The story moves along at a quick pace, and I pretty much love it anytime Isumi appears in this series (despite initial appearances of what happens to her at the end of this volume). And, as an added bonus her husband makes an appearance. Edward, Al and Roy are hardly in this installment, but that should not affect anyone's enjoyment of the tale. the story does look like it is headed for its conclusion. One the last manga series translations that I am reading (wait with Inu Yasha and Code Geass having just ended this might be the last one I'm reading). I hate how they're waiting 6 months in between releases! Gosh, that infuriates me! Why not two or three?Anyway, I liked the action between Lin/Greed, Foo, and Bradly; that whole seen was my favorite part. The only thing I really didn't like: not enough about Edward's side of the battle, or Al's. Still, it was really good.6/9/11: Haha, they aren't waiting as long anymore! Volume 25 came out on the 7th of this month and Volume 26 is coming in September, followed by the final volume in December!
