In a cruel world full of fear and horror, the majority of the human race is devoured by a mysterious species like none other: an abnormal race of mindless giants called Titans. The sudden and unknown appearance of these creatures introduce the greatest challenge mankind has faced in the last century. The fortunate survivors retreat and resort to living humble, peaceful lives behind city walls; even if it means never seeing the outside world. In present time, Eren Yeager is a reckless young boy who dreams of venturing outside the walls and is overly determined to lead mankind to victory in this battle of survival.
Attack on Titan is a well-known horror and action manga series that was created by Hajime Isayama. Volume One quickly introduces the main theme and is extremely eye-catching even within its first few pages. The theme is not something that is completely unheard of, but it presents a new way of approaching it. The fantastical world itself is complex, telling a story with an origin that is both believable and entertaining.
I enjoyed how both the manga plot and illustrations were unique as well as enjoyable. Overall, the first impressions were positive. I would recommend this manga series to readers who are looking for a modern epic written with a twist of thriller and adventure.
