summary

The military nation of Amestris is located in a world where alchemy has developed as a science.

Edward Elric (Ed) and his younger brother Alphonse Elric (Al), both of whom have had outstanding alchemical talents since childhood, attempt to revive their mother who died of illness through “human alchemy,” which is considered the greatest taboo in alchemy, but fail.

Ed loses his left leg and Al loses his whole body.

Ed makes a hasty decision to use his right arm as a substitute for Al’s soul, and manages to save his brother from the brink of death by attaching Al’s soul to his body armor.

However, the Elric brothers lost too much.

Later, Ed hears that if he obtains a national qualification as a “national alchemist,” he will receive a hefty research grant, access to special literature and national research facilities, and may be able to find a way to regain his body.

Ed decides to have Pinako Rockbell, a mechanical armor technician, and Winry Rockbell, Pinako’s grandson and childhood friend, put on steel prosthetic arms and legs called “mechanical armor” (automail), and after a year of rehabilitation, he and Al take the national alchemist’s examinations.

Ed, who had acquired the ability to perform alchemy by simply putting his palms together through human body alchemy, became the youngest person ever to qualify as a national alchemist.

Ed, who was given the second name “Steel” as a national alchemist for having a right arm and left leg of steel, abandoned his hometown and set off on a long journey with Al to find a way to regain his body.
