Book 1: The Steel Alchemist. Volume 1

Alchemy tore apart the bodies of the Elric brothers. Can the brotherly bond help them become whole again?

The world created by Hiromu Arakawa is a manifesto of technological progress, where alchemy occupies a special place - an exact science that does not forgive arrogance and mistakes. It does not have many laws, but the ones that do exist cannot be broken. It does not allow playing with the human soul and punishes mercilessly, but this does not stop those who are ready to sacrifice everything . But is it worth trying to pull someone out of death's arms? Aren' t you afraid of dying yourself?"

During the resurrection ritual, Alphonse finds himself on the verge of life and death, he becomes incorporeal. And what about Edward? He paid for this attempt with his foot. With incredible effort, he manages to save his brother's soul by binding it to his armour. But this is hardly life. How to bring your brother back? There is only one way - the legendary Philosopher's Stone, which gives the alchemist unlimited power over matter.

Edward is a steel alchemist in the service of the army. Now he can find a cure for his brother. On the way to his goal, the alchemist does not disdain anything, turning the barely alive Alphonse into a killing machine. But will the Philosopher ' s Stone get any closer? The Steel Alchemist. Volume 2

Alchemy does not forgive mistakes. The Elric brothers have already learnt this, but they have nothing to lose. The life of one of them is no longer a life. The other lives only with the dream of returning himself and his brother to what has already been, what is no longer there.

They are ready to take the risk. They have to. They have made a few steps towards the goal, and there are only burned bridges behind them.

Alchemy must obey Edward, and the search for the Philosopher's Stone must succeed. Alphonse will have a body again. Edward will get rid of the steel that holds his arm and leg. He feels that the solution is close: why else would they be hunting him? It seems that all he has to do is reach out to succeed, but the secret manuscript claims that the Philosopher's Stone can not only bring the Elrics no closer to their goal, but also take them infinitely further away from it.

A new obstacle or an unexpected opportunity - alchemy is still so ambiguous. The Steel Alchemist. Volume 3

The search for the philosopher's stone continues for the Elric brothers, because only in this way they will be able to regain themselves - who is part of themselves, and who is the whole physical manifestation. An unsuccessful alchemical experiment disfigured them but did not kill them, creating a special bond between the brothers. It seems that Edward was less fortunate, as Alphonse was left without a body, chained to his armour. With the Philosopher's Stone, they can fix everything. And become what they were again."

They won't, because this experience will stay with them forever, but how can they not try?

While Edward is in Lab 5 trying to find a trace of the Philosopher's Stone, he encounters a character he would rather not meet. Will this encounter bring him useful information?

The guardian alphonse is also having a hard time. Someone really doesn't want Elrica's brothers to find out what really happened here...
