Fullmetal Alchemist is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hiromu Arakawa. It was serialized in Square Enix’s Monthly Shōnen Gangan shōnen manga anthology magazine between July 2001 and June 2010. Square Enix later collected the individual chapters into twenty-seven tankōbon volumes. The series has been adapted into two television series and two films, all animated by Bones, as well as light novels. A live-action film based on the series was released in 2017.

The manga has sold over 80 million volumes worldwide, making it one of the best-selling manga series. It received the 49th Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2004, the UK’s Eagle Award for favorite manga in 2010 and 2011, and the Seiun Award for best science fiction comic in 2011.

The series revolves around the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, and their journey in search of the “Philosopher’s Stone” in hopes to restore their bodies before their failed attempt to bringing back their mother through alchemy.
