Attack on Titan, Vol. 24 by Hajime Isayama

"On the way to Eren's home, deep in Titan territory, the Survey Corps ranks are broken by a charge led by a female Titan! But this Abnormal is different--she kills not to eat but to protect herself, and she seems to be looking for someone. Armin comes to a shocking conclusion: she's a human in a Titan's body, just like Eren!"--Page 4 of cover.

Love the action in this volume!! And getting into the mystery of the Female Titan is very intriguing.

Story
This volume is a giant flashback, that was presented chronologically in the anime series.

We see Eren & Co. as they spend their time in training to fight the titans. We also get a lot more back story on the other members of their trainee class.

I think I prefer the anime's approach of having it chronologically rather than as a flashback. However Mr. Isayama does it early enough in the series that it may not matter too much because most of the story so far has focused on Eren, Mikasa and Armin.

I like this story arc as it really gives depth to the supporting cast which I think becomes more important later on.

Can't wait for volume 5!

Artwork
This volume didn't have quite the level of action in it as previous ones, so it's hard for me gauge on that point.

Mr. Isayama seems to be getting more comfortable with his characters as the series goes on.

You get a good look at what the characters went through in training in this volume. The ending has a sad surprise.

4.4

The only thing I hate about this volume is that the scenes are not in chronological order, as opposed to the anime. But still, I do not have a proper reason to hate on this. Moving on to volume 5!!!
