After a forbidden human transmutation goes horribly wrong, brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric lose their bodies in a desperate attempt to resurrect their mother—leaving Edward with a metal arm and leg and Alphonse’s soul bound to a suit of armor. Determined to restore themselves, they become State Alchemists and uncover a web of military secrets, human experiments, ancient alchemy, and a conspiracy tied to the Philosopher’s Stone. As loyalties fracture and war histories resurface, the brothers confront the cost of sacrifice, truth, and the meaning of humanity.
Fullmetal Alchemist blends action, military drama, moral philosophy, dark mystery, and character-driven emotional storytelling, and the Fullmetal Edition presents the series in deluxe archival format.
Relevant Notes About Hiromu Arakawa
Arakawa drew on her upbringing on a Hokkaido dairy farm and her interest in military history and ethics to craft themes of labor, war, and personal accountability. Early in her career she worked as an assistant to Hiroyuki Etō (Mahoujin Guru Guru), whose comedic timing and panel rhythm influenced her expressive layouts and character humor.
