The big big reveal. The nuances of the president was amazing. Finally almost all the sins have been revealed sans pride and I am very sure he is going to be amazing. Sad that greed had to go but loved that arc too. I am enjoying the humor more and more and it came at a much needed time. The new entranta was something I had no clue about and it sure has piqued my interest. I have come round to appreciating Scar.

i'm ridiculously invested in this story

This is definitely an awesome series! I really wasn't expecting what happened toward the beginning and middle of this one! And seeing how fast Ed manages to mangle that auto-mail so quickly I really don't blame Winry at all for her outbursts (I use to hate them in the show).

I enjoyed the story, but there was a lot of fighting that I didn't follow as well in this volume. I don't dislike the fight panels, I just have a harder time deciphering some of them compared to when there's text.
