Oh I've missed them.

11/10/16: This is the first time I've reread this since the last volume came out. I'm noticing how much groundwork is laid IMMEDIATELY for later plot developments. Seriously......the story is structured SO well!

Ed and Al are tiny babies!

You start this series off with Chapter 1: The Two Alchemists.

More review to come when editing mode hits.
Cheers Pretties!

Първото томче на тази, доколкото разбрах, бая популярна манга серия ни запознава с братята Едуард и Алфонс Елрик; единият - избухливо типче, загубило дясна ръка и ляв крак при объркал се алхимичен експеримент и заменило ги с киберпротези, другият - душа, затворена в метална броня.

Трите истории, решени в похват fix-up (смислово самостоятелни, но обединени от героите и света им) поставиха тандема в най-различни конфликтни ситуации - с религиозен шарлатанин, оплел умовете на цяла общност, с корумпиран военен, експлоатиращ миньорски град и с екстремистка организация, отвлякла влак... Имаше доволно екшън, имаше и благ хумор, така че чакам с нетърпение следващите приключения на братята.

4,4/5

This was my first time re-reading it since I was probably 12 or so, and it was pretty wonderfully nostalgic. I had the opening song from the anime playing in my head the whole time I was reading. The story is an interesting mix of funny and dark and serious, and I’m probably super biased because of nostalgia, but I think the world building and general stylistic feel of the book is pretty fabulous.

This manga has definitely one of the best anime adaptations as Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood . But let's not take anything away from the original material . I loved this manga . Definitely recommend .

One of my good friends (in reference to Fullmetal Alchemist) once told me: Literally every other manga, ever, should take notes.

WOW was he right. Edward and Alphonse stole my heart from the get-go; the overarching story left me eager for more. I’ll be damned if I can’t get my hands on the next volume soon!

Young Edward and Alphonse wanted nothing more than to see their dead mother again. They attempt to resurrect her with alchemy (a craft that allows wielders to alter matter using equal give and take), except their wish is too grand, and things go awry. Dabbling in dangerous power has left Edward without an arm and a leg, and Alphonse missing his body entirely--soul bound to an empty suit of armor. Together, the brothers are searching for a stone that can amplify alchemy in the hopes of getting their original bodies back.

This was honestly such a great time! Fullmetal Alchemist immediately drew me in with its plentiful action and wit. Alphonse and Edward--our protagonists--were probably the most enticing factors for me. It’s been a while since I’ve encountered characters like them, whom I come to love immediately upon meeting.

Hiromu Arakawa’s art style was in my eyes near perfect. The clean lines and overall character concepts were right up my alley in terms of personal preference. My sister flipped through the pages, marvelling at the neat art style, too!

There isn’t much else to say besides the fact that this manga more than exceeded my expectations. Knowing that this is only the first cusp of the story leaves me extremely excited for what’s to come!

This is one of the best manga storylines to exist in this genre and beyond, making me laugh and weep by the end of it and I almost, almost wish I had better interest in alchemy and science to fully drown in this.

n  "Párate. Camina. Y avanza mirando adelante. Tú sí tienes ambas piernas."n

Los hermanos Elric son un par de alquimistas que buscan la piedra filosofal para poder regresar sus cuerpos a la forma original que tenían ya que, tras intentar una trasmutación para revivir a su madre, Edward pierde el brazo derecho y la pierna izquierda, mientras que Alphonse pierde toda su forma física y sólo su alma queda dentro de una armadura.

En este primer volumen, vemos a este par de hermanos aventurarse en un par de misiones que nos explican lo importante y útil que resulta la alquimia. Y cuyo principio más importante es: si deseas obtener algo, tendrás que dar a cambio su equivalente.

Como cualquier shonen, está lleno de escenas de acción, comedia y momentos serios que la hacen una lectura muy entretenida. Sin duda es una serie que todos deberían de leer y me queda claro que el manga es mucho mejor que su adaptación al anime.

Este volumen contiene los capítulos 1 – 4.

Dajem 3 jer nije za više od toga, realno. Malo je konfuzno i zbrkano.
Ali mi se dopada ideja i braća su urnebesna

love this - just love this

Me encanta este manga y la relectura de este primer volumen me hizo reír varias veces.
