Why people think Levi is so interesting is so beyond me. I think it's the most default character in the whole series. And funny to think of it, because he's not important by any means. In fact, he may die and still many other characters (like Hange or Mikasa herself) may take his place. He's just popular. And what I mean with importance is that any Titan Shifter is hell more important to the story (with the possible exception of Bertolt, who was important at the start).

And as for Levi's side story, nothing is happening to it. It's a monthly manga just as the main story, so you will have to wait a while until you see a new chapter.
