Fullmetal Alchemist Volume 18 by Hiromu Arakawa
Winry Rockbell is brought to Fort Briggs in the north to fix up Edward's auto-mail arm and leg (again). But she's really a pawn in King Bradley's plan to force Edward into creating another Philosopher's Stone. The king's agent, Mr. Kimblee, tells Edward he needs to start the ritual and hunt down the fugitive Scar. Edward reluctantly agrees, demanding to hunt Scar first. The hunt turns into an opportunity to doublecross the Homunculus conspiracy in a thrilling showdown with Scar. Meanwhile, Lt. Hawkeye makes an unsettling discovery at the capital.
The story is exciting as it ramps up the conflict between the humans and the homunculi. Arakawa does a great job balancing action and drama as the plot naturally draws out both from its the story's progression.
Highly recommended.
