I will check it out when it comes out. Seems like a nice calm slice of life, I guess.

FMA is easily one of my favorite series of all time, so I am REALLY looking forward to her new work! I hope it's a classic as well!

fma and under the bridge are the same guy? lol... cant wait to see whats next

no.

arakawa the under the bridge whatever garbage is created by a man and its title is in no way connected to Arakawa (person, female)

FMA is created by a woman named Arakawa and is in no way connected to (one of countless) not-funny attempts at creating a comedy by the same guy. :)

Actually, Arakawa Under the Bridge is written by a woman.

Yay!!!! *.* I can't wait for Arakawa's new work! *.*

Good news indeed.

I'm not the biggest fan of FMA but I see it one of the best, if not the best, shounen manga out there. Definitely better than the majority of dull shounen manga today anyway.

This piece of news made my day. I can't wait to see what Arakawa-sensei comes up with next.

She is credited as doing one of those end-of-episode illustrations for Bridge X Bridge, though.
