I really like this manga. The artwork is fantastic, and the tone is the perfect combination of funny and sad. The things that happen in the Fullmetal Alchemist universe are quite emotionally heavy (losing an arm and a leg to save your brother is pretty gruesome), but they have this cute slapstick humour and aww-worthy brotherly moments to prevent the books from being depressing.

These are addicting, and I forgotten how sad this volume is.
