Full Metal Panic
Anyone else bought the 2 first volumes from ADV Manga? Got the second volume this last week, and now IŽll have to wait until Febuary for the third volume. Although the second one was a little disapointing since the first one had all this new stuff never shown in FMP or Fumoffu but the second one was episode 4-7 in the anime. But great stuff none the less. Cool that they landed in North Korea instead of some made up country,

Yeah, I got it from Amazon.co.uk on Saturday. It's good. I haven't seen any of the Full Metal Panic anime series, though.
I'm not sure if I like the old formula "starts as humor, becomes pure action" it seems to be using now. Well, I'll know when the 3rd volume is released.

I've bought both volumes so far, and I have also seen (and enjoyed) both anime series. I see parts from both series in the manga, but apparently the first series was based on this manga, and Fummoffu was based on another.
The only real gripe I have is that the next volume isn't going to be released until February. That's 4 months between releases! |

I thought the Fumoffu anime was based on an entirely diffrent Manga. Espciallt since the events in the Fumoffu anime takes place after the FMP anime (with Chidori already knowing Tessa and such) |

To answer your question, the manga is a mix of fumoffu and FMP. All of you who said that the first manga book was all new stuff was wrong. The shoe box stuff is clearly seen in fumoffu, as is the scene with the coach contaminating the lunch foods as well as...well...most of it. While strictly speaking, FMP:F does take place after FMP, many FMP fans and I like to treat it as sort of a side story; an alternate story to FMP. If you notice, at the end of FMP, it's clear that the relationship between Sagara and Kaname is going somewhere; however in the first ep of FMP:F their relationship seems backtracked, which makes no sense. While there are some hints in the second season that it succeeds the first (like Kaname knowing the general and Tessa) I don't think it really starts off where the first one left off. |
