this eren x mikasa thing kinda came out of nowhere, especially when i spent the entire time seeing them as bros and sis. but i can understand why it would be bad to show any mutual romance between them prior. eren had so much on his hand, he would have had zero time to express his feelings so now it just bursts last minute.
also. mikasa went off with eren's head back to the tree on paradis. did she swim freestyle back or smth? lol.
It was the first time he showed his real honest feelings towards armin and it's just so pure and sad at the same time, telling Armin that he does not want Mikasa to be with another man is the only selfish thing he wished for. Not about war nor titans, his pure honest feelings that he couldnt express.
I don't know, wasn't feeling it for me. I get the author was trying to educate and create a story but it didn't really hit for me. I thought they did too much telling and less showing. Before anything happens, a character basically explains why/how something happened to cause the current event. I'm not talking about the DID stuff, that is fine, I'm referring to when both characters reveal information from long ago or information that wasn't available to readers. Instead of just showing a couple scenes with good transitions, characters have to explain the scenes. Also I get the feeling that the story was being created as they go (it probably isn't, but that's just what I felt when I was reading). I felt a disconnect between chapters because aspects of some future chapters didn't really connect with previous chapters. It's like oh yeah this something is actually here and relevant now, when it wasn't really mentioned in previous chapters. But you just have to believe it's relevant. That kind of story telling doesn't work for me, personally.
Moving on to the DID stuff. I can see the author is portraying it as a serious disorder and there's trauma behind every alter, but at the same time, in some moments it's been downplayed as some form of gimmick? Like oh it's cute that they switched back and forth, this is basically a threesome. The switch back and forth in convenient moments just to show something hot or cute. I feel like those are littered everywhere in this manga and although not bad per se to have a little fun, but I don't think it's good either in these instances.




my boy shoyo, oh so much you’ve become. What a journey to get here, to be able to do everything you wanna do so beautifully done, what an ending
