I'm not 100% sure Armin is dead because of the whole Levi thing but if anything it's incredibly bleak and I can't see him alive.

I'll still read the manga but as the OP said it just won't be quite the same.

Yeah, as in any work of fiction, the possibility of him being saved somehow is still there; but it would feel very anticlimatic and false after the extremely gruesome circumstances of his demise and the fact that he already gave up his dream and received recognition for his sacrifice. I'm pretty sure Isayama already has storylines in mind to make up for his absence, as he has done with every deceased character so far.
