Attack on Titan, Vol. 3

Isayama, Hajime. Attack on Titan, Vol. 3. 2012. 189p. ISBN 9781612620251. Available in the graphic novels section of the library.


Having emerged from the body of a Titan at the end of Attack on Titan, Vol. 2, Eren doesn't remember how he got here or how he healed. Misaka and Armin, his adopted sister and their childhood friend, stand guard over him as angry soldiers vow to exact revenge on Eren. He looks human, but they reason that he might be in league with the Titans. Thinking fast, Armin convinces Commander Pixis, the eccentric general in charge of defending Wall Maria, that Eren represents their best hope at blocking the broken gate that Titans are using to breach the wall and enter the city. If Eren can transform into a Titan and move a large boulder that lays in a nearby park, this should effectively close access to the town.

But Eren is not sure he can control the monster inside him. Plagued by doubts from his father, Eren believes that information about his condition and his newfound powers can be located in his childhood home, now under Titan control. His only hope at discovering who, or what, he is lays on finding out what happened to him when he was a child. But first, he needs to block the path.

As soldiers deploy on the wall, hoping to drag the Titans away from the opening, Eren, Misaka and Armin drop on the ground, hoping that this desperate gambit will work...

The story continues in Attack on Titan, Vol. 4.
