Attack on Titan, Vol. 11

Attack on Titan 11 pushes the story forward with relentless combat, but I wondered how the author planned to develop characters amidst all the chaos. Was this a conscious choice from the start?

Some decisions felt morally complex and made me question loyalty and morality. Am I the only one who found certain actions surprisingly relatable or disturbing?

The detailed setting and lore create such a bleak yet fascinating universe. I'm curious if the author drew inspiration from specific historical events or other dystopias.
