This is my first time diving into manga, and I absolutely loved it! I found the story to be super intriguing and I can't wait to start the next one! I really enjoyed how it mixes dark, action-packed moments with goofy, funny ones. And the artwork is fantastic—especially during the action scenes where it feels like the movement jumps off the page.

I did find the first volume to be the weakest of the three, but that doesn't mean it was at all bad. The story just seemed to get more developed in the next two. The best part of the series for me is the relationship between the brothers. The backstory moments really help you understand them and their bond. It's great how they draw strength not just from their alchemy abilities but from their love and support for each other.
