2023 EDIT: Part of my (latest) 2023 clear-up, of books (and franchises) I no longer like, or am no longer interested in, or remember well as standing out, or find as special anymore, or I otherwise will not miss.
Final Score: 3.5/5
Original Review:
Just a quick read at the library for me.
This is Mikasa's volume; her story, her set piece. All action and fear and anger and the never-fading will to survive, and the consequences of humans ever losing hope and vision. It's quite well-structured, especially in its character development, with not much dialogue getting in the way.
Mikasa rocks, even when it appears she depends on a boy to give her a reason to live. She doesn't. At her lowest point, she keeps going. She is Badass.
Funny how a whole manga volume - the second one at that - can still work when its main protagonist is barely in it. The spotlight is on the female star, while the other male characters are overly emotional and are thus rendered practically useless.
Final Score: 4/5
