I'm not sure. I think it's vol. 18. There not very far ahead of us. In Japan, they get a new chapter once a month, so it's slow.

Some things I've always wondered...especially now that I've started re-reading my manga from the beginning (after a weekend marathon of my newly bought boxsets)...
If Ed's a State Alchemist and a 'dog of the military'...how come he never wears a uniform?
And how does he get away with talking to his superior officer the way he does?
And how do Mustang and Havoc get away with their haircuts? Their hair falls into their eyes! They can't be regulation!!

Well, this is all speculation on my part, but:
If you take a look at some of the other state alchemists (ex. Tucker), they don't wear uniforms either. I think it has to do with whether or not you are a soldier as well (ex. Mustang, Armstrong). As a soldier, they have to wear uniforms, but the other alchemists are more like "researchers" who typically do their work either at home or (in Ed's case) while traveling.
I believe this has to do with Ed's age (he's young, and therefore they probably cut him some slack), his relationship with Mustang/Mustang's personality (Mustang always has the upper hand, therefore he has no reason to really care how Ed speaks to him), and his talent (the military doesn't want to push away someone with obvious talent who could be useful to them).
This I'm not really sure about. Maybe it's because they aren't in the front lines/near the action? Or possibly they just have relatively lax rules and since their hair doesn't completely block their vision it's ok.

Makes sense...but I guess if war broke out and Ed was called up to do his part he'd probably have to wear one then...hmmm...gives me a bit of a fanart idea there... It probably also has a lot with Roy LETTING him...he could easily pull him up on it...despite his arrogance it's pretty clear that he really cares about those two kids...that he protects them in a 'tough love' kind of way... Maybe it's just because it looks cool. And I guess Havoc's not really in the military anymore...

There IS something (I think it's a video game or OVA) where you get to see Ed in a uniform. I saw a screencap of it (somewhere). So cuuuute!
Anybody read the latest chapter? I read it on Onemanga. Can't remember the number though.

^LOL! Ed's dream finally became true!!
Gaaah...the Manga comes out so slowly! I have not gotten to read any FMA for...forever!
And, wow. That was a very realistic explination. o.o I would have just said, "For humor...And the fact that Ed's cape is totally awesome." xD

Does anyone know if 17 came out yet? 16 came out in March and the books come out every four months or so. I hate waiting.
