So apparently today is Arakawa's birthday, so Happy Birthday to the most talented, wonderful bovine ever. ♥
Also with a few pages out of 107 it looks like the chapter might come out today. It still hasn't hit me that there is only this chapter and one more. While I am sort of excited about seeing the story all come together, I am also in denial about the manga ending. What am I going to do without my monthly FMA fix. I am going to need a support group
Anyways this chapter has the most beautiful perfect cover page
This picture illustrates perfectly just what FMA is about. It's not about Ed, it's not about Al, it's not about Roy, it's not about your favorite character. It's about all the characters & I have come to love them all. That is what makes FMA for me one of the best stories I have ever read (manga or otherwise). The FMA world is so rich not just because Arakawa created so many countries but because she made me care about the characters in these countries.
At first I thought Winry was missing but then I see her wrench in the lower corner. ♥
So yes I am sad that my absolute favorite manga is coming to an end but what a wonderful journey it was.
