FMA manga (spoilers!)

[Timmay]

Chapter 54 raw is out!!!

Hoenheim is not father! Father pours Philosopher stones out of his head! Ling gets turned into greed! Ed and Al get owned by Envy! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

FMA continues to not go a single chapter without dropping 50 bombs on you..

That third thing you said there has me anticipating this the most. Still no new news on who Pride is though? Damn, I can't wait to find out who that bastard is.

[Timmay]

I think one of the things about Pride is that he doesn't want to come out until it's absolutely necessary. Though I'm really interested in what's going to happen to Mustang's group, and Wrath's backstory was incredible.

The last two chapters have really solidfied my current stance that the manga is way better than the anime.

Wow, I am not exactly clear on what's going on, but man...

How should we feel about Ling being Greed? It seems pretty badass, but at the same time kind of sad. Did he purposely aim for Ling becoming the new Greed, or what?

[Timmay]

Translation out!

Father decided instead of killing Ling to see if he could survive accepting his Greed. Ling becomes Greed, and what's more is that he GIVES his body to Greed.. he actually accepted being turned into Greed and appears to be just Greed in a new body without the memories of before.. Apparently Father is like the God of all Alchemy, he doesn't appear to be human, repeatedly talking down about humanity, and Envy saying something about how humans think it's their own power that allows them to create their prosperity. I'm hoping for clarity next month >_> <_<
