I read somewhere that the last chapter is 108 because it;s a very important symbol (perfect division or something--search wikipedia); and well, the guess s that the author want to make it perfect util the detail. So these chapters are (epicly!) published with more pages so it will ended up nicely. Some even say that the next chapter would be 150 pages long... That's awesome, really, if it's true.
Honestly I prefer these long chapters... they made really epic scenes, UNCUT and not DRAGGED like some other series..
lol agreed, i think a single fight scene in Bleach spans 8-9 chapters at times and it isn't really even worth reading anymore you just wana kno what's going to happen at the end, Naruto& Claymore which have a little more creative value aren't as bad most of the times, but still can drag a single fight out through a whole volume...
still can't get over how great this story is though, it doesn't start to lose origionality toward the end like so many other tales - definitely going to save up and buy some FMA volumes when they're all released
on a side note i wonder if Winry and Ed will have to be more straightforward with their relationship now that his automail is gone
