The conclusion of Fullmetal Alchemist

I have been following this manga for over six years. Today I finished reading the final chapter. The story is now complete at 27 volumes.

I'm not even sure what I want to say about it. I just feel like I should stop and acknowledge the moment. It's a story that has awed me with its intricate and farsighted plotting, its magnificent ensemble of characters, its unflinching willingness to go into the dark places, and its powerful emphasis on love and friendship and loyalty and sacrifice.

One of my favourite series of all time, no doubt.

The conclusion has been a long time coming. And it was the perfect ending in every way.
