I'm honestly surprised that attack of the titans have a huge fujoshi fanbase.
Seems like a weird series for them to latch on to.

I hope it's not Levi.
Young boys heroically bleeding for each other.
You know, all those hints about Reiner and Bertholdt, I actually interpreted them to imply that he's gay.
And then he went titan on us.
He can still be gay though, just a gay titan.

Rivaille/Eren is perfect. Rivaille is everything Eren wanted to be. One day, after some terse conversation over dinner, Rivaille sneaks into Eren's room . . . Ooh, senpai, etc, etc. Let me show you how the 3D manuever gear really works. Wait, I need to refill my blades. Oh, I got your refill right here . . .
It's got a bunch of cool male characters, why is that surprising? Plus the close bonding that can only come from constant shared near-death experiences and warfare, etc.
Giant naked dudes of varying bodytype in every major assault. Lays down a pretty concrete foundation.
No it doesn't.

Mostly just because most of the males aren't really that attractive.
Who doesn't beat up Eren?
What Branduil said is accurate. Wherever you have boys being nakamas, you'll have fangirls.
Armin.
Unless you count psychological abuse.
Doesn't stop One Piece doujins from being high in da chartz.
Or the JoJo doujins of old. Hell, CLAMP started with JoJo.

I dunno. Jojo at least I can see because starting from part 2 everyone gets crazy fabulous, with next to no meaningful female love interest, and with reality-bending physiques. Just look at the first appearance of the pillar men. *swoon*
Done already. Trust me.

You forgot Titan x Titan. Or even worse, Titan x Defeated Female Soldiers.

The guy that freaks out in like the first episode/chapter when telling that old woman her son died in vain is pretty hot.
Poor Armin... he is pretty useless though.
I thought that was a better name than "What a twist" Titan.
I'm a man and still think Levi is the best so far along with his commander.
Mikasa is too fixated on Eren's cock and Eren is still green.
After seeing the first two episodes, I started to think it was waaaaay too risky to just follow the anime and read the entire thing. It was really entertaining though that reveal in 42 was pretty... awkward. I actually went several pages back to ensure I did not miss any information or big panel or anything, this was so weird.
Just a question: didn't Nick, the priest dude, said that Harmonia was supposed to be able to give some answers because she was the heir to a big family? I'm pretty surprised they didn't ask her ANYTHING yet.

the mangaka is such a bloody tease.
Every time when you thought the 'good' guys would have a break, e.g. arrest of titan-annie in the woods, she escaped after killing off a bunch characters. Every time when you thought some mysteries would be revealed, e.g. the arrest of annie, she turned into crystal.
While I enjoy the overall very dark settings and despotic nature of the titans, the series might run into the same trouble as game of thrones later books,
And eren is so very much your typical male protagonist in manga.

let's kill off characters and/or make them going round in circles enduring more pain and setbacks.

He also said that she doesn't know anything at the moment. She could get answers from her family though.
Pretty much. Eren is a deconstruction of the typical angry shounen protagonist; hence his extreme anger issues and borderline derangement; not to mention the contrast caused by placing him in a world where willpower can only get you so far and most people he's with die horribly.
She doesn't really do anything though...
She stabbed a titan in the face with an arrow.
If she's actually confirmed to be female, anyway!
(last time I saw the author talk about Hanji, he said he didn't want to confirm the character's gender)
Not much of a twist: she was said to be female just one page after her first appearance. :þ
About as likely as him being a secret titan.
Wait, what? D:
Hanji is a close third behind Sasha and Mikasa. And the only reason is because potato moe >dead eyes moe > SCIENCE moe.
EDIT: lol dreams shattered
Have you seen Mikasa's abs? Mangaka isn't concerned about the girls looking feminine.
He apparently considers the gender of his characters to be about as relevant as their blood type.
(I believe Hanji is voiced by a woman though, for what it's worth)
EDIT: Wait, Hanji is voiced by Park Romi. Might not be worth all that much, then! ^^
