A review by jinjan
Fullmetal Alchemist (3-In-1 Edition), Vol. 5 by Hiromu Arakawa

dark emotional sad

These volumes are the most gruesome & gory of the series so far & I loved every page of it. Volume 13 truly feels like the turning point of the series. The camera goes wide & we start to get a sense of the magnitude of the plot. The villains are starting to be uncovered and its interesting to see how our heroes react to just how far reaching the influence of the homunculi goes. Volume 15 is a flashback and serves as both backstory and a way to reinforce the scale of the plot. I loved delving into Roy & Riza's past & getting to know the reasons why they continue to serve in the military.
