Reasons to read the FMA manga

Bits and pieces about why the Fullmetal Alchemist manga is worth reading/superior even if you've seen both Broterhood and the 2003 series

Volume 2, chapter 5: The Alchemist’s suffering, p.36-37

-BOTH ANIMES FAILED TO INCLUDE THIS FANTASTIC ALPHONSE SCENE!

Seriously, this showcases so much aspects of Alphonse’s personality perfectly: More levelheaded than his brother BUT at the same time no less passionate. It shows that he’s CLEARLY PISSED at Tucker for his deplorable deed but Al just controls his emotions better than Ed does. 

And that in one little (but significant!) scene. Arakawa is really something.
