In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical ""auto-mail"" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his brother's bodies...the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Alchemy: the mystical power to alter the natural world, somewhere between magic, art and science. When two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, dabbled in these powers to grant their dearest wish, one of them lost an arm and a leg...and the other became nothing but a soul locked into a body of living iron. Now they are agents of the government, slaves of the military-alchemical complex, using their unique powers to obey their orders...even to kill. But their powers aren't unique. The world crawls with evil alchemists. And in pursuit of the ultimate alchemical treasure, the Philosopher's Stone, their enemies are even more ruthless than they are... Review: An Excellent Manga Series for Youth and People Who Are New to Manga. - This is a series you are bound to get sucked into. With beautiful artwork, suspenseful plot, and an immersive world crafted by mangaka Hiromu Arakawa; Fullmetal Alchemist is definitely a thrilling story for avid teen and adult readers alike. The world of FMA is heavily inspired by pre-WW2 Europe and also includes a cultural mirroring of the divide between religion and science that took place during the "Age of Enlightenment". The practice of transforming matter or "alchemy" is the foundation of this series' plot/conflict. Hiromu Arakawa has created an interesting concept by incorporating so many themes that are opposite to one another. Religion and science. God and mankind. Theism and atheism. Philosophy and blind-faith. All of these ideas amalgamate into a unique journey that feels somewhat familiar but surprisingly distinctive due to its exceptional contruction and delivery. The protagonist Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse are both well-crafted characters and I found myself becoming attached to them rather quickly. I do not want to give out too much infomation about this series because it's more enjoyable to read without spoilers. I will conclude my lengthy review by recommending (again) getting this book for yourself (or as a gift for your son or daughter). You will not regret it. This series is another great example of why the Japanese manga market has been out-doing American comics. Review: It's good - This is just primarily for the books themselves because there are already plenty of reviews for the actual story. As it stands, these are good for the price and if you are into 3 in 1 tankobans, then you will feel right at home. Pages do feel a bit lighter compared to single volume and the complaints are valid. But unless you are ACTIVELY trying to break the pages, they are still as sturdy a normal book pages. I will also say that these books are not meant for travel, although this did not happen to me unless you have someplace to put them in a bag that is protected, outside damage is likely like scratches and even slight small cuts. Even so, still satisfied as I was able to get a deal on all 9 books under 90 Dollars. Do this, go for the hardcovers that are up to volume 5 at this point as of writing this review. Each of them only cover 2 as suppose to 3 but with the added effect of better and clearer scans that are better to stand the test of time, that is most likely a definitive version for those who enjoy this series. And as someone who has up to volume 4, even though there is gonna be at least a 2 to 3-year release window seeing that there will be about 18 total hardcovers, I say they are worth the investment. But that's what is great because between the individual Volumes, the box set and the 3 in 1, even if you don't wanna wait, you still have that option. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #23,472 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #198 in Fantasy Manga (Books) #266 in Shonen Manga (Books) #441 in Action & Adventure Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,467 Reviews | ## Images ![Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 1-3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fhhUusE1L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Manga Series for Youth and People Who Are New to Manga. *by C***H on July 15, 2021* This is a series you are bound to get sucked into.
