\nIf you kidnapped me, drove me to an underground broker far away from civilization, put a gun to my head and forced me into choosing the greatest manga\/ anime of all time, first of all, please don’t do this, and secondly, I probably wouldn’t have much of a hard time saying Fullmetal Alchemist<\/strong>. Yeah, yeah, I know what you’re going to say, “but what about *insert manga name*” and maybe you’re right, but let’s be honest; there are very few series that can hold a candle to the highs and lows of FMA.\n<\/p>\n

That’s a mistake for several reasons, especially because she has a relatively new manga that she’s actually been working on for a few years now, one that FMA fans really shouldn’t miss out on: Daemons of the Shadow Realm<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n
