Fullmetal Alchemist ch 1-12 | Non-spoiler review and spoiler deep dive

despite the synopsis making it seem like it would be incredibly tragic and sad this story is one of the funniest of all time this is a reread for me i've always loved the humor in the series and then picking it up again has just solidified why i love it so much

the brothers are great the love they have for one another that i want to be there for you i'll do anything for you but no i don't want you to do anything for me because you have to let me be my own person and those sorts of themes are done so well and again just within those first two volumes you are going to get introduced to them and this bond that they have with one another because it's done so well
