By Hiromu Arakawa

 The story focuses on the brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric, who in a world where there is alchemy, dream of becoming state alchemists. Both children lived in a small town with their mother.

One day his mother dies because of an illness, and the elder brother, Edward, decides to use alchemy to revive her although it is forbidden. However, the attempt is failed and as a result Edward loses his left leg, and Alphonse his body. In an effort to save his brother, Edward sacrifices his right arm to seal Alphonse's soul in armor. Thanks to the help of his neighbor Edward manages to save himself. A few months later an alchemist named Roy Mustang visits the Elric brothers and proposes to Edward to become a member of the armed forces of the State and thus find a way to recover their bodies. Then the left leg and Edward's right arm are replaced by an automail, a type of advanced prosthesis.

So Edward begins to investigate on the philosopher's Stone, which is the only way to recover his brother's body. In addition they will face the Homúnculos who are also behind the philosopher's stone.
