review 1: The very first thing I noticed when picking up my copy of Volume 18 is how differently Ed is drawn on the cover. He is growing up! I also noticed throughout the volume that several of the characters are being drawn just a bit older than they were before. Many of their actions als...

review 1: I have to admit that I didn't care for this instalment quite as much. It wasn't bad - but it didn't stand out. I find with this series I'm either blown away or kind of 'meh' about each volume. There's a lot of set up here as everyone gets organizes for the finals few chapters in ...

review 1: Finally part of Hohenheim's role in the story is revealed - and I love the part that tells his backstory.This story never let's you rest. There is so much goign on and still it never feels as if Arakawa-sensei forgets about characters or stories. I love the way the plot thickens ...

review 1: While this antepenultimate volume does feature some great action, like the previous ones, the true goal of this volume is to bring the major characters together for the final confrontation. As such, the plot movement gets in the way of character development sidelining most of our...
