I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
With this whole series. Even if I did only pick it up again because Al! I should be rereading Chasing the Dragon which I love, and which I told Nicholas Kaufman I would, but my head hurts, and Al hurts it less. (Focusing on the text was not working for me now so manga because illustrations. Yay!)
Also, Black Hayate, Hawkeye's dog, goes 'shoop.' I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a sound, or a wiggle movement, or what, but he's given the order to stay with someone, and goes, 'shoop', and I went awwwwww!
Also, Al is adorable, Ed is angry when people call him short, and Mustang is noble. Pretty much, it's all the characters doing everything you loved, but just more of it. This makes me so excited it's not funny.
I don't even care that I misplaced all the Rob Thurman books I should be reading after Kaufman's books. No fucks given, in fact. I just want more FMA. The extra with Al and Ed in reversed positions was one of the funniest things I've read in this run, too!
Looking forward to getting on with this series.
