WARNING: SPOILERS INBOUND!!

Ok, with that out of the way, I will be doing the Attack on Titan manga. The part that I am doing is chapter 2 (of the first manga) page 20, 21, and 22.

The question that I will be doing is: “If you could change one [might be a few exceptions] thing in the book, what would it be? Why would you change it? How would you change it?” So, this is what I would change.

In the pages listed above (20, 21 22 of chapter 2), Eren’s (the main character) mom dies, by getting eaten by a titan. You can clearly see it in a few frames, her being squished, and her legs sticking out of the titans mouth (did I mention that this book could be a bit, how do you say it, gory?) If I could change one thing in the book, I might change that it says that the mother gets eaten, but never actually shows it. How? Maybe instead of on pages 21 and 22, the frames of her being grabbed and eaten, It could instead show in the background something very slightly different, that may hint that she survived. And that words that say that she died would be coming from Eren, because he thinks that she died, therefore her being able to come back later in the book and surprise you really, really, hard.
