Fullmetal Alchemist is a fantasy anime describing the world which alchemy exists.
After brothers of Edward Elric and Alphonse Elric have lost their mother, they break the biggest taboo “forbidden human transmutation”, and try to resurrect their mother with alchemy.
Consequently, it leads to a failure that Edward loses his right arm and left leg, and the younger Alphonse loses all his body, and they need to live as armor imbued with spirits. (o;TωT)
This is a story about these two brothers who encounter many kinds of people, say good-bye repeatedly, and look for “Philosopher’s stone” to get their bodies back to what they used to be.
The “Philosopher’s stone” in the world of Fullmetal Alchemist is the greatest material in alchemy.
This is known as a divine material which can change poor metals to gold, and heal any unhealable diseases and scars in a second.
Currently, all this anime and manga have been completed. However, I will definitely answer that this is the work if someone asks me “what is the manga with a wonderful ending?”.
The wonderful thing about this work is not only the final episode but also there are so many memories that I can’t explain enough, such as the bond of brothers of Edward and Alphonse, the ideas to the military and the wars by Roy Mustang as a Colonel of Armed Forces of the Amestri as well as Riza Hawkeye as a military lady of Armed Forces of the Amestri, and the struggle of Winry Rockbell waiting for Elric brothers, who is their old friend.
This work has many life-related topics, such as “life and death” and “clone and definition of human”, and there are even some scenes that some of the characters pass away.
Although those heavy topics are addressed, in total 61 million copies of this manga are successfully sold and read by many kinds of people even now.
I feel strongly about all the characters in Fullmetal Alchemist and love them all. But, if I had to choose one of my most favorite characters, I’ll choose Edward. I am sure you will also get moved by Edward aiming at his goal and improving himself during struggling with absurdity and bottomless malicious intent in this world!!
The story is also impressive, the characters are cool, and the final episode is so wonderful without any complaints of course!!
If your friends ask you if you know any interesting manga, please recommend this manga definitely!
Fullmetal Alchemist describes characters’ feelings very specifically. Although this manga is for boys, it is also popular to ladies. I think this work will be enjoyable to men and women of all ages ☆
If you don’t read this yet, let’s go and meet Edward and Alphonse from the first episode!
"I'll show you there's no comparison between us!"
You will be definitely addicted to Edward with these words. (〃´・ω・`)
