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, .ofstars./CAWPILE., kind of slow and boring since Ed's arm is messed up, sigh, I absolutely adore this series,.stars
Most of the scenes are same as the anime, but are extended or in a slightly different order,
I really liked Riza dealing with Barry and Roy being irritated with Barry,
Mei Changs introduction was different what a sweetheart! and then ling and his servants "I no speak this country language!" i love this series so much and reading it always makes me feel happy !! this volume was especially good, including but not limited to:
learning more about the sins
lieutenant hawkeye being a badass as always
a killer plot twist!!
the death of a character that i liked rip
the introduction of a new character named may!! shes tiny but very powerful and she has a little panda that emotes with her and that i love very much
my wife winry
winry yelling at ed for ruining her automail again this always makes me chuckle
paninya!! okay yes i simp for every female character what about it Dopo il triste epilogo della banda iniziano a saltar fuori gli altarini.
Intanto, tipi strani sono arrivati da Xing In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor.
Equipped with mechanical "automail" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his brother's bodies, . . the legendary Philosopher's Stone.
The raid on the Devil's Nest becomes a slaughter, as government troops led by the Fuhrer President himself, King Bradley exterminate the halfhuman forces of the Homunculus Greed.
But will Ed and Al survive the battle unchanged As Greed is sent to meet his maker, foreign travelers arrive in Amestris, having crossed the great desert from the eastern country of Xing.
Their names are Mei and Ling, and they've come for the Philosopher's Stone, . . and a secret even the Elric brothers never imagined, . . Ummm. Wrath! What! Ling Yao is hilarious Definitely a very dark beginning for Volume, After the huge plot twist at the end of Volumethe rest of the fall out occurs in the start of Volume, Its very dark and very sinister and while some pieces of the puzzle have fallen into place many more questions remain unanswered, I also thought the soldiers at the beginning wondering who wasnt human the chimeras and Greed or the alchemists and King Bradley was very illuminating of where things are in the series right now.
The plot lightens up a bit after that as several new characters and a whole new country! gets introduced in the form of Xing.
A country that uses a different form of alchemy that is more focused on the healing arts, and as a result thinks of alchemy in a very different way from the warcentric Amestris.
Some very humorous scenes commence, especially the ones with the little girl Mei and her reaction on learning about Edward, the Fullmetal Alchemist,
Volumewas definitely a turning point in the series as new characters, new countries and a whole new viewpoint is brought into the manga.
The moments of darkness offset with scenes of humor and witty banter that are true throughout the series really come to play in this volume.
Another winning chapter in the Fullmetal Alchemist saga, Como era de suponerse King Bradley sabe mucho más de lo que deja salir a la vista, y puede que sea uno de los principales involucrados en asuntos turbios del ejército tal como lo fue la muerte de Hughes.
Así mismo, conocemos al “padre”, o séase, el creador de los homúnculos cuyos nombres son iguales que los pecados capitales y no sé por qué, pero me da la espina de que él es el padre de los hermanos Elric, aquel que los abandonó cuando eran apenas unos niños.
En la segunda mitad del volumen conocemos a un par de extranjeros que también desean conocer sobre la alquimia o en su defecto, encontrar la piedra filosofal.
Lo cual me parece interesante pues dependiendo del país donde uno resida, es la percepción que se tiene acerca de la manipulación y transmutación de elementos.
Fullmetal Alchemist continúa siendo una serie llena de comedia, acción y ciertamente, añade temas que no creo que sean tan amables para chiquillos de secundaria.
Sin embargo, se vuelve tan adictivo que uno devora un capítulo tras otro,
Este volumen incluye los capítulos,

I'll wait.
Back Done giggling/wondering what's wrong with me Okay, now for the volume eight character review!
There are a lot of people I'd love to cover, and some of them I don't want to mention until later, to save some spoilers for those who haven't yet read any/all of the books but do intend to do so, so after much deliberation, I've settled on Maes Hughes.
Lieutenant Colonel Hughes works for military intelligence, He lives, however, for his wife and daughter, to the point of annoying everyone around him with his effusive praiseand frequent photo sharingof them.
He's also Roy Mustang's closest friend and strong supporter, incredibly fond of the Elric brothers, generous, kind, deceptively intelligent, and a skilled knifefighter,
Like so many others, he served his time in the war with Ishbal and, although not guilty of the wholesale slaughter committed by State Alchemists, he fired his share of bullets and was complicit in the murder of an incompetent superior officer.
He was also good for keeping morale up and liaising between the regular soldiers and the alchemiststhe former of whom were as terrified of the latter as the Ishballans were.
Following a specific moment in the war, he was completely disillusioned by his country, Consequently, he and Mustang decided to work toward changing it so that more young men and women couldn't be forced into becoming murderers,
Maes is among the most popular characters in the entire run of the series, very likely because there is passion, dedication, loyalty, and a fierce desire to better life to everyone buried beneath a doofy exterior, and he can flip between the two with absolutely no warning.
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, Volumeof Fullmetal Alchemist is the first firm step on the road that leads the manga away from the plot developments of the first anime series.
It introduces characters and a new way of doing alchemy that weren't shown in the first series but are shown in Brotherhood,
First and foremost there is the kingdom of Xing which is looking for the secret of immortality, Competing half siblings, Prince Ling Yao and Princess May Chan come across the border on separate quests to find a gift that will make their clan immortal and therefore the strongest of all the Xing clans.
Meanwhile, Ed after all his doubts about his past, regains his memories, With them comes the certainty that he and Al must continue to look for a way to undo their mistakes, There's also an added urgency that he might be a ticking time bomb, How long, he wonders, can a soul stay separate from a body before both begin to rot
This volume includes a map of Amestris and the surrounding countries.
Amestris like Baum's Oz is placed in the center of things, with four countries, one in each of the cardinal directions and a desert or wasteland area separating of them from Amestris.
Central, the capital, sits in the middle just like the Emerald City, Just as the Wizard was a false leader, so of course is Bradley, except he won't leave in a balloon if he's asked nicely, 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,

Official blog: sitelink com/ Arakawa keeps introducing a slew of new characters every volume, but fortunately she keeps killing off the old ones so I don't feel overwhelmed.
At least one of those deaths is pretty rough though as the bad guys become increasingly ruthless, Balanced against all the slapstick in other sections, this series is seeming more like a Coen Brothers movie each volume, se cruje los nudillos
Ay, lo que me ha gustado esto desde el primer momento, La premisa es interesantísima: dos hermanos han trangredido los límites de sus habilidades y eso ha provocado que uno pierda su brazo y su pierna y el otro el cuerpo entero Moraleja: NO DEJÉIS A LOS NIÑOS SOLOS.
Y, aunque te lo cuentan así, es después cuando van construyendo toda la historia de trasfondo y contexto,
Uno de sus puntos fuertes son los personajes, Ed es encantadoramente agresivo, no tanto como para no empatizar con él, Al es un solecito y no deja que te olvides de que sólo tieneaños.
Mustang. MUSTANG, ESTOY ENAMORADO DE TI, Bueno, no, espera. Izumi. Lo siento, Mustan, pero me quedo con Izumi, es maravillosa, Winry es genial. Hawkeye es genial. Hughes ni olvido ni perdón es genial, Los villanos son geniales.es divertidísimo, Envy intrigante, Lust da muy mal rollo, Gluttony da muy mal rollo, Scar es interesante, . .
Otro punto fuerte son los arcos, Va intercambiando arcos de aparente transición para presentarte personajes o ahondar en flashbacks, con acción y aventuras que, en un par de ocasiones, derivan en un dramote de aúpa que saca las lágrimas Nina, otro ni olvido ni perdón.
Se hacen tan amens que a veces ni siquiera distingues el final de un arco con el inicio del siguiente hasta que el personaje lo verbaliza.
Me creo los intereses románticos, Son tradicionales, como se pueden ver en cualquier otro manga, pero es que están bien construidos, No tengo la necesidad de señalar al personaje adyacente que tiene más química con el prota que el interés romántico del prota para decir la obvia realidad: Winry y Edward son perfectos, Mustang y Hawkeye son perfectos.
La maestra y su esposo son perfectos, Hacía mucho que no topaba con ese tipo de "toppings" ajenos a la trama principal que fuesen tan interesantes o entretenidos,
En fin, que me ha gustado muchísimo más de lo que me esperaba inicialmente y es muy muy recomendable, Me encanta que haya nuevos personajes, más revelaciones, y su vez más misterio
Y creo que éste es el volumen con el que más me reí hasta ahora XD Gah, another epic plot twist I did NOT see coming!! I mean, I got the feeling one specific character was pretty bad to the bone so to speak, but I didn't realize HOW bad.
Very shocked, but in a good way, though I definitely DON'T like his character! Plus, something tragic happens to another character and was pretty bummed because I really liked that character.
We get to meet some new characters though and really enjoyed how one of them is going to bring some good humor! I feel she is going to be SORELY disappointed when she realizes that her imagination is not going to meet reality.
The other guy seems pretty cool! I'm hoping he is a good guy
Really enjoyed the action in this one and how the story continues to go ever forward! Though I will confess that this one had surprisingly a lot more blood in it and was really bummed more people died in this one, even though it definitely reflects on one character purposely.
I'm nervously excited for the next volume! I don't recommend reading volume eight right after the previous one, You have to let the steam off first before reading this, Volumestarts 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, Fantastik ögeler olur da ölümsüzlük olmaz mı Özellikle fantastik ögelerin bulunduğu neredeyse her kitapfilm gibi şeyde ölümsüzlük mutlaka kendine yer buluyor, daha doğrusu ölümsüzlük hırsıyla yanıp tutuşanlar.
bu seride de bu tür kişilerin sayısı giderek artıyor, umarım bu artış böyle devam etmez, seride kendini tekrara sebep olur.
Onun dışında güzel bir ciltti, yeni katılan karakterlerin seriye baya renk katacağını düşünüyorum, Winry and Edward are the cutest thing ever
this gif is not actually from this volume, but it's just so darn cute, I can't.
