Just as I thought, Levi is badass in this prologue chapter. Oop there he goes and I spot Erwin at the end there.

An intersting start :3 I already love it xD Though probably partly because I'm Levi-biased lol xD
Heichou was as badass as always <3
And seems he was already skilled with using 3DMG, but that's not a surprise based on what we already know.
His comrades seem fairly likeable for now ^^
Looks like Erwin's already spotted him, looking forward to see what's going to happen next :3 (Though having to wait for a month again -.-)

WAITING FOR THIS FOR SOOOOO LONGGGGG!!!!!!!

BUT.

MMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm........................... Well.................................................................
Kinda cliche................. the bumping into the bad guy and then the thug faking getting hurt, and then the thug gets angry but thank God the cool main protagonist is so strong he can defeat them with a single blow..... Hmmm.... Well....
Doesn't feel like something that Hajime Isayama would make.. Is he really supervising this??

Feels like a fighting scene from yaoi manga, where the fighting isn't actually important, it's just there to show how cool the main protagonist is...

Hope next chapter will get SUPER ULTRA BETTER than this. The prologue from "Before the Fall" is so good, so it would be a bummer if this one sucks because i love Levi.

That was a pretty short chapter, but Levi really was a thug, how he was just attacking those people xD
But they already showed Erwin, I was expecting him to appear later on, but this looks like it'll be interesting.

I have a question about this.

Do you think we will get an official past about Levi? Since the story is written by Gan Sunaaku and not by Isayama-sensei (that's what I read everywhere). Does anyone have opinions on this?

I'm a bit confused about how they could be thugs as soldiers... (I think? Since they had 3DMG)

"Do you ever have a problem where you just don't know how to reply to an argument-- not because you don't know the answer, but you just don't where to begin? Like, the foundation of knowledge you'd need to impart to this person before you could even begin to drag them out of their sinkhole of ignorance would cost thousands of dollars, if it were coming from a University?" -MAL in a nutshell.

They're not soldiers. They just got their hands on 3DMG somehow, though that hasn't been explained yet. It was mentioned in one of the previews somewhere, as well as that shocking preview teaser that revealed how Levi joined the Corps to kill Erwin. I guess we'll see how that comes to be as more chapters are released.

And moomoonya1, there are some fan scanlations and translations floating about online. If you're on tumblr, you can likely easily find various versions of it.

First, Isayama is supervising every side stories/spin-offs, so we're good. It's his franchise afterall.

Second, they smuggle 3DMGs out for thugs to use.

This pretty much confirms passively that there might be stronger dudes than Top Dog Levi himself in the smuggling ring.

After all, he's just the strongest soldier, not the strongest human being.

Thank you very much! (^ ^). It's good that the spin-off is going to be sincere X3.

From episode 23 (?) they showed there that the MPs sell their equipments to the black market. Pretty much why thugs have gears.

And the art is definitely better. Sorry Isayama-sensei.

Some clean art. Can't say too much, other than a pretty cliche start. We'll see where this goes.
Deconstruction ≠ Darker & Edgier
Trope ≠ Cliché (Face it, nothing is completely original. Can't make something from nothing so to say.).
Fanservice ≠ Ecchi (Though ecchi can please the fans!)
Popular ≠ Sucks... maybe
Seinen = K-ON! Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen and Josei are demographics.
Anime/Manga = Japanese Cartoons! Deal with it.

Support Movember. Raise awareness of men's health issues. Put a mustache on your avatars or something...

The art is very clean, which I really like.
It was interesting to see that Rivaille was already a pro with the 3DMG and he also had friends.

Next chapter is on November 28th though...Meh, I can't complain. My favourite character in the series has a spin off manga. I can wait lol.

Ookay, the pages from the VN looked more serious. Not that I mind the shipping, but it feels a bit off. And since there's no info on the VN, the manga version made me wonder about Isayama's involvement, too.

The other thing that worries me is whether the VN/manga spin-off are designed to be Levi-centric or both Levi and Erwin are supposed to be retconned to an equal extent. Because unless Erwin's rape face a la "Your ass is mine" is used as a shoujo bait addressing Aria's audience, ... it feels weird, compared to SnK manga and anime (first chapter/first episode).

Notes: (spoilers for general purposes)

Once again, IsaHaji's horrible original manga got owned hard. LOL
4/10 for this prologue.
Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances.
He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter.
Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga.
Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month.
Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel.
The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck.

Maybe this shoujo, shounen ai-y (dat stare... dat tension) spin-off is Isayama-sensei's indirect stamp of approval for Eruri.
*gross laughter*

On a more serious note, does anyone have a source on whether Isayama signed off on this or not? Like an interview or something. I want to know if these events are gonna be canon. I know some people have said that it is, but I just want to be sure.

This is exactly what I thought as well.

As others have mentioned, the fight is very cliche. I wanted to to see Levi's skills without the 3D gear. Also expected a colder, more vicious flavor of badass and a dark and troubled lone wolf past. But this is a shoujo mag...so I predict that the chick in Levi's trio will have the hots for him. Maybe there'll even be a love triangle.

It's funny that there may be illegal 3DMG possessors that are better with it than actual soldiers.

Erwin's determined rape-smile at the end is out of character. The one time I've seen him smile is with Mike, and that wasn't a rape-smile.

Edit: He also smiled at the new Scout recruits, but that wasn't a rape-smile either. Guess it's fujoshi time...

This story should've happened in a Seinen. But it is Levi, and Levi = fangirls.

Is this canon?

I don't mean episode 24/25 of the anime-canon, but actually canon.

I taught she'd have the hots on him too. Fortunately they seem to make him a brother figure for her, which might be cool.
