Shingeki FINAL, Second Part

I translated the various comments left by Isayama under some manuscript’s pages. Possible translation mistakes, let me know if you find any.

#1



“What Eren’s doing is the worst deed, but if you could feel a sense of exhilaration/invigoration there, then it was worth it to have drawn manga until now.”

#2

“I thought I managed to draw Levi’s face very well here, if I do say so myself.”



#3

“The burglar who had assaulted Mikasa is being stabbed in the heart, but I wanted to make a comparison between this scene and the “Dedicate your heart” [Shinzou wo sasageyo] pose.” T/N: he’s referring to the previous page where Louise strikes that pose, which is, apparently, what triggers Mikasa’s headache:

#4

“I wanted to represent a feeling as if the heroes (as in: protagonists of the story) are meandering around/are lost in a history that repeats itself.”

#5

“When Eren was 15, he was about the same height as Hange, but after 4 years, he grew more than 10 centimeters. I wanted to draw such a composition: Hange looking up at Eren and Eren looking down at Hange.”

#6

“From around this time, I inserted this scene with Armin who immediately says “Let’s talk” and Eren who can’t understand that, for future purposes.” T/N: in reference to chapter 112?

#7

“In this two-page spread, I’d like you to pay attention to the muddy river at the front, drawn by my super-skilled assistant.”
