Written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa, Fullmetal Alchemist (鋼の錬金術師, Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) is a Japanese manga series serialized in Square Enix's Monthly Shōnen Gangan from July 2001 to June 2010, spanning 27 tankōbon volumes. Set in an alternate universe where alchemy is a widely practiced and regulated science, the story follows young alchemist brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric. After a forbidden attempt at human transmutation to bring their deceased mother back to life goes catastrophically wrong—costing Edward two of his limbs and binding Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor—the brothers embark on an arduous journey across the nation to find the legendary Philosopher's Stone to restore their original bodies.
