Manga Review : Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood

So,
I read the amazing manga of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood writen by Hiromu Arakawa.
And i must say that this is definately oe of the best manag's out there.

 Story : The story is basically the tale of 2 brothers, Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric, who after performing a forbidding type of Alchemy called Human Transmutation to bring their dead mother back to life. They end-up not only failing to bring their mother back to life but also sacrificing their bodies, Ed losing his arm and leg, whilst his brother Al is locked to a suit of armor.
 The story of Fullmetal Alchemist is rich, full of brilliant themes and ideas. The whole story is essentially a journey to reclaim what has been lost and a chance at redemption . Everything about the plot  is almost flawless, the ending is absolutely spectacular leaving absolutely no plot holes. 

Art : the art is simplistic, yet captivating. I absolutely loved the art style, i found it very re-refreshing and the character designs were amazing.

Character : With every character that is introduced, Arakawa has never failed to surprise me. Fullmetal's characters are some of the most well-developed characters I have ever come across. Their personalities are unique and effective to other characters and the plot, and their pasts are explored with such detail and emotion that the characters alone could keep me dedicated to this series.

Overall :  This series is definitely worth my time and money, and I highly recommend it to everyone!

Manga

I wanted to address the students and maybe educate them about "MANGA"
Well if you search google for "manga" the first thing u will see is
'manga's are Japanese comics or comics written in Japanese language.'
But i like to it is more than that
manga's arn't just comics or comics in Japanese language they are
 A BIG part of japans culture.
In Japan, people of all ages read manga.
The medium includes works in a broad range of genres: action-adventure, business/commerce, comedy, detective, historical drama, horror, mystery, romance, science fiction and fantasy, sports and games, and suspense, among others.
Although this form of entertainment originated in Japan, many manga are translated into other languages, mainly English.
Some popular ones being "Death Note" , "Full Metal Alcamest Brotherhood", "Naruto"
and some of our childhood favourites like "Shin Chan" or even "Dragon Ball Z" all originated from manga's.

I recently read the maze runner and i must say, it's been a while since i have enjoyed a book so much.The story is captivating and fast paced and never makes you feel like the pace of the progression has dropped even a bit.Story is set in a place the inhabitants only know as the maze.Our protagonist's name is Thomas and his story starts with him waking up in the middle of all the boys living in the maze.He has no memory of his past or where he came from, all he knows is his name and he has a feeling that he has been here before.
Now, Thomas and the rest of the gladers(people living there) have only one objective, to find a way out.But on the next day a mysterious girl suddenly appears who somehow knows only one name, Thomas who has no memory of her.
They must work together to find an escape while fending off the constant attacks from the monstrous creatures that dwell in the depths of the maze.
