The mouse's scroll wheel is broken! DDDDDDDD:

The rest of the mouse works fine, but it's extremely annoying to be unable to scroll a page. Weirdly enough, the third button under the wheel is perfect.

I have no money to buy a new mouse. Not until next month.

By the way, I bought FMA #4 yerterday. I had completely forgotten how adorable Winry is in this volume. Of course, there's the Hugheses overload, which is cute and sad at the same time. And also Bradley's first appearance. It's so incredible to read all of these right now and see all the foreshadowing.

There's also the Black Hayate omake, with military goodness. I wonder if the Eastern country which Havoc says they cook dogs is either Xing or the island Breda said shogi comes from.

I must read FMA some day. I've been watching the anime and so far Winry annoyes me because in one of the early episodes she uses her feminine wiles to get guys to buy her things, and that's a trait I cannot stand in RL or fiction! I so want to like her. Hopefully she improves for me.

DON'T KEEL ME!

Uh, WTF *can't remember that in the anime at all* No, she never does that in the manga. The most presents she's gotten were regular hoop earrings from the brothers, and that was just to apologize for stuff; she didn't ask for that and never uses her curves for anything.

And hell, even if you still dislike manga!Winry anyway for other reasons, you really should give the manga a huge chance. The plot and characters completely different to the anime version, and it's really complex and detailed for a shounen.

It's in episode eight, the filler they added in with Barry the Chopper. While she doesn't directly use her feminine wiles (I mean she's eleven at the time, so she doesn't really have any), she does seem to beg in a manner that I would consider OOC for her manga self.

I think someone on the anime staff really didn't like Winry... >>

Dayum, I really didn't remember any of that. I do recall I disliked that episode's premise, especially after meeting manga!Barry's amusing side. Then again, my memories are all foggy about the anime, maybe because the canons were mixing in my head for some time, and I had to choose and focus harder on the manga for sanity's sake.
