Love it. Onwards to the two dozen other volumes....
Messed up series man. No one warned me how messed up the plot gets. Real good but woah
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).

Complicated
we immediately start volume two with sad dog, a study of the human hubris and the limits of human morality when put under pressure. This volume is heavier than the first one, and we notice how Nina stays in the Elrics' consciousness for the rest of the series and how her character becomes a driving force in their journey. Very good, incredibly traumatizing.
