鋼の錬金術師 [Hagane no Renkinjutsushi] [Fullmetal Alchemist]

In 2009, Square Enix launched a manga adaptation of the beloved Fullmetal Alchemist franchise, condensing Hiromu Arakawa's sprawling epic into a concise 14-issue run. This series distills the core story of alchemist brothers Edward and Alphonse Elric—who sacrifice their bodies in a failed resurrection—into a streamlined, action-packed narrative. While the original manga remains the definitive version, this compact edition offers a focused entry point for new readers and a fresh take for longtime fans.
