I LOVED watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (2009) and as a result, I wanted to start reading the manga before trying the first anime series Fullmetal Alchemist (2003). Brotherhood is perfect but I need more Alchemist content so I plan on doing the manga, both series, the movies and novels. I really do love this series.

I adored both of the anime series growing up, so it was a no brainer for me to pick up the manga now that I've started seriously reading again. Man am I glad I did so. It is so much better than I could've ever imagined.
