Week 5 (特別編+おまけ) is short, we can have no break afterwards if it’s too easy. But I usually struggle with handwriting stuff

So, fun fact: this chapter was the final one that was adapted for the original 2003 anime series. I mean, granted there had already been significant diversions from the plot before this point, but after this, it strikes out completely on its own.
After all this trouble spent getting Al’s memories back, it mildly frustrates me that basically nothing comes of it (except that he can now perform alchemy by clapping his hands, same as Ed and Izumi, though as he disappears from the story for a while, we won’t get to see him do it for another hundred pages).
Love that “missing person” poster at the bottom of page 44. And the Hawkeye/Barry interactions amuse me too.

Ah, I was wondering if he could do this truck with clapping now. Nice!
Hawkeye/Barry are funny for me too. Romantic!
