紀伊国屋で一番売れてる漫画本： Comic that is ranked #1.

[English]

• レビュー１：　
  こんなに引き込まれる漫画は初めてかもしれません。引き延ばしも無くスピーディーで、内容が濃いです。アクションや作戦、キャラクターの心情描写など本当に秀逸で大満足な内容でした!帯に2013年実写映画化決定とありましたが、実写映画化…。どうなんでしょう??ミカサ以外はみんな欧米人設定だし、立体機動装置でのアクションや巨人等々…実写でどう表現するのか気になります。


• レビュー２：　
  息もつかせぬ先の読めない展開の漫画です。
  そしてそれ以上に、人間を描くことのうまい漫画であるように思います。
  
  画力はそれほどでもないかもしれませんが、動きや人間の感情・気持ちの揺れ動きを描くのは大変うまい。この巻は読んでよかったと思える出来でした。次の巻にも期待が持てます。
  そしてそれ以上に、映画化の予定が決まり、楽しみ半分怖さ半分の自分がいます。

お話の展開ですか？こんな脚注が付いてます。いいですよね、この種の奇想天外な舞台設定は。ぼくは大好きです。

Here's the first rank comic book at Kinokuniya Bookstore, one of the top 3 bookstore in Japan, titled "Shingeki no Kyojin" (means: Marching Giants). That is a story of the world where the giants, I mean the giants the big people (not that baseball team FYI), have everything. The human beings are their food.



Isn't it scary?


The human beings won't be beaten easily, of course. Otherwise the story ends there, right? The human beings sent out a research team in pursuance of the "mastery of the Giants" that was supposed to be at the house where Ellen was born. The team had found there Almin and Mikasa as well. There appeared the women type of Giants in front of the team. . . . .

Here's what the manga enthusiast say about this comic:

• Review 1: This could be my first time to be drawn by a comic book. The development is fast
  and you don't see the detour and packed with the action, tactics, the mental development of the main characters. They all combine to make me happy. I've heard that this comic will be live action movie in 2013.
  
  Could that be possible? There are so many gadget that are difficult to see the effect in live action. Well, but there is a few years to go. I really love to see it.



• Review 2: The comic that is breathlessly fast story development and difficult to guess its direction. Further, I feel that the author is an expert of drawing the character of each role. You may feel that the graphics are a bit short but there are enough hint for the motion, activity and the sentiment of the characters. Especially, I feel satisfied with this volume. I cannot wait the next volume. Besides, it should be quite nice to watch those scenes in the books on the screen.
