I love the little 'extra scene' section at the end of each volume so much.

I really like this one because there was very little Ed, and I don't care about Ed.

Me: is their father the leader of the bad guys? He looks really similar.
Stephanie : honestly, you wouldn't believe me if I told you.
Me : is he like... his twin brother that he ate in the womb?
Stephanie : I mean, you're KIND of on the right track. ..

Çok önemli gerçekler ortaya çıktı, bu Elric kardeşleri nasıl etkileyecek merak ediyorum. Loud'un başına gelenleri keyifle okudum, artık böyle bir hamle gerekiyordu seriye. Seri şimdilik çok güzel ilerliyor.

This volume was so good as it finally delves into the war between the sins and some military members and well Roy gets injured but then we have him fighting List and we learn a little about Philosophers stone and all. The fight ends with a big win but they have to recover.

Somewhere else we see what the sins plans are. Ed and Armstrong go to Resembool to see their friend Maria alive and what all led to saving her which was such a genius twist and the whole explanations and meeting with the Ishbalan people was quite gut wrenching
And then the end wow.

This volume just made this manga so much better for me and just shows the stakes and people involved in it. Plus I live the art and the shading especially. The twists keep on coming and the drama on both sides will only increase with elements from here.

I really enjoyed this installment of the Fullmetal Alchemist series. The story moved along nicely while leaving room for emotional development, and it had a nice optimistic section at the end.

This volume includes one of the most intense and game-changing battles so far. I usually skim through the fight scenes, but this one kept my attention and stuck with me long after I finished the book. There is some good character development, especially with Mustang. And of course, there’s a healthy dose of random humor. The conspiracies continue to deepen and have me eager to read the next book.

La lotta tra Mustang e Lust mi ha stordita！Temevo davvero che Havoc fosse morto！Invece Mustang riesce non solo a salvare loro due,.ma riesce anche a uccidere l'omuncola！Fuori una！Ho adorato particolarmente il Colonnello in questo volume！Finalmente, come avevo il sospetto, ci viene rivelato che in realtà Maria Ross non è stata uccisa, ma Mustang ha elaborato un piano per fingere la morte della donna e portarla in un luogo sicuro. La gioia！Mustang davvero mi sta piacendo ad ogni volume sempre di piú.

Come se questa rivelazione non fosse stata giá scioccante....Ed torna alla sua cittá natale e incontro il padre. Padre che ricordiamo ha abbandonato lui e Al, portando la moglie a lavorare duramente per provvedere alla famiglia. I brividi gente. I brividi. Mi sono cosí tanto affezionata a questi personaggi che davvero alla vista del padre dei ragazzi ho provato io stessa una rabbia cieca. Tutto quello che è accaduto ai fratelli è in buona parte stato causato proprio da quest'uomo. Sono davvero curiosa di capire le motivazioni che l'hanno portato ad abbandonare la famiglia.

This might be the best volume yet?! It definitely had some of the most interesting and engaging plot progression, that's for sure! It had heart, but was also very clever and kept me on my toes. I'm happy with how everything's turning out thus far - I was more than a little worried about some of the characters and where their plotlines were going, not going to lie!

Also are Edward and Winry actually cousins?!?! Cause I totally thought they were just childhood friends... (and I might have been shipping them rather hardcore this entire time. ;/)

I've been really enjoying the last few volumes of this series. There's been a really good (almost perfect) balance of humour, action, and heart-felt/heart-wrenching scenes throughout all of the volumes, but I've really been noticing it in the last few in particular.
