Humanity is under attack from the titans, gigantic man-eating monsters. They seem humanoid, but show no intelligence. They only hunger for human flesh.
Attack on Titan is pretty damn brutal, and this second volume continues that tradition. Our eager cadets from the first volume are faced with their first real crisis - one that can be fatal to many, or all of them. Misaka, one of the main characters, gets more attention in this volume. We learn more about her past, and how she can seem so calm under threat of death. The dialogue was a bit heavy-handed or stilted in some places. This might be due to translation; it's impossible for me to tell whether it does work in Japanese.
Action-packed and pretty damn depressing.
