Fullmetal Alchemist 3-In-1, Volume 1
Fullmetal Alchemist 3-In-1, Volume 1 | Hiromu Arakawa
9 posts | 15 read | 2 to read
Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime! Reads R to L (Japanese Style), for audience T. Containing volumes 1,2 and 3 of Fullmetal Alchemist! In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Equipped with mechanical ""auto-mail"" limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his brother's bodies...the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Alchemy: the mystical power to alter the natural world, somewhere between magic art, and science. When two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric, dabbled in these powers to grant their dearest wish, one of them lost an arm and leg...and the other became nothing but a soul locked into a body of living iron. Now they are agents of the government, slaves of the military -alchemical complex, using their unique powers to obey their orders...even to kill. But their powers aren't unique. The world crawls with evil alchemists. And in pursuit of the ultimate alchemical treasure, the Philsopher's Stone, their enemies are even more ruthless than they are..."

Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. When two brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric use their ability in hopes to bring their mom back from the dead; they are faced with more tragedy and loss. If you enjoy books that are phycological thrillers and play with your emotions, I definitely recommend this book. A theme in this book is sacrifice and how to deal with loss.

MissYaremcio I loved the anime of this series! I would have liked a bit more on the theme! 5/6 2y

It‘s outdoor reading time! I didn‘t love the first volume of FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST the way I wanted to, but the second makes me think it could build into something durned good.

The library went into lockdown again yesterday, but they‘ve kept the book return open. I took a few things back today and spotted some boxes of books under the overhang by the door. I investigated and found they were free to take, not library materials in the wrong place. Whee! There were a bunch of popular titles, but I only took the first FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST 3-in-1. Hopefully I like it as much as SILVER SPOON by the same creator. #LaTBRrevealed

This was my first manga. It took a bit to warm up to, but once I got used to the style I quite enjoyed. This was a fun, easy, humorous read.

Another book off my #bookspinbingo and #WinterGames2020 and #readyourwayreadathon and #itscoldoutsidereadathon

I read somewhere that you should read at least the first 50 pages of a book before DNF. If you‘re over 50-years-old you should read the number of pages equal to your age. That said, I read 197 pages of this book. I didn‘t mind reading from right to left at all; that was kind of fun. But I‘ve never read a Manga comic that I liked, and this is no exception. I think it‘s the artwork: it just doesn‘t sit properly with me. (Continued in comments)👇👇👇

CatLass007 I did enjoy some of the humor but it wasn‘t enough to keep me engaged. I do feel pretty guilty for not finishing because it was a gift. (edited) 7y
CoffeeCatsBooks Sounds like you gave it a valiant effort! 7y
CatLass007 @CoffeeCatsBooks I really wanted to like it. Thanks for the support. 7y

Thank you @Serotonin for all the goodies!! I can‘t wait to read #FullmetalAlchemist to see if I like Manga and for the challenge of reading right to left. #Fables already is a favorite and I am so pleased that you helped me start my collection of this marvelous series. I know I will be using the exclamatory bookmarks, and I look forward to drinking the hot chocolate and trying out the new (to me) candies.... Continued in comments. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

CatLass007 @TricksyTails Cass is my favorite character from the comic!! I‘ve watched the whole first season of the new series and I still haven‘t decided if I like it. It‘s different and Tulip is supposed to be blonde. I will watch the second season however (edited) 7y

Reading this series always feels a little like coming home. ❤️

Serotonin I am seriously tempted to start collecting this series (loved the first release of the anime) 👍 7y
eekabook @Serotonin I adored the first anime, but I've never actually read all of the manga volumes or watched all of Brotherhood, so with these 3 in 1 volumes I figured it would be good timing! 😃 7y
bookslesstravelled It does! I love this series! 7y
