Fullmetal Alchemist 2 - Full Metal Edition Hardcover

This premium hardcover edition of Fullmetal Alchemist drives the Elric brothers deeper into the machinery of war and moral compromise. Edward and Alphonse’s search for the Philosopher’s Stone pulls them into the orbit of the State Alchemists, where loyalty is currency and secrets are buried beneath medals. The haunting aftermath of Nina Tucker’s fate still lingers, casting a long shadow over every choice they make.

As Scar emerges as a relentless force of vengeance, the series shifts into higher gear, blending explosive alchemical battles with sharp political undercurrents. Each confrontation strips away another layer of the military’s polished façade, hinting that the true enemy may not wear a villain’s grin at all. Arakawa balances brutal action with razor wit, letting Edward’s stubborn pride and Al’s steady compassion anchor the chaos.

In this oversized Fullmetal Edition format, the art feels weightier, the panels breathing with detail and impact. The adventure expands, the conspiracy thickens, and the cost of forbidden alchemy presses harder against the brothers’ already fractured lives.
