Attack on Titan Volumes 3 - 10

Attack on Titan, Volumes 3-10, by Hajime Isayama, 1568 pages

 

As a series goes on it gets harder and harder not to mention any spoilers. There is so much happening in this series, along with some twists and turns, that each page has something exciting happening. Attack on Titan is basically a war between humans and titans. The titans have the entire world except the last city that holds all of humanity. The titans themselves don’t actually need to eat the people to live, but seem to enjoy doing it.

 Through my reading of the series I am have come to admire Hajime Isayama’s skill. Not only does he write the series but he, if I am not mistaken, is also the illustrator. Now with how many people’s limbs get bitten off or chomped in half I would be quite easy to exaggerate the amount of blood and make each death seem gorier. But Hajime Isayama seems content to portray it as accurately as he can. Sure there is plenty of death and some pretty gruesome scenes, but nothing so overdone as to subtract from its realism.

Hopefully Attack on Titan stays as popular as it is and Hajime Isayama continues to write plenty of volumes for those of us here at SLPL that love to read them. 

 

Does anyone know why so many of the manga books have a certain number of pages that seems to be 200 +/- 8? For an example we can look at the 8 volumes here; 208, 192, 192, 208, 192, 192, 192, 192. This does not just apply to Attack on Titan, but to every manga series I have read.
