Please tell me if I’m doing something wrong here :sweat_smile: Also my English sometimes is just 変, feel free to correct me here too.
Gaiden is 8 pages and omake is 1 and a half so I squeezed them in the last week. If it’s too much we can take a longer break afterwards.
Also I wanted to include chapter’s cover in the week’s announcement post, but they can be kinda spoilery and in HagaRen they are usually not the first page of the chapter :thinking:

Having Ed just absent himself from the story for a few chapters by going “oh whoops, I forgot I had to run an errand” is… mildly awkward. :stuck_out_tongue:

I googled trivia about names of new characters. They are named after brands of fine liquor :woman_shrugging:

So, I assume the WC on the slippers means these are her toilet slippers, but why’s she gone outside wearing them? Kinda wondering if there’s a deleted panel or two showing that she’s trying to avoid having Sig tag along by pretending to use the toilet, but sneaking out the window instead, but as it currently stands, there’s no apparent reason why she wouldn’t be wearing her usual outdoor shoes.

Nooo idea.
So I checked the anime:


and then google. FMA wiki says she always wears them (and some sources - that it lends more to the fact that she is “just a housewife”).
Need to check every panel with her from now on :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

So I somehow messed up my scheduling and ended up reading all of volume 7 lol
Comments on chapter 27:

This is a fairly lay back kidnapping. I wonder how they will deal with greed, since a mallet to the head I would think would kill anyone else

2 Likes

Mostly because the kidnappee also feels he has something to be gained from the kidnapping. And also he’s not particularly afraid of the kidnappers. :slightly_smiling_face:

Didn’t anyone ever tell Al that the negative is よくない?

Also, that horn sticking Greed in the forehead…


There is a meme with these two shaking hands, but it comes from somewhat later in the story. And I’m not sure how popular it ever got as a meme.

I was looking at this いくない for a whole minute thinking what’s going on here :sweat_smile:

I’m not sure when I’ll return to my PC, so I’m posting a bit earlier.

Well, I did remember this plot twist from when I watched Brotherhood all those years ago, but it is still pretty cool. Greed really stands no chance now
