Volume 12 delivers a fittingly climactic ending to the long, terrible, terrifying string of events that has just pounded our heroes non-stop since the defeat of the Female Titan. We get lots of good character development, especially of our two "traitors" and small peeks at what they're dealing with (though there's obviously a lot more we don't know yet). There's a very telling moment toward the end where we can see Armin continuing on his dark path, and more beautiful moments for Ymir and Christa as well as a heartfelt speech from Mikasa (I think she speaks more during those few pages than she has in the rest of the series combined? XD).And what a great volume for Erwin! Especially in those last few chapters, the epic Commander Smith shows us just how darn metal he is, both fighting-wise and otherwise. No spoilers, but... when he was shouting, "EREN IS RIGHT BEFORE YOU! FORWARD!!!" I was just like... OMG WHO IS THIS EPIC MAN IS HE GOD?! XDDD Also, with his loyal Levi sidelined, Erwin gets in on the action a bit more and you can see why his "strength" rating in the character guide is just one notch under Levi's. ^^All that, plus a crazy twist at the end of the volume... Seriously, what a doozy this volume is! This is AoT at its best--a must-buy for all fans! XDDD
Just arrived this morning (one of the perks of living so close to the HQ lol) and it'll join the other 11 issues on the shelf. This was the volume that I was looking forward to because it contains two of my favorite chapters, 48 & 49.Can't wait for 13 now ^_^
Emphasis in this volume was on action: Lot's of fighting and non-conventional tactics from the Survey Corp. We get a few more morsels of information on the bigger picture. The "Krista" and Ymir relationship develops further as Ymir plays a central role.
Since I'm an Eremika shipper, this is my favorite volume since it has chapter 50. The action, drama and suspense of Mikasa's ribs getting fractured, Hans being killed, Eren learning a new power, and the titan who killed his mother reappearing all made this volume PERFECT! GREAT price! Bought brand new for only ten dollars total, including shipping! Best Christmas present!
This volume was great. It was very exciting and action packed. Erwin leads a desperate rescue mission to save Eren from Reiner and Bertolt. It hints at, without fully explaining, more of the relationships among Reiner, Bertolt, Ymir, and Krista, as well as Annie, still stuck underground in a crystal. It raises the stakes, with Erwin dramatically declaring that they must save Eren or all is lost. Erwin shows his incredible tactical and leadership abilities even further; he is a leader not afraid to get directly involved in the fighting, even if it means risking his life. Armin shows that, while not the most adept fighter, he is a natural at psychological warfare. Mikasa does what she does best. And even Eren manages to look cool, for a change. Lives are lost, sacrifices are made, and emotions are laid bare. Can't wait for the next installment.
Was tired of waiting for the anime... Read ahead for a bit using other less-than-stellar online archiving sites (MangaStream has spoiled me; nothing else cuts it for me) before deciding to switch to the offline comfort of my iPad.Artwork may not be as good and the riveting and suspenseful scenes the anime would have put out will lose their shock value, but I regret nothing. Great story. Fantastic, really. That's all you really need at the end of the day. The delivery may be different, but the message is still the same.
Hands down one of the best volumes but I say that every time a new one comes out. It really is amazing. It has a lot of emotions and I knew there was going to be romance in this series. Sorry I like romance mixed in with my action/adventure. Anyways, great volume worth the price.
Great, really had me going there, just great overall, bought a pack since 8 cause i had finished the anime and wanted more, this just has all elements that you would want from a story, sad, exciting, characters are well develop and you feel for them, and even more mystery and that adds more build up :D. Can't wait until ch 58 reaches this, in 14 :D!
