Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2008

The Adventure continues
The story just seems to keep getting more complicated! It's torture that we have to keep waiting for new volumes but theres not much that can be done since we aren't very far behind the Japanese version. Buy the whole series (I have english and Japanese because its ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 5

Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2006

DO YOU HAVE THE TIME?...UH, WHERE'S MY WATCH!!??
Volume 5 of Fullmetal Alchemist takes a rest from the Philospher's Stone battles with Homunculi and serious angst of previous volumes to lighten up a little. Ed and Al travel with Winry to Rush City, a boomtown of the boondocks of the country, which despite its ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 15

VIZ Media LLC, 2007

the best yet
I feel that vol 15 is really the best that has come out of Arakawa yet. We know everybody so well by now that the story really packs a major punch. And I'm excited for the next one (hurry up with it!).

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 9 (v. 9)

Fullmetal 9-Another Great Addition
This latest installment in the Fullmetal Alchemist series is no different from its formers. Ed and Al face the death of their friend Maes Hughes hanging over their heads, and now the death of Maria Ross as well. Winry stands with them through it, but she is suffering ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 17 (Fullmetal Alchemist (Graphic Novels))

VIZ Media LLC, 2008

The story is just getting more intense!
Rather than spoil what has gone in the Fullmetal Alchemist manga series so far, I'm just going to say it's great. If you have not read the previous volumes before number 17, I suggest you do so, or you will be lost in the story. It seems that the English ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 6

Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2006

One Big Flashback
But isn't it a nice flashback? This volume gives a lot of clarification on some plot points, you get to see Little!Ed and Little!Al, and you even get into some philosophy. Definitely worth reading, I ate right through it.

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 3

Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2005

A great continuation to a great series
Volume 3 of Fullmetal Alchemist is absolutely wonderful. This addition finally brings in some characters from the Elric brothers' past, as well as enlightens the reader as to some of the horrors of their past. The state alchemist serial killer from volume 2 is ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 8

VIZ Media LLC, 2006

More characters and mystery.
This is probably the best installment to date. It adds more characters but tells us little about them, only adding to the evergrowing shroud of mystery that surrounds the Elric brothers. King Bradley, leader of the military, has revealed himself as a homunclus working ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 4

VIZ Media LLC, 2005

BROTHERS SHOULD TALK
After barely surviving their encounters with the guards of Laboratory #5 and the arrival of Lust and Envy, Ed has to be put into the hospital to recover. While he gets in contact with Winry to ask her to come fix him up, Al has something on his mind. Ever since his ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 2

VIZ Media LLC, 2005

simply great
Not much to say about this volume, except that this proves that Hiromu Arakawa is a very talented artist.

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 7

Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2006

GREED WANTS IT ALL
Edward Elric has been so busy reliving the old days with Al and his teacher Izumi, that he totally forgot about his yearly State Alchemist Assessment. If he doesn't pass, he'll lose his license! When he goes to South HQ he is really surprised to find the supreme ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 12

Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2007

Improving some characters, continuing the saga
At this point the manga has separated itself completely from the storyline of the anime, but it's all for the better. The manga has more story to tell, and the author and illustrators are giving all kinds of mysteries and excitement for the readers. I'm not going to ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 13

Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2007

Great Manga, acceptable translation
This volume is enjoyable for any fan of FMA, since it contains scenes with practically all of the characters sans Major Armstrong. The five stars is for Arakawa's writings and drawings, which are superb in this consistently excellent series. The translation, however, ...

Fullmetal Alchemist, Volume 11

Hiromu Arakawa

VIZ Media LLC, 2007

Can it get any better?
After action-packed volume 10, can Fullmetal Alchemist get any better? The answer is yes. Volume 11, while not as edge-of-your-seat exciting as volume 10, is still gripping and delivers a lot of punch. Ed goes to visit his mom's grave, only to find his dad there. ...

The Art Of Fullmetal Alchemist

VIZ Media LLC, 2005

For fans of the manga
Anime fans are out of luck on this one. This is all Hiromu Arakawa's work on the manga. I really like her drawings, and how well she paints and draws always amazes me (Reason for the 5 stars rating). It focuses on the characters from the manga, though a couple pages ...
