ishbal chapters are such a big OOF even rereading aaaaaaaa

So good to be back to this story. I love everything about it. I love how Hiromu has this extraordinary ability to bring such great strong emotions with her drawings. I love the love, the pain, the difficulty of knowing what's right, wrong and duty. In this one volume in particular we tackle heavier storylines than before, our characters are growing and keep on reaching for their goals. It's as beautiful as ever, and then some more.

the Ishbalan war was heartbreaking.

I continue to be in love with this series, definitely not ready for the end that is nigh.
I absolutely loved the whole backstory with the civil war, it helped fill in some of the heartbreaking gaps that had been mentioned but never fully described. I am also falling completely head over heels in love with Riza Hawkeye because holy heaven, she just keeps on getting better and better.
