The one advantage manga has over superhero comics is that many manga are planned out as a complete story with an ending from the beginning - I know that this one is actually almost to the end of its arc, and the next few issues are rumored to be the last. (Which simultaneously makes me excited, because: ACTUAL CONCLUSION, and sad, because: once it's done, there is no more! D:)

I'm a bit further in the anime that's based on the manga than I am in the manga itself, and so far it doesn't seem to be falling down in this at all. Once it's all done I will definitely be posting about it as a whole, and let you know whether I think it holds up all the way! As for where it is right now, at least, I'd highly, highly recommend it.

(Another superhero-related note: while there is no spandex, there are characters who are prone to losing their shirts A LOT. Some of them do it as a side effect of their alchemy attacks! Sometimes, people stare at them as they battle evil and go "Yes, very impressive, but WHY ARE YOU NAKED?" Sometimes, they sparkle. I merely comment, nothing more.)
