Before You Read:

The main protagonist is Ymir. The secondary main protagonist is Historia. Eren and his quest for freedom is not the main focus of Caged No More though it does have its place within the story. Ymir's backstory is changed and given new life. Historia's backstory is the largely the same but leads to a vastly different outcome. This is a story where Ymir truly kidnaps Historia to save herself, but, it's also a story where Historia is truly humanity's enemy and the most despicable girl in the world. Incorporates re-introduced, re-arranged, and re-written side stories and spin offs within the world of Attack on Titan. A clumsy amateur's attempt at expanding upon the world of Attack on Titan. Multitude of cover, character, chapter, and concept illustrations by a number of artists. There are uglier things than Titans gnawing at the roots of the world.
