Oh, so this series is going to hurt me, I guess.
Really liked this one, which introduces more characters and includes more worldbuilding, giving the reader some idea of what state alchemists do and why some people have compelling reasons to hate them. I already found the elements of moral ambiguity interesting, because I like reading about characters with troubled pasts and some chaotic good tendencies, and the context of the civil war adds more moral gray area and conflict.
Also, the subplot with Nina and Alexander is horrible and executed so well. I love/hate when I'm enjoying characters and realize that something bad is going to happen to them, but I've been lulled by the author and they've pulled me in too deep to back out.

Ohhhhh, I cried at this one. I always cry at the Nina story. *sigh*
The book continues to offer a great story and great artwork. And they're off to see Winry, next volume! :D

5 stars.
another great volume. I will say it is interesting to see how these characters were changed and adapted to the anime. I'm finding that Alphonse is a lot more aggressive in the manga. To see him threatening people and standing up to his brother more is actually something I wish they had added more to the anime since I did find he rolled over a lot.
I do also like to see the changes they've made and can understand why they made them. Things that work on paper don't always translate well to screen.

Me gustó mucho más que el primero, ya muestra más de lo oscuro que puede llegar a ser. Además de que estaba reviviendo el trauma con Nina. Se siguen introduciendo más personajes como el equipo de Roy que los amo. Havoc eres muy sexy te amo<3

After the first volume , I am glad I stuck along. This volume was amazing. It had everything , amazing moments that clearly proved not to take this world lightly. The arc with Dr. Tucker kept me in a state of horrific suspense. Surprisingly , I enjoyed the fight sequences to a great extent. The entry of the 's philosopher's stone, the Ishwarite's history the world this writer is building up is interesting.
This is one of the first times I felt a manga was able to portray subtle emotions (of horror or desperation) beautifully. The despair in the face of Dr. Tucker set the mood of the coming horror and the sudden shift of the scenario during Edward Elric's dream were amazing moments.
The only complain I have of the writer , not necessarily for this volume , is the character sketch of Lust. Unlike gluttony , her behavior sans her looks does not match up to the sin she is portraying. I would have loved this series even more if I writer was able to show that or surprised me by his interpretation of lust. Right now she is just a amazing villain nothing lustful in her except her looks (which I find to be very juevenille attempt to show her as LUST).
