Easy Question: Is the Manga finished?

[Lost World]

Is the FMA manga finished in Japan or will they have to make up an ending for the TV series?

Everyone seems to agree Fullmetal Alchemist will have 52 episodes. So it's a long series in perspective.

It's pretty short by Shonen Anime standards, actually.

Do u no how many volumes of manga there's gonna be for FMA?

[Hippoeater]

I remember reading an article somewhere saying that the Full Metal Alchemist manga will not finish till 2008.

[Gatts]

It'll probably end up being just over 20 volumes. It's at 10 right now.

From what I hear, the anime really digressed from the manga so I'm sure that the manga would be able to fill in the story better with more time to develop. DBZ stretched out the anime, not the manga and when an anime is stretched out, it gets more less interesting and annoying as it is filled with much filler and unneeded elongated scenes that don't involve much (screen panning, hit exchanging that take over a whole episode etc.) When a manga is stretched out much after an anime is finished, it's usually a good thing (for manga readers anyway). That would usually mean that the anime ended the manga prematurely because it took up too much episodes that would fit in it's season slot, or the anime added things in that the original author didn't write to fill in progress contraints. The manga being longer would be a good thing, as it gets to explain things that were left out. For example, in Hajime no Ippo, the anime ended short as the main character hasn't even had his "important plot affecting fight" with the "rival" character so to say yet. The manga kept going on telling more and more of the story.
