Winry continues to be the best. It's great when she begins to realize her true worth: "I guess I have people who are waiting for me to come back too." But what I love about this series is that every character develops into a full, changing, conflicted character. Even Scar, who has seemed completely unfeeling, is affected by his encounter with Winry: "Do my eyes...look like that too? No matter how far I travel down this road, will hatred only give birth to more hatred?"

4 stars.

I loved this volume as well. I'm so interested in learning more about the homunculus and all of the "sins". I hate Ed and Alphonse's dad. I'm very suspicious of him and also his showing up after 10 years. I love Riza and Roy. My heart breaks for the Elric brothers and their teacher for the realization that they discovered, but I'm glad that some of the guilt that they were carrying lessened. I wonder what is going to happen now that Mustang and Ed know about the Fuhrer-president. I also want to learn more about Scar and his backstory.
