Manga's not really my thing--no more addictions, I don't have time to nurture the ones I've already acquired, darn it!--but the fact that the genre has produced a story which does step up to the plate and take a hard look at these consequences makes me very happy, in an intellectually satisfied sort of way.

And it's always through self-sabotage, that is, the big story arc suddenly spits out a bizarre characterization or event that thoroughly derails the examination of the issue and then the genre resorts to type while weakly mewling that it is doing something New and Relevant. If FMA does not do that--please to be keeping me updated?!--then, man, I'd read that in an instant. Errr, if I had time, that is...
