I am glad that I randomly picked this up after seeing this series on shelves and lists for "must read" manga series.
I am seriously loving this series so far (I am about half way through the second 3 in 1). I love the characters of Edward and Alphonse. The story is touching, upsetting, intense, and funny all at once. I think Arakawa nails a perfect balance here.
