Fullmetal Alchemist is a Japanese manga created by Hiromu Arakawa. It was serialized in Monthly Shonen Gangan in 2001 and concluded in 2010. The total number of copies of the 27 volumes of the book has reached 61 million, setting a record for the number of copies of Square Enix's book.

The story of this game takes place in a world where alchemy is quite developed. In this world, "alchemy" must follow the law of "equivalent exchange": in order to obtain something, you need to exchange it at the same price. Edward Elric and his brother Alphonse Elric miss their mother who died when they were young. In order to see their mother again, they carried out the biggest taboo in alchemy - human body transmutation. However, due to the backlash during transmutation, Al lost his whole body and Ed lost his left foot. In order to exchange for his brother, Edward sacrificed his right hand as a price to transmute his brother's soul, and fixed his brother Alphonse's soul on a suit of armor. From then on, Edward and Alphonse began their journey to find their bodies in order to get back everything they had lost. Edward's lost right arm and left leg were replaced by steel prosthetics "mechanical armor", so he was awarded the title of "steel", so he was called "Fullmetal Alchemist".
