Well seeing as how lively the boards are in this club, I decided to break the ice, after some inspiration.

So. Someone would ask why to do a thread for manga and not an anime? Thats easy, because its about manga. Many would wonder "is it not the same stuff?" But no. Fullmetal alchemist manga is nothing like its anime counter-part. And yes, its still ongoing.

All of this began few years ago(5 or 6), when i finally finished watching this anime. What happened is that I accidentally stumbled on manga. And oh boy, how I was surprised to find out that it differs greatly from its anime counterpart.

And here am I now, 6 hours after reading the newest chapter(which is 74). And the very hard question appeared in my mind: Am I only one who is enjoying this greatness called Fullmetal alchemist manga? I hope not...

So, Chapter 74 gave us many very interesting revelations. But these revelations brought on even more questions. So first:




P.S. I would be very happy that important stuff would be put into spoiler code. It would help if some innocent little anime-only person would stumble in to ask something.

Great to have someone who took the initiative of making a discussion topic on the FMA fanclub! ^^

I read the manga as well, but I buy them, so I'm not as far as you are.

The last one I have is volume 13 (chapter 53), so I still need to read on before I can join the discussion (or at least start poundering around with you :P ).

Well but we still have some common "end" questions, like:

Whats beyond the Gate?
What is Ed's Father?
Who was that "knowledge/god/universe" who is beyond the Gate?
How Humununculi are created?
Why That guy at the end of 53

What exactly is Scar's Arm?

There are many questions, to whom we won't know answers till the end of manga.

I both buy and read it online. It is kinda hard to get it on where I live, so I buy it just for pure support and collection purposes.

Actually...the plot is different. There's no Dante, there's no "two worlds" and world history is a bit different.

The plot separates from anime nearly from beginning - as although some events still happen, they happen in different order and have different consequences.

Just read chapter 83 :) It's awesome as always :p A lot happened this time, but first thing first:
It's sad that it was so short and now I have to wait another month :/

PS. The best quote ever: "I'm not short! I just live in a big world, goddamit!" ROTFL XDDDDDD

In the beginning anime was my favourite. But then I read manga, and anime became nothing special :) I still like it, but it's nothing compared to manga :)

I completely agree with you, viesiu. The anime is amazing, but the manga is even better. :D

Just read chapter 83 as well.

Izumi Curtis doing her thing around the mountain- she always owns! I buy the manga and read it online- I am very unfamiliar with the anime though, but that doesn't bother me. Everyone (the characters) was going on about that Day referred to in the spoiler (the one 2 posts before mine), which was quite intriguing. Arakawa is a brilliant manga-ka, It's a shame I didn't buy volume 12 when I could have, they are out of stock where I go now! I don't/can't buy stuff online so I'm gonna have a hole in my manga collection for a little while!

I was totally a fan of the anime before I read the manga. I am up through chapter 85 and boy are things starting to get interesting. The manga is totally different from the show and that is why I love it so much. Don't get me wrong I still like the show, but the manga is sooooooooo much better.

Can't wait to see how they are going to end it.

I love the manga! Yeah, I realized that it differs greatly from the anime. I buy the manga. My computer is too slow to read the manga online. I don't like Bradley. I don't like Sloth, either.

I have the manga up until Vol. 16. I'm on Vol. 13.

Surely, the anime butchered the manga plot. That's all I can say.

Roy's good, but he totally ruined his reputation in chap 94 ansd 95
Chap 96 is awesome, but lonely without Envy. i will go down on my knees to beg Arakawa to resurrect Envy if i can!
