Shingeki no Kyojin review

Story: 10
At first you could imagine the story is pretty generic, wow Eren is going to be super broken and eventually save the world, get a girl blah blah. Sure it looks like that in the beginning, but no it builds on and on as it progresses. However, I can understand why this isn't just some overrated manga, I find myself enjoying it more and more, seeing all the conflict and how it all unfolds and connect with each other really well. I thought the story was getting a bit stale around chapter 90, but nope I was wrong. While it did take until 100 or so to get more into the action, I could see why it was worth using up all that time to slowly build up background information. Now, everything is starting to slowly tie in together, there is so much hype and you just want the months to fly bye so you can just read through all the chapters and enjoy it. Do note that the story at times can take pretty long to get into the action and such, so it may be pretty boring from time to time reading.

Art: 7
I wouldn't say the art is necessarily the best at the start, but it does improve as the story progresses and the general style is still kept. The art isn't something Violet Evergarden level of course, but you can deal with it, it's good enough and doesn't confuse anyone at all.

Character: 9
TEN FOR SURE. At first, I thought I'm with the main characters all the way, but nope. Even for some of the baddies, I'm feeling bad for them and what they have to do, they're perfectly sculpted and fit well in to the story. Yes there are some unneeded characters + some character development does take awfully long, but it is still something I consider definitely worth a 10. The thing I dislike is probably that it definitely takes a while to get to the side characters. Some of them we barely learn about them while they're pretty important, so it's a shame. That is why I decided with a 9/10.

Enjoyment: 9
The only things bringing it down to 9 are basically the flaws of what I've mentioned, some things aren't described properly, some pretty major characters are not really expanded upon. While it is good for me to be creative and imagine, there were moments where I was left confused, especially at places where everything just started to pour in.


Overall, a really enjoyable manga if you have the commitment, but I'd recommend waiting for the end or near the end to read through it. It's a huge pain waiting each month, often killing my hype and adding on to the confusion or sense of something lacking in the manga. Regardless, it is still an awesome manga which isn't just some human vs big titan action, it has so much more merit to it than just that. The story drags you further into the action and it's really great.
