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 ShiganshinaI 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.
