Ahh, where do i begin? This mana was something I decided reading after finishing the anime, which i can say was a great experience. So without further ado, let's make it as simple as possible without giving too many spoilers.

Story: 9
Yes, we all know the cliche story of humanity in peril and the giant monsters that are responsible for it. However, there are little manga's that are actually sticking to the fact that humanity still dod not defeat those monsters. True, the show did give us the "Hero that has a power that came from those monsters to kill them". But they are doing it good and most important of all they have the balls to actually kill main characters at ANY moment. i won't tell you when, but let's say that the show is one of the only i am current;y reading that still have the guts to kill the main hero/es at any moment without any warning or any way to "fix it at the last moment due to 'plot device'".

Characters: 9
In my opinion the strongest part of the manga. The characters in the show are extremely complicated. For those of you who's read the "Clash of the Titans" arc, you probably know whose the main villain of the arc and while their motives are still unclear to us, we know that they didn't do that out of simple villainy. They do feel remorse. And they are not so easy to hate even after revealing their true nature. They did it because they had to. That revelation made it cleat to me that moral in the show is not something as simple as good and bad. The sense of morality in the show is even become more unbalanced in the following arc, I won't tell you what happens but ill tell you this, that arc gave us new information that made it clear that no character in the show that is purely good, or at least not in the eyes of all characters, and the plot forces them to do things that shake the reality they are used to like it was nothing. in my opinion every main character, and some of the side characters, are extremely important to feel the show moving and they are doing a great job of making you wonder which side truly is right and which is wrong.

Art: 8

While it isn't on berserk level, the art in this show is still something i enjoy very much, except when you look at the difference between the anime design and the manga design, but all in all the art is really nice, with some shots looking really amazing and some making you really feel like you can just see anything there, plus the titans are amazingly drawn, each in a different way, making you see that there are no two titans that look the same.


Enjoyment: 8
The only reason i don't place it on a higher rank is the simple fact tat every chapter comes only once per month, making it hard to keep the hype between every chapter and trying to remember what happened last time. however, that manga and the plot are too good for me to just let this make the better judgement for me. The show it great and the manga is even better, even if the anime added one part for the managa that wasn't there (see episode 25 of the anime and manga chapter 34 for the difference). But all in all i really enjoyed the show thus far and Im sure Im going to keep enjoying it.

Overall rating: 9
This manga is one of the best manga's out there at the time, it is bold, courageous and doesn't afraid to kill any character at any moment and give plenty of development and explanations that keep everything clear or making you question the morality of the manga at any moment. It is these features that made me like this manga so much and i know that those if you whose looking for good manga (even if released slowly), this is the manga for you.

I hope you enjoyed or found this review helpful and please don't fear to send me your thoughts or responses and ill answer them as good as I can.
