Synopsis

A baby is found crying in a mass of Titan vomit, amidst the dead titan flames. The child is called "child of titan" and is essentially hated by the people inside the walls. He also seems to grow unnaturally fast. Named Kuklo, he parts himself from his past/upbringing and gambles on the fate of humanity by enlisting in the scouting legion.

A pretty cool prequel manga that takes place 50 years before the events of Attack On Titan's first episode/chapter. Goes VERY in-depth with how the ODM Gear was constructed and it shows that AoT could be entertaining even without too much focus on the titans.

Meh! Compared to the main series, this prequel was painfully mediocre. Even if you're an avid AOT fan, this might not be for you. Because there is no 'twists' or 'revealations' that'll blow your mind while watching this because of it being a prequel.

this does not need to exist. it is a long, exhausting, dreadful read full of the most useless and unnecessary series of events known to man. and slapping an AoT logo on it doesn't really help it out.

halfway into the first chapter, it's kinda evident that things are just going to take a turn for the worse. not that it's completely abhorrent but that it tries a lot of things and does not really succeed at any of them.

the art is ok. it tries to mimic the original AoT art but i did feel like the background art was lacking for the most part ...
