Full Metal Alchemist is a manga sensation that my students are forever telling me about. So I decided to borrow a volume from the biblio to see what all the fuss is about.
An interestng story of the Elric brothers, who are alchemists. Both dabbled in alchemy as young boys in an attempt to bring back their mother who had passed away several years before. Unfortunately. the is against the rules of alchemy. As punishment, Edward loses his arm, but Alphonse loses his whole body. Edward then sacrfices his leg to save Alphonse’s soul.
Alphonse’s soul comes to rest in a suit of armour. Edward’s arm and leg were replaced by very advanced metal protheses. Togther the boys travel as government alchemists looking for a way to restore themselves to their original bodies.
Interesting bit of work. I enjoyed it and will pick-up more, although reading from right to left takes a bit of training.
