About This Book
This manga inspired the popular series now airing on the Cartoon Network and
captures the show's brand of mystical, action-packed adventure. Set in a
steam-powered locale that isn't necessarily in our world, the series follows two
teenage brothers, Edward and Alphonse Elric—one bearing two cybernetic
replacement limbs while the other's soul animates a cumbersome suit of armor.
The two are government agents wielding prodigious abilities in alchemy who carry
out the hazardous assignments issued by their handlers. Their exploits range
from thwarting the machinations of a fraudulent and ambitious priest who abuses
the faith of his oblivious flock to cunningly extracting an impoverished mining
community from the exorbitant clutches of a corrupt official and dealing with a
train-hijack situation that owes a serious debt to the film Under Siege. In a
market glutted with too many like-minded efforts, Arakawa's work grabs readers
and shakes them with simple yet eloquent visuals and a bizarre concept. To give
away more would ruin the story, but the snippets of the brothers' origin hint at
much darker things to come, and such portents herald fun in upcoming
installments. -- From Publishers Weekly
