6	----
7	* The original ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' manga (as well as its direct adaptation, ''Brotherhood'') has surprisingly little (arguably ''no'') HoYay for a shonen with a huge and mostly male cast. However, Ed's relationship with Ling, and Mustang's rather heartfelt reaction to Hughes' [[spoiler:death]] still add moderate HoYay fodder.
8	** On the subject of Mustang and Hughes: Academy friends, met up again in the Hell of Ishval, and Hughes signed on to 'support Roy from below.' Roy then went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge against Envy after learning he was responsible for [[spoiler: Hughes' death.]] He was distraught at Riza and Havoc [[spoiler: possibly dying]], but it's only with ''Hughes'' that he truly loses his cool (though this can be argued as being because Hughes is the only one where it actually happens).
9	** Ed and Ling do have a bit, especially in the scene where Ed carries Ling while they're in [[spoiler: Gluttony's stomach]].
10	*** [[http://rs1017.pbsrc.com/albums/af292/Enveh2978/ling_yao.gif~c200 Then there's Ling getting touchy-feely with Ed not long after they meet.]]
11	* Darius and Heinkel receive a lot of this in fan works.
12	* Greed and Ling have a lot of HoYay, too. In the Viz manga there is a line in which Greed says, "I'm glad I hooked up with you", and the whole "aibou" ("partners") thing...
13	--> "NO, Greed! I need you! You're my partner!"
14	** '''[[http://warningyou.deviantart.com/art/Lingreed-This-sounds-so-wrong-317056062 This]]''' pretty much says it all. Trust me, ItMakesSenseInContext.
15	* When enumerating the various things he wants in his EstablishingCharacterMoment, Greed lists "women" and "sex" as separate items.
16	* Sig Curtis's "flex-off" with Major Armstrong which ends with the two of them holding hands and sparkling.
17	* Winry and Rose, [[http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz29srk4B51qdyi3xo1_500.png as]] [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/abbaf1ca9017b4785552419a71f1b34f/tumblr_mi4ib98BQv1qdyi3xo6_250.jpg shown]] [[http://31.media.tumblr.com/de6dd49ef89138e7e782b18be174023e/tumblr_mi4ib98BQv1qdyi3xo5_250.png here.]]
18	* The [[HilariousOuttakes outtakes]] quickly tease both Greed/Ed (as quoted above) and even Greed/Hohenheim (one of Hohenheim's outtakes features his voice actor going "how about a kissy?" to Greed). Granted, it's PlayedForLaughs, but the first example ''really'' doesn't help the VitriolicBestBuds that carries over from [[spoiler:Ed and Ling]].
19	* Though not nearly as much as in the first anime, there are still moments in the manga that could be interpreted as Roy/Ed shipper bait, [[http://alkahestic.tumblr.com/post/52120988700/memoriescantwait-asked-for-a-rebloggable where one of them seems a little too focused on the other, or arguments that could be seen as innuendo]]. Which is why their shippers predated the first anime in Japan (though that was really what got it going).
