Shingeki no Kyojin by Hajime Isayama

So here is an update on my AOT review after reading a part of the manga that exceeds the material covered in the anime´s Season 1.
First of all, I liked the manga a bit better (which, of course, is the case with most manga to anime conversions I have experienced). The diversions from manga to anime are really minimal. The horrible chapter dealing with the basic training is shifted to a later point in the story (and should have not been published in the first place - it is atrocious as I described in my anime review). By the way, I realized there actually IS a leader presiding over all three branches of the military (though why we do not see more of him is anyone´s guess).
The big monkey on the back is of course the clusterfuck of a drawing style. Proportions are almost laughably bad. In the very first chapter the wall is described as being only 50 meters high, when compared with the height of a human it looks to be more like 150-200 meters! This is quite important of course, since a 200m Titan would be neigh unstoppable with humankind´s limited weaponry! The copy-and-paste buildings are of course another beam in the eye of the beholder´s brother. On the other hand, elements like the titans and humans (I can actually tell the most important characters apart on a glance!) are flawlessly designed, if not anything special.
But, since art style in manga and anime - just like graphics in video games - are really neglegible in importance to me, the reason why I droppedShingeki no Kyojin eventually was the author´s betrayal of the original premise of the story.
To elaborate, AOT started out as the conflict of humanity and
