4.0
This volume really hits with the repercussions of the events of the volume before it yet it’s not entirely emotional and event fallout. There are new characters that keep certain things light though we don’t know their intentions fully yet. The handling with kids gloves approach that many characters have toward the Elric brothers in here makes the events here all the more impactful. Can’t wait for what’s next.

This volume deals mostly with the grief surrounding a key moment from prior volumes. The main characters are forced to grow up a bit because of it. There’s an interesting approach to that here. Well worth the read though it does feel a bit like a transitional volume leading to further big impact events.
