The greatest manga ever made. Arakawa's plotting is surgical — nothing wasted, every thread resolved, every character arc satisfying. The way it balances action, comedy, philosophy, and genuine emotional devastation is unmatched. Equivalent exchange isn't just alchemy. It's storytelling.

The Briggs soldiers are some of the best side characters in manga. Olivier Armstrong is who every female general character wishes they could be.
