'Fullmetal Alchemist' to launch Webtoon edition in full colour from May 7
Fullmetal Alchemist will officially debut on the English-language Webtoon platform on May 7, bringing Hiromu Arakawa's acclaimed manga to a wider digital audience. The release will feature the series in full colour and restructured for Webtoon's vertical-scroll format. According to Anime News Network, this adaptation is seen as a significant moment for the franchise, which has continued to attract fans more than a decade after its conclusion. The new format is designed to introduce Edward and Alphonse Elric's story to a mobile-first audience, providing a new way to engage with Arakawa's detailed storytelling and artwork. The move to Webtoon includes recolouring the original black-and-white pages and adapting the layout to suit mobile reading habits. While some long-time readers may have concerns about the format change, others may welcome the opportunity to experience the story with new pacing and accessibility. Fullmetal Alchemist originally ran from 2001 to 2010 in Monthly Shōnen Gangan and has been widely praised for its world-building and moral complexity. The series inspired two anime adaptations, including Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, as well as films and spin-offs. The Webtoon release aligns with the rise of digital comic consumption, offering a gateway for new readers while giving existing fans another way to enjoy the series.

Iconic On-Screen Love Triangles Ranked By Drama
For a while, I missed the good old messy, sexually tense, and cliché love triangles. And in the midst of this love triangle drought came Challengers and Materialists, which brought a sleek, modern twist to the classic love triangle. And honestly, it was refreshing. I mean, come on. It's a piece of beauty! But it also made me nostalgic for the chaotic, confused-girl-core kind of love triangle that had us in a chokehold (you know, Elena-Damon-Stefan). So, naturally, I decided, why not rank the best on-screen love triangles of all time? You might not agree with some of these, but—oh well! In last place is the Serena-Dan-Nate love triangle in Gossip Girl. This trio comes in last because it was wayyy too messy for my liking. Only Serena and Nate made sense with their chemistry, but bad decisions and unnecessary drama ruined what could have been an amazing couple. And don't get me started on Dan—I have never come across another character with such minimal romantic energy. He was giving NOTHING throughout the seasons—except for judgement. This love triangle didn't need to exist. Twilight is second to last because this trio was The Twilight Saga had 5 films, and in the duration of these 5 films, there was no sign of chemistry between these three characters. Their so-called romance was as pale as Edward's skin. And that's the nicest way I can put it. Jacob and Bella had zero romantic interest towards one another; it was not very substantial. While Edward did care for and love Bella, it was more about awkward possessiveness than anything. Not to mention in all, they are a famous love triangle, just not one that actually makes me blush. The Favourite—it may not have been a legit 'love' triangle, but it still made me feel some kinda way. Okay, I know it's not a textbook love triangle. But the tension in the air, the stares, and the fighting over Olivia Colman—very enticing. It is not so good that it deserved to be in the top 10, but it definitely deserves a spot on the list because of their incredible chemistry! They may be fighting for more power, but ultimately, the love and care for Olivia Colman's character is just so beautiful to watch. Materialists—the only reason I love this love triangle is because it is modern and hopeful. This has to be the most realistic love triangle on-screen. Maybe a bit too real. And I don't entirely love it for that, but also I don't hate it. There was definitely chemistry between the characters, but it wasn't enough to get me rooting for Lucy to end up with one of them. The love triangle trope was left hanging and incomplete, taking away the fun of it. And while the film was not aiming for this trope, there were traces of love and angst, which was enough to include this film at number 12. At number 11 is Jane The Virgin with one of the most memorable love triangles—Michael and Rafael. If you ask me, I am team Michael all the way. The show had the best tug-of-war between the good boy and the bad boy—a trope we all love watching on screen. The characters looked good with one another, however the unnecessary plot lines and dragged out confusion between the two male leads just made it boring for started as a show with great chemistry, by the end, fizzled out—and that's why it isn't too high on my list. The Age of Innocence—Daniel Day-Lewis, Michelle Pfeiffer, and Winona Ryder in a love triangle? Hell yes! Okay now, the love triangles are getting more juicy and interesting. Nothing screams old-money love and tension like The Age of Innocence, with Daniel Day-Lewis confused between two gorgeous women—Winona Ryder and Michelle Pfeiffer. All three actors in their prime, yearning for each other, stealing glances—it couldn't get any better than that. This love triangle has the slow-burn chemistry that holds my interest. However, the plot never livens up, and ends in the same way we all can wise it may not be the greatest film, but the love triangle is definitely worth the10th spot. The Graduate in 9th place is shocking, but the only reason it's here is for the peak messy energy. Benjamin falling for Elaine after having an affair with her mother—extremely awkward but angsty love triangle. It's questionable and messy, but that's why I kind of dig course, I do not support this kind of behavior—however, this love triangle checked all the boxes of a good old nostalgic chaotic trio. It does not have a very interesting plot and story but it does have an irresistible sexual energy between the characters— that is why it is included in the top ten. The Vampire Diaries or the OG girl-confused-between-brothers trope. The iconic Salvatore brothers have ruled our teenage years, with us fighting over who is the better brother. But in the end, we all were like Elena—wanting the best of sexual energy and tension were great, but was it a healthy love triangle? No. The reason why it wouldn't be in the top 5 is because this triangle was born out of bad decisions and plot lines that really didn't make a point, I was annoyed by how confusing Elena was in getting with either brother, which makes it perfect for the 8th spot. There was simply no growth or depth to any relationship. Past Lives—the most heartbreaking and painful love triangle on this list. The only reason this isn't number one is because I wanted Hae Sung with Nora, and that didn't happen, so yeah. But nonetheless, the melancholy, the subtle glances, and the nostalgic feeling of love between these three gave us a love triangle that made my heart ache. The quietness in the conversations and the reliving of their childhood memories together, with her husband trying to understand—now this was a healthy relationship. It's a highly cinematic love triangle and very real, without the excess juicy drama. But would I prefer it over the others that have a bit of chaos? No. And that's why it is placed at number 7. Casablanca, the ultimate war-time love triangle that had us in our feels. At number 6, we have the legendary classic—Casablanca. Meeting your lover from the past and rekindling the spark is such a classic take on love triangles, and that's why I adore this trio. It was all about old-school love and charm, and while it was lovely to see the sacrifices of love, I wanted to indulge in the story of what could have been, rather than the reality. It's a cinematic masterpiece, no doubt, which is why it earns its spot at number 6. But if I were looking to indulge in the thrill of a truly captivating love triangle, this wouldn't be my go-to rewatch. Grey's Anatomy, because this listicle wouldn't make sense without this iconic trio. This is my ULTIMATE TV love power couples; this was the power throuple! This love triangle really had some of the most romantic lines and gestures, and hence is in the top 5 love triangles. The only thing that irked me about this triangle was McDreamy and how he was able to fumble both Meredith and Addison, thanks to his pride and ego. But if I were to look past his questionable choices in the show, hands down, they were the best TV love triangle and a solid contender for the top five love triangles on-screen. The love triangle in Little Women, which led to massive hearbreak. This love triangle is pure literary heartbreak—with the sisters learning about love, growing apart, and realizing life has other ways of working out. While the slices of loving moments between Laurie and the sisters were so sweet, the pain was very real, and I could not bear to look at Laurie anymore. I will forever love this trio, but the trauma screams louder than the love. And that's why it will not be the number one for me. (Even though it will forever remain with me.)But thanks, Greta Gerwig, for making something beautiful out of this! And now, for the top three love triangles on-screen (drumroll please): Challengers, because look at them! This was, no doubt, going to be the top three after this particular bedroom scene. The moment I saw this film, my obsession for love triangles was reignited, and I could not have been more in love with this trio. The rising tension scene after scene, when they grow older, and the manipulation just make this such an addicting love triangle. The power, ambition, mixed with love and hate and secrets—mind-blowing! When I miss a good chaotic relationship, Challengers is the film to watch, and that's why it's in my top 3! Sabrina is peak fairy-tale-meets-corporate-chaos. I would like to believe the trope of two brothers falling in love with the same girl started with this film. Sabrina, the chauffeur's dreamy daughter, returns from Paris all glowed up, and suddenly both Larrabee brothers—playboy David and serious-business Linus—are very interested. And things get very serious very soon, amping up the drama for the viewers. It got second place for its irresistible nature of love, the epic chemistry between the actors, and of course the end scene with Linus running to the boat to run away with Sabrina! Because who doesn't love a chasing-your-love-at-the-last-minute scene? And number 1 belongs to Bridget Jones's Diary, because, honestly, it's just THAT GOOD! Classics are classics for a reason, and who doesn't love a good romantic comedy with Hugh Grant and Colin Firth? It had all the simple aspects: the jerk, the very sweet and shy guy, and a female lead who is full of life, figuring out who is the one for her. Bridget Jones's Diary nailed this formula and perfected the love triangle of undying chemistry and comedy. And no other film comes close to it—making it the BEST love triangle on-screen. This is my ultimate ranking of on-screen love triangles—some hit the mark, some missed wildly, and a few might stir up controversy. But hey, it's all a matter of perception. For me, each of these tangled romances is iconic in its own messy yet addicting way. Good or bad, they're the ones I keep coming back to—because nothing beats the guilty pleasure of drama, longing, and a little rule breaking.

Share Your Sexual Awakening Story
Looking all the way back to that awkward tween/teen phase when puberty had you grappling with all sorts of new thoughts and feelings, is there a specific moment that sticks out that you'd now credit as your sexual awakening? Perhaps you consider that time you watched Aladdin in fourth grade to be your formal sexual awakening. You loved the movie when you were really little, but upon rewatch, you couldn't take your eyes off of hunky Aladdin and his little open vest. You were smitten. Maybe your mom received a Victoria's Secret catalogue in the mail, and you were curious, so you snuck it into your room. After flipping through page after page of bra and underwear ads, you had a new feeling in the pit of your stomach you hadn't had before. You didn't really know what it was, but you knew you really wanted to kiss girls after it! Or, maybe your older sister was watching Twilight, and you kept sneaking in her room to watch too. You couldn't really explain it, but you knew you really liked both Bella and Edward. Looking back, you now realize this was your bi awakening. Did a movie, TV show, commercial, piece of art, newspaper ad, textbook diagram, or other surprising piece of media prompt your sexual awakening? Or was it something else totally random?

Canoe diplomacy
Edward, Prince of Wales is transported in a dug-out canoe on the Zambezi River near Kamujoma, Northern Rhodesia. — Otago Witness, 15.9.1925 COPIES OF PICTURE AVAILABLE FROM ODT FRONT OFFICE, LOWER STUART ST, OR The Prince of Wales, journeying along the Zambesi, has reached Kamujoma, where he was welcomed by a large gathering of Barotse tribesmen. The paramount chief presented a loyal address. The Prince, in replying, begged them to give up the practice of slavery. He afterwards participated in an elaborate native aquatic display. America doing OK In the matter of motor vehicles, particularly, the rest of the world is very small potatoes alongside the United States, for it has only 12 percent of the total number of motor vehicles while America has 88 percent. Furthermore, the United States is producing: 55 percent of the world's iron ore, 61 percent of the world's pig iron, 65 percent of the world's steel, 61 percent of the world's copper, 62 percent of the world's petroleum, 43 percent of the world's coal, 52 percent of the world's timber output, 65 percent of the world's naval stores, 42 percent of the world's phosphate, 80 percent of the world's sulphur, 63 percent of the world's mica, 62 percent of the world's lead, 64 percent of the world's zinc, 60 percent of the world's talc and soapstone, 45 percent of the world's barytes, 63 percent of the world's cotton. Gee. The catalogue is not exhaustive. — by 'Wayfarer' Cable-car replacement bus The recent disorganisation of the Roslyn cable service and the attendant inconvenience occasioned to hill dwellers was fortunately relieved by touches of humour. Citizens who reside in the more distant areas — and especially in those badly served by transit facilities — have apparently cultivated the virtue of patience in a marked degree, and hence such insignificant trifles as the suspension of a tramway service more or less frequently is viewed with remarkable imperturbability. The good-natured crowds who waited in the rain for a problematical journey home per medium of a totally inadequate bus service from Rattray Street to Highgate obtained a good deal of fun at the frantic attempts of "struggling masses" to find the solitary entrance to the charabanc. In one instance a somewhat piqued female voice was heard to protest, "Gentlemen, gentlemen, ladies first," followed (more peremptorily) by "Mind my umbrella — it cost me 25 shillings." Lepers' voyage booked The Government steamer Hinemoa's trip early next month will transport the lepers from Quail Island station in Lyttelton Harbour to the leper station of Makogai Island, lying 18 miles north-east of Levuku, the old capital of Fiji. Four Maoris, two Chinamen and three Europeans, all males, will go from New Zealand with the present staff. Dr T.J. Hughes, district medical officer at Auckland, will accompany the party in a supervising capacity. Special accommodation is to be constructed at the after end of the Hinemoa, and this will be left at the leper station when the patients have been landed. The vessel will also transport 10 lepers from Samoa. There are five leper villages at Makogai, containing 351 patients, who have an active, open-air existence, and are treated for the disease in various ways. The administration of chaulmoogra oil has a marked beneficial effect on nearly all stages of leprosy. Surgical treatment is also important. — ODT, 15.7.1925 (Compiled by Peter Dowden)
