Attack on Titan: Volume 12

Attack on Titan Vol. 12

This well known manga series and anime has been dubbed one of the greatest works of anime and manga. The author of the series Hajime Isayama keeping readers coming back.

Previously Eren, Armin, and Mikasa along with the rest of the Survey Corps discovers that Bertlot and Reiner are the Armored and Colossal titans. After battling with the armored Titan and losing Eren and Yimir are captured and taken to the forest of giant trees. Now Erwin the leader of the Survey Corps devise a plan to rescue Eren and Ymir. Their plan is quite simple there are 3 groups one to ride straight at them as a distraction than two groups one on each side to ride use their 3D Maneuvering Gear to go up into the trees and get Eren and Ymir and to kill Reiner and Bertlot if it comes to that. Meanwhile on the border of the Forest of Giant Trees Bertlot and Reiner look out on the land looking for Survey corps and talk about their plan of what to do once they get Eren and Ymir to the secret village. Just out of earshot behind them Eren and Ymir talk about their own escape plans. Their plan is as soon as they move out both Eren would turn in to his Titan form and run also carrying Ymir then when he exhausted his power they would trade Ymir running in her Titan form and carrying Eren. But just as Bertlot turns back to check on Eren and Yimir Reiner sees the frontal team charging at them. To keep them occupied Reiner turns into the armored Titan and Bertlot grabs Eren and Ymir and hops onto The armored Titan. The teams that were going to run in from the side missed their chances so they grouped up and charged at them from behind. The armored Titan just kept running and Mikasa being Ming the front chargers saw Eren on top of the Titan and jumped off of her horse and grappled onto the Titan to go get Eren the armored Titan saw her coming and hit her out of the air. Seeing this Eren immediately broke through his bonds and jumped off of the Titan to go get Mikasa Bertlot and Reiner didn't care at this point they needed to escape but they kept Ymir with them. But after seeing Mikasa was okay Eren would not let Bertlot and Reiner escape for betraying them and breaking the walls. So Eren tried turning into a Titan but for some reason it didn't work but instead a bunch of random titans came out of nowhere and started attack the armored Titan and that is where this volume ended.


For me this book is one of the best in the series it had plenty of action good story and overall flowed very well I definitely recommend it but make sure you read the other 11 volumes first but they are worth it because of the great story and amazing characters that you get attached to. I give this book a 9.5/10. It's not 10/10 because the cliffhanger.

  2. There are a few things you you got wrong, Erwin wasn't really planing on saving Ymir he was mostly planning on saving eren, eren did think he could turn into a titan and run but never mentioned switching turns with Ymir when he's out of breath and after hearing that Ymir is on Reiner side he nows sees her as a threat, when Reiner saw the survey corps he went to eren and tied him up and eren tried to fight back but couldn't do anything since he had no arms, the survey corps plan was to get the titans to chase them while the others 2 groups were chasing and distracting Reiner and when Reiner finally realized there where titan in front of him but decided to keep running and burst threw a few of them but than got stuck because of trying to protect bertolt and the weight of the titans, Mikasa was caught one of the titans and jean came to save her, even never jumped out of Bert because he was tied behind him, Erwin came and sliced threw Bert chest and saved eren. Eren power didn't work because he needed to rest

  4. I am very interested in this manga and I might read the series because I have already seen the anime and I wonder if the manga is different. I look forward to reading it I am sure it is good because the anime was good. Hopefully it is as action packed as the anime and I hope it has some of the same scenes so I know how it relates with the anime episodes.

  8. I really want to read this manga because I’ve watched the anime and there’s a lot of action in it and I want to see if the story is written different between the book and the actual anime. It’s seems like a very interesting book and I have to catch up on the story the books are better in ways so I definitely want to read it.

  9. I would like to read this book because it is animation. I like animation but I’m not the biggest fan of reading so I like this book because it is going to be easier for me to read. Also it is very interesting because they are fighting and I like movies that have fighting in it so I feel like I will like. So that is why I kind of want to read this book.
