I'm really liking this story and where it's heading. The flashback was a little much, and I would've liked that part a little more if it had been more dispersed within the other volumes.

The first two volumes of this bind-up were really good, but the third one completely blew me away and definitely upped the rating a lot. Volume 15 is raw. It is harsh and brutal and the way Arakawa writes the genocide of Ishval is heart-wrenching. Although it's a horrifying story, the craftsmanship really shines through in this volume - the pacing is really, really good in certain places and the panelling is straight up brilliant. The way Arakawa dwells in certain moments, the way she makes the reader sit with all the conflicting and uncomfortable emotions through her art and her writing, it's really skillful storytelling and it's obvious that she put great care into portraying this event in all its recognizable horror.
