so far i have only read the manga realesed in the united states, but out of those i will have to say the first 3 were the best since they had the best battles. Also its the first time you see a lot of thing first time you see the god hand, first time you see guts kick but first time you meat pluck. The only problem is its a spoiler, you know that griffith is going to turn evil you know guts is going to loose an arm, ect. Cant wait for the laater ones through.
