Attack on titan manga 107
On the other hand, it seemed like Elen simply "took over" the body of a giant and it transformed into what was his giant persona, let's call. Plus, it somehow manages to disappear at will, which would fit, since I guess it'd be easy to "hide" considering the walls are so high. None of the other giants seem to display any sort of intelligence among them, but that one is clearly on a different level. She seems to have taken his words about "survival of the fittest" very seriously, as seen in that scene where she's preparing to go save the other guys.Īlso, as for the red giant, the whole Elen-becomes-a-giant thing made me wonder whether or not he's also human. On the other hand, it might also not be fueled by romantic feelings, and more of a feeling of gratitude for what he did, showing her a way (or the way) she should live. I agree that it doesn't seem like there's enough evidence to support any sort of romantical pairing, although they really aren't blood related and she definitely cares for him a lot. Looking forward to reading some people's impressions in order for us to setup some discussions about it in the future! It might be a bit gore-y at times, but it's definitly something that adds up to the experience. If you're a fan of shounen action manga which don't focus on the whole "powerlevel" progression method, this should be right up your alley. That said, anyone reading it? Did it pick your interest? If so, then check it out, by all means. Tough luck for Jump, I suppose? Then again if it isn't what they're used to publishing there's no helping it, hah. Since he didn't feel like it, he took it to Magazine and that's where it's been running ever since, Bessatsu Shounen Magazine. Funnily enough, the mangaka first took this to JUMP in order to get serialized, but he was told that the manga wasn't in line with the stuff JUMP usually published and was told to changed it around. The title seems to be getting quite popular, and the fact it managed to get 7th place on "Manga Taisho" and actually winning "Kono Manga ga Sugoi!" in 2011. Always looking forward and fighting with her own hands in order to assure a future to those who are precious to her and herself. There's a clear lack of badass women right now, in particular those who just never really take the time to be whiny and sulk over the terrible things that have happened to her.
In particular Mikasa, who's the star of the show. Still, it's a minor nitpick, because the story so far's proving to be interesting, and the main characters are quite well written. The weakest point so far has been the art, it's got a somewhat rough style that fits the giants very well since they are supposed to be ugly creatures that just vaguely resemble humans, but when applied to the actual humans it doesn't work as well as one would expect.
Well thought out, and explained in detail to the reader in order for them to figure out exactly what sort of stunts the characters can (and will) pull off. The action is also pretty good, it's got a nice flow to it, and the machines they use to combat the giants are actually quite neat. It's a shounen action manga, but it sets itself apart because of its unique setting and the overall more explicit approach to violence. Read the nine avaible scanlated chapters and I'm really liking it. Elen vows that he will murder every single giant and take revenge for all of mankind.Ī friend recommended this to me a few days ago and upon checking it had gotten 7th place in Manga Taisho, I finally decided to give it a go. As the smaller giants flood the city, the two kids watch in horror as their mother is eaten alive. Teenage boy Elen and his foster sister Mikasa witness something horrific as the city walls are destroyed by a super giant that appears out of thin air. A small percentage of humanity survived by walling themselves in a city protected by extremely high walls, even taller than the biggest of giants.įlash forward to the present and the city has not seen a giant in over 100 years.
Giants are typically several stories tall, seem to have no intelligence, devour human beings and, worst of all, seem to do it for the pleasure rather than as a food source. Several hundred years ago, humans were nearly exterminated by giants.
