Attack on Titan Omnibus

been slowly reading this series. mostly because i watched season 1 eons ago and i wanted to know where it all went...

omnibus 1-4 or tough. every character is deeply flawed. everyone questions themselves. and everyone pretty much suffers loss after loss.

that's fine, but at some point i questioned if it was all repetitive.

then omnibus 5 came along and i think i briefly celebrated the plot feeling like it all amounted to something. i was getting somewhere.

so i guess i'm sticking with it. maybe. i still have many more to go.

[10.30.26] and its over. all 34 volumes (13 omnibuses?). what a spectacular journey from a snails back to inside the engine of a lightship. i'm glad i stuck with it. i ended up in places in so many unexpected places that i was being whiplashed like a child being tossed by a titan.

and the way it all ended with a look deeper into the cycle, the paths and ultimately mikasas life. because it was always about her and her love.

i'm not even going to watch the anime. the story gets free replay in my mind.

congrats to isayama. well done.

not everyone is going to like the ending. but it is the ending that we all deserve, because it is true to the world of titans and eldians alike.
