Musing Over Manga: Attack on Titan Chapter 57--Underdogs

Before I get into this post, I want to talk specifically about this panel for a minute. This is why I love this series. This is why I keep following it from month to month, even with the weird pacing, the random plot twists, and the annoying tendency to not tell the readers vital information. This is why. Right here.

The characters in this series are constantly put into horrifying, messed up situations, but they never give up. They pick themselves up and keep fighting anyway. Nothing stops them for long. Fighting and dying for the chance at a better future is more important to them than rolling over and giving up simply for the sake of survival. And even though they're up against impossible odds, that kind of hope is truly inspiring, regardless of the shortcomings of the story it's taking place in. That's why this series has my love, and that's why I'll keep following it to the end. I want to know where that belief takes them, even if that means the characters will have to go through hell and back to accomplish their goal.

Also, in light of Kodansha stating that Hanji's gender is not allowed to be confirmed in the manga, I will also be respecting the author's wishes and will not use gendered pronouns to refer to Hanji from here on out. Follow the link for more information on that. However, I will continue to spell Hanji's name however I want. Because reasons.)
