Attack on Titan: Before the Fall 1
by Ryo Suzukaze
Eh this was pretty weak. So attack on titan is a fast paced action packed series about titans eating people and humans trying to survive. Before the Fall is about one titan eating people, spitting back a baby, and people believing he is the son of a titan. Right off the bat it sounds off but hell, let's go with it okay?
The two main leads are a titanboy and the daughter of the person who bought him from a prison only to shackle him up once more. One day the girl decides it's time to split from this place and they decide together they will leave.
What I liked: The idea of learning more about the titans is interesting. I also like the contrast between AoT BIG cast and this very small cast.
What I didn't like: The art is really bad sometimes. As in I can't tell what in the fucking world is happening. I also had issue with a lot of the dialog, for it's super stilted, more so than usual in manga. The two main leads are kind of lifeless and boring and the plot really felt cliche and not well told.
This could be, or should be, a lot better. I'll try a few more volumes to see if it improves but if the rest are anything like this I'm in trouble. I don't expect action every page but damn, if you want me to care about these characters, give me something more than cliche shit that you present here. A 1.5-2 out of 5.
