first one). I still haven’t watched or read AOT, well, I did try, but the gore levels were just too high for current me. Haha, I am sure if I watch this show when I could watch gore without almost puking immediately I would have loved it.
But I do love the franchise, the characters. My husband loves the show and thanks to him and these more funny books in the franchise I know about several things. Oh and also spoilers online because people on Twitter love doing that.
In this one plenty of hilarious situations, it is as if the titans are not even there for most of the book (though Hange tried to get Armin to confess his favourite type, yes really). We see lots of fun scenes, like when Connie decides to draw a moustache on his face and Eren (of course Eren) also participates. Or the Momotaro fantasy story with a few new twists at the beginning. There are also ghosts, we are going back to school (Kyyaaaa Levi-sensei), a new mission and I laughed seeing Armin as Historia, there is farming, booze (some of these guys shouldn’t drink so much), chairs, and so much more. I had tons of fun reading it and it brought a big smile to my face.
Best quote; “Are we potatoes? No, we are the planters.”
There were only a few moments that had me wishing I could watch the show. The part in which Mikasa is recovering from a broken rib and Levi from a leg injury for instance. I had no clue what happened, but I am guessing something big happened in the show or original manga. It was still fun to read and see Mikasa make rabbit apples, but I think I would have appreciated this, and a couple of others more if I had seen the show/read the manga.
The art was just great and I like the style. It fits very well with the AOT franchise.
All in all, I am kind of hoping for more funny AOT manga or even anime! I think I have checked them all out now so I am in for something new. And I would recommend this book to all, but make sure you have at least some knowledge of the show/manga.

Some of the jokes and humor were a bit stale, but its defintely refreshing to see these characters away from all the blood and death for a change. also really loved the art style. recommended to read if you're a big fan and right after finishing the original series to soften the blow.

that ending was NOT necessary??! :( pls my heart!??!?! i miss them so much IT IS NOT EVEN FUNNY. someone PLEASE delete at least the last ten volumes of the actual manga so i can forget about the never ending pain :( they all deserved so much happiness :( ughhhhhhhh
al igual que el primer tomo de esta serie chiquita, casi todas las tiras están situadas dentro del contexto y situaciones de la historia real, salvo por unos cuantos AUs. realmente me entretuvo y divirtió mucho, probablemente lo relea este año porque nada me quita el vacío que me dejó hajime isayama :(

La serie de absurdas situaciones continúa y, la verdad, es que encajarían perfectamente dentro del manga.
Siguendo con el humor característico del primer volumen, en este tomo se centran en explorar las relaciones entre los personajes ya con la trama del manga bastante avanzada. También me gusta mucho que se les haya dado a personajes como Bertolt y Reiner más espacio para desarrollarse (al pobre Bertolt siempre lo dejan de lado...).

Spin off of Attack on Titan, this could’ve been good but the style of 4-Koma manga is annoying 😂

I feel like this volume was far more funny. The jokes hit about 80% of the time and also, I still liked the mini stories even when they weren't funny. I wish we could see this animated!

Cute and funny, but a little too juvenile for much.

Have you ever wondered what Attack on Titan would be like if it were a slice of life? Well this little mini series is exactly that. I will admit that it is quite a cute and lighthearted read, which is a pretty big change of pace compared to the main series, and seeing all the characters happy is fun and endearing but (and this is a big but) it’s drawn out and a lot of the jokes didn’t land for me. I have the same criticism for this final second volume and I did with the first. It’s a more cohesive than the previous but it doesn’t really add anything to series. The second volume is an improvement on the first and as a little read on the side of Attack on Titan, Spoof on Titan is a nice break from the serious topics and tense atmosphere of the main manga, but it’s definitely not something that’s needed. If I didn’t get it as part of a bundle I wouldn’t have read it. While reading it was perfectly fine, but if someone were to ask me in a few month time about it, I definitely would not remember.
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

I'm bummed there was only two volumes of Spoof on Titan because I enjoyed them. The artwork is cute and the little spoof stories are fun.
