Attack on Titan Volume 28, by Hajime Isayama

This volume is also a continued flashback from the two previous volumes. It also serves to develop two recently added characters, Gabi and Falco. These two undoubtedly represent younger versions of Eren, Armin, and Mikasa who are both naive, angry kids. Zeke's plans, including the one from years before on Ragako Village, are all revealed. There is also a ton of irony surrounding Gabi and Flaco as they escape their cells and end up being fostered by Sasha's parents. There are also good action scenes once again by Levi and Zeke as they provide a battle scene in the otherwise calm flashback chapters within the last few volumes.

I really enjoyed Attack on Titan Volume 28, by Hajime Isayama, lot. Seeing a lot of my questions about the series answered is always a good feeling and Isayama does a great job of keeping readers hooked. I really liked the continuing character development of Gabi and Falco. Especially when there is so much suspense surrounding them and Sasha's family. This volume really made me think about Eren, Mikasa, and even real children and how they think compared to how older people think. For example, Eren saw his mother get eaten by a titan and wanted to wipe out and destroy everything titan in his path. The same thing happens to Gabi and Falco seeing Eren attack their home city. It really made me think about how naïve children are and how influenced they are by the things around them. I definitely recommend this volume to anyone who enjoys mysterious mangas.
