Thoughts: This is one of my favorite manga ever, so of course I'm gonna recommend it. I'm rereading this as I'm working on collecting the physical volumes. It's a fantastic series that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster, so be prepared for both laughs and tears. As far as most shonen goes, this one stands against the test of time.

Great introduction to one of my favorite manga/anime stories of all time. I watched the television series when I was in college and fell in love with the series. The manga has given me the opportunity to dive deeper into the world for the Elric Brothers and I'm very glad I did. 5-stars!!!
