Story
Eren wakes up from a long dream, drooling. Mikasa wakes him up but he panics enough to get himself dressed quickly, scared that he'll be late for his first day. He is so distracted by his conversation with Mikasa he doesn't notice Christa and accidentally crashes into her. He apologizes by giving her little money to make up for making her drop her breakfast. Ymir splits them up and sends Eren and Mikasa off. Eren crashes into Sasha next, damaging her watermelon in the process. He gives her a small picture of him to apologize and she demands he pay for her watermelon. Afterwards, he collides with Mikasa at an intersection and is sent flying to the doorstep of Titan Junior High School. He finds the people from before trailing behind, all angry at him. However, they all hear the school bell and try to find their class. Eren accidentally runs into the Titan part of Titan Junior High, and tries to find his class 1-4. There, he is attacked by the dropping of giant stationery and notices that it belongs to a Titan. Everyone scrambles out of the classroom and are luckily found by Hannes.

Eren is properly directed to his actual classroom, where he passionately introduces himself as the person who will eradicate Titans from the entire world. Eren's thoughts are intercepted by Jean, and they start fighting. Mikasa breaks up their fight and Jean blatantly shows his jealousy of Eren. Their fight is stopped by their teacher this time. Later on, Eren assembles with the rest of the first years to get welcomed by their Colossal Titan principal. Eren sees that their principal has kicked a hole in their school wall and Titans are invading, stealing people's lunches. He angrily grabs cleaning supplies as weapons and charges at the Colossal Titan by jumping off a roof, but falls to the ground mid-jump. The Colossal Titan steals his cheeseburger lunch and Eren is distraught.

Eren tells his classmates that Armin is absent due to the cold weather despite it being spring. With that in mind, he decides to go check on him later. Mr. Keith notifies him and his friends to give in their club admission forms by the next day or else they will be sorted into a club of Mr. Keith's own choosing. Eren and Mikasa finish buying meat buns and sweet drinks for Armin, however their food is stolen by a Titan. To their surprise, Levi comes to their rescue by knocking the Titan down and Eren is inspired by Levi's actions. He asks which club Levi is in, however Levi keeps that a mystery. Eren and Mikasa enter Armin's abode and have trouble getting him out of his room until Mikasa mentions the food they brought. Soon enough, Eren notes that there is a rip in Armin's futon. When Levi snatches Armin's futon away, Eren and Mikasa head downstairs to look for him. Mikasa finds a wings of freedom button belonging to Levi, so Eren suggests they look for him at school.

They easily find the club Levi is in, namely the Attack Junior High Scout Regiment and try to look for Levi there. Eren meets a variety of upperclassmen and is keen on joining the club. He asks about Levi's button, and Hange shows Eren a technique to summon Levi by throwing a plastic bottle in the wrong assorted bin. Levi smacks Eren in the head with his paper fan and returns Armin's futon. Eren recovers quickly and is convinced to join the club. Eren and his friends are approved for admittance, but Eren is assigned to the Wall Beautification Club due to the Attack Junior High Scout Regiment being unauthorized.

Relationships

 * Mikasa Ackermann - Although Eren doesn't really pay attention to Mikasa's acts of affection towards him, he tries to get along with Mikasa despite her babying him. He acknowledges that she excels at everything she does and strives to beat her to prove his usefulness. As they were close since young, they have a casual friendship.
 * Armin Arlelt - Armin is Eren's best friend and they were friends since childhood. Eren tries his best to make Armin realize his potential as a person, despite being a current shut-in. Eren is very supportive of Armin's ideas, often encouraging him to voice his opinion when he wants to.
 * Levi - Eren bluntly idolizes Levi from his strength as "the strongest man" to his role in the anonymous band "No Name". Simply put, Eren aspires to possess Levi's demeanor when defeating Titans and is dedicated to the Attack Junior High Scout Regiment after hearing such an individual took part in the club.
 * Jean Kirschtein - The pair often argue a lot due to differing opinions and personalities. Even though Jean brags to Eren most of the time about his popularity in elementary school, Eren does not fall inferior to him.
 * Grisha and Carla Jaeger - They are the parents of Eren who wish him a good day at school. Although their relationship is not fully shown, it is implied that they are very close as a family.
