Fullmetal Alchemist Vol.1 (manga) Review

i read volume 1, it was nice and adventurous

i remembered a story i wrote from 2010-2012 and it consisted in three 3 arcs but i stopped writing it.

reading this volume made me continue writing my story.

I want to say that all whats in this review is based on my own understanding so if i misunderstood something please correct me
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward Alphonse Elric are both alchemist, they work for the military.

alchemy is a power that an alchemist have.

you can remake objects and use them and actually make a new kind of metal. and sometimes it involves science and technology.

but "foundation of the alchemy is the Equivalent  Exchange" 

so that mean to make something you must have the same amount of the thing you want to make?

for example if i want to make a statue, i have to use enough materials to make one, enough rocks or metal.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Edward and Alphonse are in this town and there is this religious man, more like god to the people there.

he heard the people saying that he is a man of miracles.

so Edward and Alphonse went to see this man and they knew he was a fraud because they attended this ceremony of his. 

he uses this ring, which is powerful and Edward and Alphonse have been looking for. 

this ring gives you energy to make objects and stuff and its illegal according to the alchemy rules.

so Father Corenello (the fraud) expected them.

fights happened and then Edward make a mic in the room and let Corenello confess that he is a fraud and he wants people to follow his religion and be able to die for him and the sake for his religion.

when Edward defeated him and he was to take the ring, it was a fake. 

----

the next chapter was an adventure, they stopped at coal mines, and the people there were so poor and barely paid there taxes, when Edward and Alphonse came they were excited that they had customers and when they found out they were alchemist they kicked them out. the man who owns the mines is a lieutenant, he barges in and tells them to pay the taxes. he notice Edward and Edward shows him a medallion that shows he works for the king and stuff.

so the lieutenant change his attitude and invite him to dinner. and the lieutenant bribes him but edward is all like silent.

the lieutenant decided to burn down the people's place. and so when edward knows about this, he takes the coal left overs and turns them into gold (which is illegal) and he sends it to the lieutenant and asks him to sell the coal mine for him, the lieutenant agrees and edward asks him to add  "free of charge" and he sold it to edward. 

edward went straight to the people's house, and sold the coal mine for food and a place to stay. 

- it was a good happy ending *^*- 

the next chapter is that edward and alphonse are in the train and its hijacked, the military, are about to make a move but when they check the list of the passengers, they notice Edward and Alphonse in the list.

mean while, edward is sleeping and one the bad people are like waking him up, and when he says the word shorty, edward automatically beat the shit out of him (that part made me lmao)

so yeah he beat the shit out of them, when they reach the station, the military or Roy Mustang to be precise is there

Roy Mustang: a new character. he is a flame alchemist

Edward and Alphonse Past:

you will see that i did not include this in the description because its important.

so when the Elric brothers were young the wanted to bring there mother back to life, Edward was a smart boy, more like intelligent, he came up with a way to bring his mother back, but he was punished, how? i dont know, by who? i dont know, god?

the result of it that Edward lost his right arm and left leg. while his little brother lost all his body, back then Edward tried to bring his brother's soul to the robot and succeeded. 

and now they're looking for a stone to bring their body parts back.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hopes and Expectations:

- i hope Alphonse get his body back, i wanna see him!

- looking forward to a female heroine character? more brave and independent.

- Edward is funny and has a great personality, i hope they dont change that in the anime.

- i look forward for more explanation about Alchemy? and how does it work? can any one obtain such power? 

- i have a feeling Alphonse is gonna die.
