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*

*4.5/5 stars.

This was so cool! The story is I'd think at its height at this point and I cannot wait to see what happens further. Ugh I'm also itching to watch the anime now.

didn't like that volume 15 was all flash backs of supporting characters but I no it was necessary for plot
