I've heard musing of it possibly going up to 10 or 11 episodes based on where 6 ends.

Is that last week's chapter or did this week's chapter come out already (which means I need to read ASAP!)? I can never remember the chapters :(.

Oh and out of curiosity, what do you use to read your manga? I tried out ACDSee, which I rather liked, but I can't see myself paying $50 for a program just to read manga for 20 minutes every week. I tried out XnView and I was able to get it to closely mimic ACDSee except for two things.... It puts all the files in the tree view as well as in the browser window where I just want folders and drives in the tree view (the normal way a tree view is set up). Also, the back button on my mouse doesn't work to go up a level like it does in ACDSee. One advantage to XnView (which I probably could've done with ACDSee) is that I told it to only show pictures, folders and archive files, since manga usually only includes those objects. I should probably include text files too since sometimes mangas will come with text-based notes.

i use hamana. it works far better than any other viewer i've seen. infinitely customizable, and free.

you just have to get over the fact that the homepage is in japanese.

I heard about Hamana, so maybe I'll have to take a peek. Right now, XnView pretty much does everything that I want save for what I mentioned earlier and it's also free (for non-commercial use).

I don't use anything really. I just read it on onemanga.com/one_piece.

Can this Hamana handle archives within archives? I found out (the hard way) that XnView (to my knowledge) cannot and that created a tad bit of a problem with reading One Piece last night :(.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood is great. This one follows the manga more, according to my brother.

indeed it does. However at the rate the anime is going they are going to have to insert filler or come up with their own ending.
