Attack on Titan Vol.9

     Attack on a Titan is a manga series. Mangas are Japanese comic books. It was also adapted into a very popular anime series. The book series is about three friends: Eren, Mikasa, and Armin. They live in a world where humanity is at the brink of extinction and that's because of Titans. Titans are giant humanoid creatures that eat humans. Humanity enclosed themselfies in three, 50 meter tall walls that defend them from the titans. The more wealthy people live in the most inner walls while the poorer people live in the outer walls. So the main characters live in the outer walls and when they're 9 years old, the wall's gate gets breached open by a giant titan dubbed the Colossal Titan. When this breach happens, Erin's mother ends up getting eaten by a Titan right in front of Erens eyes, and this sparks Eren's determination to join the army, when he's a teenager, where they go pass the walls to 'attack titans'.

      So I recently read the ninth volume of the on going series. This is concidered to be in season two territory as volumes 1-8 are season one of the anime series. Season two just started airing and the first two or three episodes (I forgot) are volume nine of the manga. This started off right after volume eight as it should and is the start of season two after a cliff hanger. In this volume, we get an in depth start on the construction of the walls which was a big question at the start of the series. Eren, who just had a huge fight, is resting from that and makes only a minor appearance. Rather, we get more of a focus on some other minor characters and their adventures right now. I recommend reading this series as the entire series has gotten praise for its story and characters.
