Attack on Titan Volume 22, by Hajime Isayama

This volume continues on from the previous volume where Eren and his friends were thrown in jail. The volume starts with a memory of Grisha Jaeger, Eren's father. The Eldians, who the world views as evil traitors of Marley are brought to the "Island of Paradise" to be turned into titans. One by one, the Eldians are being turned into titans. The story continues to show the cruelty of the Marleyan people towards the Eldians. When the line of people reaches Grisha, he is saved by "The Owl" who is a special titan. He then gives this power to Grisha and the story is brought back to the present where Eren is trapped in a cell. Eren along with the scouts are then brought out to receive a special medal from the Queen for their bravery in the battle for Shiganshina

I really enjoyed this volume of Attack on Titan, by Hajime Isayama. This volume was not that action packed as some of the other volumes, but it makes sense since the last volume contained the biggest battle scene so far. It made me feel even more excited as for what's to come because a lot of lore was revealed in this volume. For those who have read the manga or watched the anime, this is a must-read because it transitions the story into the next section. As a whole series, I would recommend this to anyone who likes a mysterious yet action-filled story.
