The first one is but the 2nd one is not. A third one is being released soon.

Various sections have been translated by fans including the part about Riza being Grumann's granddaughter.

Have these translations been posted online?

You mean the guidebook? I thought I've seen it somewhere, but I'm not sure. I'd like a link, too, if someone has one.

A raw's fine for me.

The third one was released in the end of may. I have seen the raw online but I have never seen a translation except for a couple of the omakes.

No that was a book profiling all the characters. The perfect guide books are something different.

Spoiler for Grumann:

I never liked Grumann that much. When he does turn up in Central to get credit for putting down the uprising, Mustang and Olivia will probably end up framing him for all the deaths and violence they've caused.

[Haladflire65]

I don't think Mustang's the kind of person to frame someone else...

[Vicious108]

But Olivier would probably have no problem doing it...

[Haladflire65]

Yeah, I agree, but Roy's really too good-hearted to do something like that. Grumman's been helping him out and everything, so I doubt Roy'd suddenly frame him.

[Vicious108]

Spoiler for Manga:

I have my doubts about Grumman's integrity though. He had that confusing scene with Miles, where Miles' thoughts were that he could be scheming to take advantage of what's going on in Central with Roy and Olivier.

I think Grumman is just using everyone, and selectively allowing himself to be used.

Im behind in the anime But can I say that Mustang's all out assault on Lust in epi 19 was one of the coolest things Id ever seen.

Glad you discovered Roy's awesome badassnes! I'm still watching that episode, a month after its airing...

Or he's trying to confuse everyone into thinking that he's got something up his sleeve when he was never actually planning on making a move of his own. In other words, he's making a bluff with a top rate poker face.

[Haladflire65]

So maybe he'll come to play a more crucial part in the coup d'etat?

[White Manju Bun]

OK this kinda doesnt go here but since I neglected to make a Speculation thread for non manga readers () Im asking this here since it does do with Mustang...

I remember Kirarakim (I think) saying that what Hughes found out and what he was killed for hadnt been revealed yet, is this just so far in the series or in the manga as well?

Once I get this answer Ill move onto what it has to do with Mustang.

I don't remember if it was me but it has been revealed in the manga and with the last episode it is beginning to be revealed in the anime as well.

Maybe. I get the feeling that Grumman was more like the bait to distract Bradley from what was happening over in central. All the while, he appeared to be inconspicuous because he was carrying out a training simulation, which is a perfectly normal occurrence in any military. Not to mention that whatever Grumman says may be regarded as simple blabber coming from an old man nearing retirement, so nobody would pay any mind to what he says. So imho, as far as he's concerned, he's played his part so far. Despite what I said tho, I'd keep him in mind because he really might have something up his sleeve and him saying so might make people call out his bluff when it really isn't. Who knows.....

[Haladflire65]

Wonder if Mustang suspects anything. I have to say he's pretty busy right now.

Who'd be the one to bring down Bradley? What would happen to the military when the Homunculi are destroyed? Would Roy become Furher? D'oh. I have way too many questions.
