During this time, she also created dōjinshi manga with her friends and drew yonkoma for a magazine.

Too many ”cases” (problems) to resolve – I would prefer one but long, deep and poignant – but just the fact that there were alchemists in the storyline was something unique and I wish to discover more about them.Hiromu Arakawa ( 荒川弘, Arakawa Hiromu, born May 8, 1973) is a Japanese manga artist. There was a good enough backstory but too short! Very little detail! I’m going to assume, though, that there will be more in the sequels. This is something that I think can be interesting but NOT in a first volume! Edward and his brother, however, were fun to follow on their ”adventures”. But there were too many characters that appeared and then disappeared… no time to get attached. Nonetheless, the world-building in this book too wasn’t bad either. Because the characters and drawings and world-building are extraordinary. 01 which, until it became too repetitive, used to be my F-A-V-O-R-I-T-E manga series.
