A review by rebeccacider
Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1 by Hiromu Arakawa
4.0
Picked this up on a whim, based on favorable reviews. I enjoyed it quite a bit for an action/adventure manga (a genre that's fun but not my favorite thing ever). The setting and characters are intriguing and well-conceived and the art is really exceptional.
I do frequently think while reading manga, "I bet that sentence was less awkward in Japanese," but of course panel art and speech bubbles limit translation.
I'm happy that Hiromu Arakawa's Goodreads photo is a cow illustration; I'm afraid to look her up on Wikipedia because I want to forever imagine her as a cow lady per the book!
