Review: Fullmetal Alchemist, chapter 104

[nebroadwe]

Eek. I didn't see THAT coming. Aren't the good guys supposed to have rescued the damsel in distress, killed the bad guy, and saved the world before matters reach this point? Ye gods!

I love Arakawa's plotting. I love how she upends my expectations. I can hardly wait to see what clever trick she's slipped up somebody's sleeve next.

Further discussion, with spoilers, over here.

ETA: And now it occurs to me that chapter 105 will emerge blinking into the light in the middle of Lent, when I usually give up reading fiction. Dagnabit.

Grarp. Fixed. It just leads back to my comments on your post -- might as well send everyone where the action is. :-)

hahahah, I wondered if you were sending people there. \o/
