this series is so crazy… like just everything about it. the way that it’s funny and got a lot of humor while managing to talk about genocide, morality, evil, sin, religion, belief, etc is so insane to me.

I can't believe how much I like this series as manga has been so far out of my comfort zone. It's amazing how relevant the Ishbala and government corruption stuff is more than a decade after this was written. I know Ed and Al are the main characters, but I'm now also super invested in Mustang and Hawkeye and Armstrong (who I thought was a throw away character!). And I'm still waiting to find out more about Granny Rockbell's past...

Woha, this one is heavy. Especially the last volume when we learn about the war and what happened and why some people are the way they are now.

I'm very curious what's up with the Hohenheim lookalike and what will happen with Prince Lin. Also, the tattoo on Lt. Hawkeyes back? *drools*
