As you probably know, the FMA sub-sub board is locked and soon to be deleted, so I got the ok to start new FMA threads in the Anime board. For more info about the sub-sub board being deleted go here. Anyway, this thread is for discussion of the manga ONLY. I would personally prefer if spoilers (things that haven't been released yet in english) were put it spoiler brackets ( [ spoiler ] [/spoiler ] without the spaces), but that's not really my choice, we can all figure it out as we post. Now, post away fellow FMA fans!

The manga is 100 times better than the anime.

The manga is 100 times better than the anime. I agree! My friend who wanted to know what we were reading decided to read the first book of the series. After that she spent a hundred dollars on the first ten books. Just a story I wanted to share with you

Seriously, I"m in love with the manga. The anime is very good too, especially since the anime and manga went in different directions. The manga, though, is just getting soo good! Not only do I read the newly released chapters every month online, I buy the volumes when they come to the store.

Don't worry Dan, you'll get used to it, I swear! (and they your head hurts when you read those few manga that are printed "forwards")
I got volume 15 recently, it was AWESOME.

Heh.
I just went to B&N during my lunch break to pick up the next couple. They only had like 6-15 >=|
They had the art books there too. I was so close to getting one, but I thought naw.... people think I'm strange as it is. I don't need that laying around the house.

I stopped reading the manga at around seven or eight, since my source was cut off. I like that Chinese dude with the ponytail who follows Ed around.

I was readint it, then at about CH 20 I stopped because the Anime started again. They are so different that I did not want to get confused, but I luvs it! I cant really judge which one I like better yet, but they are really both cool. Yeah, I got to the Chinese people too, and they started picking fights

Dang, I keep blazing through these so fast. I'm up to Volume 5. I read a few scans of 5 online, but as always, I intend to go out and buy it. I think I will have to start buying 5 volumes at a time, lol. I love the side stories and extra art she does.

I finished volume 9 about a month ago. I love it, but it's tough reading so many mangas at once. When I finally catch up to One Piece (when I'm 50....), then FMA is back on my reading list.
I like Hawkeye sooo much better in the manga for some reason...

Yeah, Hawkeye definitely kicks more a** in the manga, probably because she has more background and personality. She's one of the more interesting characters.
And I know what you mean. I'm in the middle of about...20 different mangas because my brother keeps buying new ones or gets bored of the ones we're already in the middle of. But somehow I'm managing, although it sucks when I have to re-read ten volumes just to know what's happening.

LOL. Slow day at work yesterday. Really slow. I just read volumes 5-9 online. OMG Hohenheim is controlling the homunculi behind the scenes?

Dan, just keep reading. lol I read the chapters when they come out in Japan (scanlated of course). Sucks that the new chapters release one every month. But most of the time, it's worth the wait.
