I’m certain that Edward is really dead.

Fuck fuck fuck Bradley is here and he totally knows that Roy knows he’s a sinner.

Oh my god Ed is alive! What a twist!

So Envy started the Civil War.

*sees Envy's true form or whatever* NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE N-O-P-E NOPEEEEEEEEEEEEE

“Bradley: Hughes’s child…what was here name…? She made an unbelievable racket during the funeral. My fists were trembling with anger.”—Pager 100

Fuck. You.

They were in and now they’re out of the belly of the beast.

WHO IS THIS GUY? I thought this was the boy’s dad but I guess not. So confused.

I’m going to guess that the Elric dad is Pride.

AHHHH AHHHH AHHHH HE’S GOING TO TURN LIN INTO GREED.

Is Bradley gonna try and turn Hawkeye into Lust? That would be hilarious.

Look at Armstrong waiting!

I ship Hawkeye and Roy so much.

There’s a scar on Roy’s hand?

“Lan Fan: If he did it in a year, then I’ll do it in six months.”—Page 339

I love Lan Fan.

The fuck is on Hawkeye’s back?

Roy’s master reminds me of Mado and Amon from Tokyo Ghoul. Is this a manga trope? And Hawkeye is his master’s daughter.

Armstrong you trapped those people in there. Oh god Armstrong’s backstory will be the death of me.

Holy shit Scar’s brother gave Scar his arm. That’s weird.

"I wish my life to be the last one taken in this war."-Fullmetal Alchemist chapter 60 volume 15.

As one continues to read through this series of Manga it gets increasingly hard to write reviews. Not because the books aren't great. Mainly, it's because many people might not tough it out or read it.
I really enjoyed this edition of FMA it filled in the gaps where we had been previously left in the dark and it was intense. I think it was the point where things will be changing in the series. Things will be more intense and more people will come away with tears in their eyes.


The last few chapters hit the hardest for me. As someone who is in the military it really does. Arakawa did her research very well when it came to scenes of war. It was intense and the drawings really encapsulated war and what it brings with it.


I am fully ready to continue on with this story line no matter how gut wrenching it will be. such a great. This is the book that will blur reality and fiction, blending them together to really make you think.
