  We shouldn't have this flashback now. It should've been introduced before. We already know the results, it's not fun nor exciting anymore to read about their training. After all the action we are back to point zero. Nope. It doesn't work this way.

  Guess who showed up.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  Technically Levi was only in it for a handful of pages. But still, HE'S HERE.
  
  Ummmmmm, so yeah. This was a good volume for developing many supporting characters, and I like that a lot of the focus is on Jean. He's a great foil for Eren, and his inner struggle between safety and heroism is interesting. The sudden switch from the present storyline to the past was very abrupt, and I like that the anime handled it more smoothly by keeping the timeline linear. You see the cadets training before they graduate and encounter new threats. I think the switching did work for the scene between Jean and Marco, though.
  
  Now that we have that out of the way, I just want to slam gifs of Levi down.

  Meterme la formación de los personajes como soldados luego de haberme construido todo un escenario intrigante y lleno de acción... Mmmmm pues a lo mejor me ha bajado un poco el hype este tomo.
  
  Aunque bien te lo perdono por incluir a Sasha, me cae muy bien la chica. Y esa parte final también deja con más ganas.

  This was a good one, but it didn't have as much action. While it did wrap up the arc of Volumes 1-3, Volume 4 was more about the past, and storytelling, with the majority focusing on character building and background stories. The entirety of the middle chapters was a flashback to the years of training that the main characters went through. I found it very interesting, if not overly exciting. The author did it perfectly though by giving us a fully realized action arc to get us invested before delving in to all the technical aspects of the world he created. Well done sir! On to Volume 5!

  Another great volume in the Attack on Titan series. There’s so many iconic and memorable scenes in this one. I loved the amount of fun Sasha scenes in this volume and I can’t wait to read the next one.

  “When we're born. . . All of us. . . Are free. People who reject that, no matter how strong they are. . . Don't matter.”
  
  Astounding!
  
  P.s: Sasha is my spirit animal.

  Love the new component of half titan/half human. That is so fascinating.
  
  But y'all gotta stop with these action sequences. It's impossible to follow along. If you're going to have humans fighting giants, I need to see how they won. Cause I'm not just gonna believe you. I need to see where they hit and how hard they hit. Don't just put a swoosh of lines across the page and then have the opponent on the ground. That's lazy.
  
  I have heard from some coworkers that they stopped reading the manga because of that and instead picked up the anime, which they say is superb.

  These are so good!!!!! The flashback to their training and the way it transitioned back was so well done! I only wish Mikasa was the one who can transform.

  Most of this volume is told with flashbacks and I don't mind that at all. I like learning more about the characters instead of just battle after battle.
  
  But omg, titan puke?! 😧🤢

  I think this might be my favorite vol. so far. I really enjoyed the flashbacks of them training, and I laughed out loud several times reading this.
  
  Moving on to vol. 5.

  Nos enseñan como fue la formación de los protagonistas en soldados.<\spoiler>
  Sigue muy interesante.

  A nice change of pace in the series and somewhat less carnage and more backstory in this volume
  What are you wiping off, anyway?
  My faith in humanity.
  
  Love Sasha - a.k.a. potato girl who is always hungry
  
  School flashback adds some needed fun and relative lightness to the story, and good to see Eren is not good in everything. Also the relationship with Armin is nicely done, making him feel less bolted on to the Mikasa - Eren duo.

  Interesante ver como se entrenan y también ver como en una acción real la mayoría falla jajaja me parece bastante realista. Eren va a necesitar como 20 terapias intensivas. Y shipeo a Mikasa con Eren.

  I do love a good prequel!
  
  This one reflects on some of the training our favourite duo and their friends did, and is a great little character development arc. It allows us to know more of the team and understand their personalities a little better.
  
  It also links really well into the present situation and helps us feel a little more for the lives being lost to these titans.
  
  Less action I suppose but a really good volume for character building.

  This volume has a lot more character building in the form of training flashbacks, and emotional import for some of the horrific deaths of these poor clueless fighters... and I loved it. I don't usually care for flashbacks, but anything that draws me into a story is gonna be good.
  
  The best part of the manga is just trying to figure out what the hell is going on in the broader sense, and we are inching forward, slowly and surely. I love these guys.
  
  Onward to the Scouts!

  Probably the least exciting so far, but it was necessary for the character development and helping establish a few characters. Onto the next!

  The positives? Meeting Sasha and ever so briefly, Levi. The negatives? It chronologically confused me a bit. I get that it was a flashback, but I still left confused. Whether that was the manga's delivery or the fact that I read the last one awhile ago, I can't say. One more chapter in this manga series down and onto #5 next. I want to read these before watching the series, so I have a few more to go, I believe before I can watch season one.

  One of my fav covers for the series😌
  I literally love this one because it’s all their training and you basically meet Jean’s character😩❤️

  LEVI!!!
  
  
  Also, Annie is actually a bit more approachable here in the manga than she was portrayed in the anime. It's almost like she has a sense of humour. I like it.

  Levi made an appearance at last.
  Flashbacks were a bit boring here. And I think military type of stories are not my thing.

  1. The flashbacks are everything. They're breaking my heart but I need them.
  
  2. Eren, you have trauma and all but you're a prick to everyone for no freaking reason.
  
  3. SASHA!
  
  4. Jean is born to be a leader.
  
  5. MARCO!
  
  6. Levi, talk dirty to me.

  The highlight of this volume was undoubtedly, the potato girl.

  Eren finally comes to his senses and uses a huge ass rock to seal the wall and stop the titans to get in. It’s a small victory for humanity.
  
  On the other hand, we see a bit of the soldiers’ past training and interaction when they just got in the army. Nobody has the same skills nor the abilities yet somehow, most of them are capable of becoming important soldiers.
  
  So far, Reiner seems an interesting character, as well as Annie. They surely know more than they let on. And of course, I root for Eren and Armin –Mikasa not so much ‘cause I really despise the fact that she’s attached to Eren and doesn’t even respect her own free will.
  
  I like that we got another glance at Levi and Erwin, the captain and commander respectively of the Survey Cops.

  Il quarto volume de L’attacco dei giganti è diverso dai precedenti.
  Nei primi tre l’autore si è concentrato sull’azione, sull’eterna battaglia tra umani e giganti, invece in questo c’è sostanzialmente un lungo flashback dove impariamo a conoscere meglio alcuni personaggi principali e soprattutto il loro percorso e i loro obiettivi.
  ⠀
  Devo dire che ho provato delle emozioni contrastanti. Il volume mi è sicuramente piaciuto molto, ma oscillavo tra il piacere di scoprire qualcosa in più su questi protagonisti, e il chiedermi perché questa attenzione su di loro non ci sia stata prima, e non nel bel mezzo dell’azione.
  ⠀
  Che poi, per carità, l’azione ormai era finita, però... capitemi 😂
  ⠀
  È un volume quasi di stasi, di transizione, che permette al lettore di tirare il fiato.
  Mmmh ok. Devo dire che finché scrivo a sangue freddo questo post mi sto autoconvincendo che non sia stata male come scelta. Sento di avere una personalità labile in questo momento 😂🙈
  ⠀
  Vabbè, l’importante è che anche questo volume mi sia piaciuto, chiudiamola qua 😂
