A review by bdesmond
Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 11, by Hiromu Arakawa
4.0
I am finally back on the train with FMA, and I have this new translation to thank for that. The translation I was reading for the few volumes before this was abysmal, and totally ripped me out of the story. This one is much, much better and has reignited my enthusiasm for the story. Hopefully I've shaken off the stall.
This volume dives more into the background of what happened to Edward and Alphonse's bodies, as the boys make a discovery that leads to the conclusion that they can get Al's body back; that none of this has been for naught. The end of volume 10 ends with a surprising appearance from a character I wanted to see for a bit, and he actually catalyzes Ed's discovery, thus providing the boys this information. Though, his visit does end in a rather foreboding manner..
I'm back in the swing of things and ready to go with volume 12; this one ended right in the middle of some action.
