A lot of backstory with this volume! Love that Winry got her moment and delivered a baby! Really loved meeting Izumi and Sig. But dang, it was heartbreaking to see how disappointed Izumi was that Ed had learned "the truth." In the ensuing chapters where we learn the whole backstory and how tragic Ed and Al's journey has been.
Side note: I tend to be more enamored with Arakawa's storytelling, rather than her art. But every once in a while she'll throw in some panels that just blow me away. Loved the page where Ed was taking his licencing exam and created the spear. Really great panels!
Onto volume 5!

I literally watch this show on repeat. I’ve reread this series more then I can count. It’s a crutch at this point.

Quizás el tomo que más he vivido en lo que llevo de la serie... Para ser el más corto hasta ahora, vaya que está lleno de frases interesantes, conceptos y preguntas filosóficas, y momentos emotivos; manteniendo las partes cómicas y acercándote aún más a sus personajes. Sin mencionar que responde una de las cosas que más causaban misterio en la saga para mí, pero sin aclarar todo, y dejando aún más preguntas por el camino.
El panel donde Ed es llevado al más allá por un momento, para encontrarse cara a cara con dios y con lo que significa ser humano ha sido mi favorito en todo el contenido visual que he consumido. Te dice todo sin utilizar una sola palabra, te deja pensando, y observando cada detalle al que la tinta pudo llegar...
Si dios existe en este mundo, y dios somos nosotros también, ¿por qué quiere nuestra carne? Quizás es una de las principales dudas que me quedan por ahora, y espero que esto se siga desarrollando.

Izumi contains to be amazing. The brothers' backstory is done well and creates a lot of sympathy for them. Also the foreshadowing is phenomenal.
