Fullmetal Alchemist ch 80: Scar's soft and mushy inside...

[meganbmoore]

...or at least, what passes as such for Scar.

Naturally, the little twit immediately ruined it by listening to Envy and running off to central, which will no doubt result in her requiring rescueing. I will not give her TSTL status for that as she's only around 10-12 or so, maybe 13, but the only things that made her tolerable to me were scenes with Scar and her being smart, analytical and observant(just also really observant.) I have no doubt Scar or Al will end up saving her from her stupidity, but she flushed most of what made her tolerable down the toilet not 10 pages after this scene.

But there was compensation in the form of an Armstrong Family Reunion of Awesomeness, Hawkeye's handling of her "political hostage who knows too much" situation and Hohenheim, Soup Kitchen Man. (Sadly, there was also Rose, but I am trying to remind myself that the manga version has never done anything to annoy me, just the anime version.) Oh, and the great last page...

Quick question: The library has these, I think, so I'm dropping by on my way home to pick up the first. Do I need to read these backwards or something? Or do they read like regular comics? I honestly can't tell from here...

backwards.

I think Viz still puts little reading guides on what would normally be the first page.
