omggggggg

Another volume with an intriguing reveal for the homunculi's creator that adds more questions to the overarching plot regarding these evil creatures and their mission regarding the Philosopher's stone. The rest of it introduces us to two new and mysterious characters from the country of Xing who have a particular interest in the stone as well. While mostly a setup for things to come, it was an engaging story arc that promises a lot of great things to come.

MAN oh man I'm such trash for this series but I'm kind of running out of things to say about each volume because I'm reading them so quickly. The pacing is really excellent and I'm a big fan of the art style. The characters in general are awesome and I love that there is plot twist after plot twist. It's great!

I don't recommend reading volume eight right after the previous one. You have to let the steam off first before reading this. Volume 8 starts a new arc, even expanding the FMA world as Arakawa introduces characters from the east, oriental region of Xing, this of course is implied to be China.

The payoff in the Greed arc was totally awesome, so I also have high hopes for this one.

If this was a television show, this volume would be a good candidate for the start of the second season. We had a finale with an ominous fight (more a massacre, really), the first look at the main antagonist, a whole boatload of eerie foreshadowing and new unanswered questions, and the brothers learned a few good lessons and took a crucial step or two towards their ultimate goal. Then on to a new season with the introduction of a new major character and a couple quirky sidekicks, and a new direction for the heroes to explore and look forward to. Even Scar is making a return.

It's also where the (first) anime makes its final and decisive deviation from the manga. I don't have too many good memories of the anime from this point on, which may have further enhanced my enjoyment of the manga as a contrast, a better alternative.

This was such a great volume and we have Bradley fighting Greed and saving the brothers and maybe finding their secrets and we come to know of his real nature. While Ed and Al return to Rush valley for repairs they are soon attacked by Ling Yao from the country of Xing and its a massive fight and some panels are gorgeous and it is this part we come to know of the country they live in aka AMESTRIA and its neighboring countries which will serve as antagonists in future maybe?

And finally we have the big revelations, reunions and there's an epilogues that sets up a future arc maybe in New Hiessgast. That one was weird but okayish.

This volume was a lot of fun with so many cool fight scenes, brotherly moments and finally getting to know more about this world and future threats and also seeing the Ouroboros/Sins and their "secrets" which just turns the series around for the better. I loved this one. And the art is gorgeous some funny scenes especially.

Hawkeye is amazing, and no one is ever going to be a scary as Izumi.

Every review I put up for each volume in this series is just gonna be me going I LOVE THIS SERIES.

Por cada tomo que voy leyendo, más me está gustando este manga. Pronto llegaré a la parte donde lo "abandoné" en su momento por la traducción. Asimismo, la historia me parece que sigue muy bien hilada ( por el momento, igual luego me llevo una sorpresa para mal), Alphonse es mi protegido. Es un amor. Solo quiero abrazarlo y decirle que todo va a ir bien. También para Winry y la alquimista del ejército son unos personajes muy buenos.

Yedi ölümcül günah temalı ekibin yaratıcısını bir başka üyesini görüyoruz. Bu üyenin zaten bildiğimiz bir karakter çıkması enteresan. Mevcut düzende bir şeylerin ters olduğu zaman zaman bize verilse de bu ciltte biraz suni hissettiren bir vurgu vardı. Sanki her şey ve herkes bu cildi beklemiş de olaylar öyle gelişmiş gibi oldu. Ed bir yandan Mustang başka bir yandan... Bunların dışında hikayeye çölleri aşıp Çin'den gelen karakterler eklendi. Nereye varacaklarını göreceğiz.

VALORACIÓN: 4'5 estrellas

En este tomo se introducen un montón de nuevos personajes. Algunos de ellos recuerdo que son bastante importantes para la trama, aunque tengo bastantes lagunas. La vuelta a Central me va a doler tanto como a los hermanos Elric y a Winry

3.5, kind of slow and boring since Ed's arm is messed up, sigh.
