A review by dakotach7
Fullmetal Alchemist: Fullmetal Edition, Vol. 10 by Hiromu Arakawa

dark emotional sad tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes

5.0

This was incredible, I really appreciated the insight into Ishval, both from the Ishvalan and Amestrian perspectives. It's also amazing how much more there is on the Ishvalan war in the manga as opposed to the anime.

For example, learning more about the Rockbells' role in helping aid anyone, regardless of race, and how even though we know Scar murdered them, they probably would've been killed by the military anyways. Additionally, really seeing more of how much human experimentation was really occurring, like what Dr. Knox was having to do, agh. This was just such a horrifying volume, and I'm glad to have read it. So many parallels to real life wars and scientific progress.
