awsome

This was pretty f-ing funny i am one who loves the fmp series and this is no ecception, the only thing i did not like was the drawing stile but other than that awsome super cool to the 10th power to infinity plus 180'

Fantastic FMP

I'm a huge fan of the series and an avid collector of all things Full Metal Panicy. The characters and how they develope interest me the most. The almost tragic relationship between souske and kaname is what keeps me so deeply intrigued. I mean how can you not love the way they act with each other??! Many a time reading this comic in the quiet spaces of my dorm have i just burst out in laughter causing my roommate to think i'm nuts, only because i say to myself "thats souske alright!" Fantastic and hilarious start to this new series of comics! Shouji keep up the great work! I look forward to more of them, and i hope you other FMP maniacs will do the same.

A good laugh à la FMP!

Don't expect an actual rerun of the original FMP manga (or novel for that matter). This one emphasize more of the comic aspects of FMP! than the one done by Tetsu Tateo. The graphics are more comic-like and the plot not as complicated (think FMP: fumoffu). But don't get me wrong, it is still a good laugh. Sousuke is as much of a war-maniac as he can be (or maybe even more) while Kaname gets even more exasperated as ever and that's what really shines up in this new take of this popular serie. Don't miss it if you're a fan of FMP! (or not) and you liked the funny side of FMP!.
