I couldn't believe there wasn't a thread for this, so I made one. This manga is amazing, and if you want to watch the anime, watch the brotherhood version.
Set in a fictional universe in which alchemy is one of the most advanced scientific techniques, the story follows the Elric brothers, Edward and Alphonse, who are searching for a philosopher's stone to restore their bodies after a failed attempt to bring their mother back to life using alchemy. The brothers were born in a village called Resembool in the country of Amestris, where they lived with their mother Trisha Elric. Their father, Van Hohenheim, left home for unknown reasons and years later, Trisha died of a terminal illness. After their mother's death, Ed is determined to bring her back to life using alchemy, an advanced science in which objects can be created from raw materials. Ed and Al research human transmutation—a forbidden art in which one attempts to create or modify a human being. Their attempt to bring back their mother fails and results in the loss of Edward's left leg and right arm and Alphonse's entire body. However, Edward manages to save his brothers' soul by sacrificing his right arm to affix Alphonse's soul to a suit of armor. A few days later, an alchemist named Roy Mustang visits the Elric brothers and proposes that Edward become a member of the State Military of Amestris in exchange for more research materials to find a way to recover their bodies. After that, Edward's left leg and right arm are replaced with automail, a type of advanced prosthetic limb, built for him by his friend Winry Rockbell and her grandmother Pinako. Ed and Al then set off to search for the stone, Ed being a new State Alchemist.
