  " One who accepts and understands the flow of power, and constructs using that knowledge...is called an alchemist. The world is basically functioning according to this flow life and death of humans are part of this as well. That's why you should never, ever try to revive human being. "
  
  Cada vez me están gustando más los personajes. Este tomo por fin se profundiza sobre la historia de los hermanos Elric y la verdad es que es un poco desgarradora. Tengo muchas ganas de llegar al climax de la historia. Siento que me voy a sorprender y mucho.

  THIS volume is largely dedicated to the backstory of Edward and Alphonse and omg I'm not crying you are!! I love seeing the brothers when they were younger! They have such a genuine, loving bond and it makes me so sad to see them before everything went wrong (but also happy to see that they were happy and smol). Their backstory is so devastating but I loved reading it and FINALLY getting all the information I wanted. It's honestly such a great backstory!! Seeing their relationship with their teacher develop was also really wonderful. Keen to know more about the new character we meet at the end so ON TO ANOTHER VOLUME FOR ME!

  This was a great one as it tells the origin finally! We start off with their stay on the island and how they survived that and then training under their teacher, her harsh lessons and their continuous efforts and then the whole human transmutation and what led to them joining the military and they tell it all to their teacher and she is angry but then they start working on the solution. That part was so good to see and it like clears all the doubts about their origin and all and gives you a clean lens to see through and understand them properly plus the rich and emotional story is the most touching part.
  
  The thing with Roy and the next villains is interesting. I like how this volume manages the emotional aspects, character conflicts and turmoil and makes you care for all the characters and I like how the author is exploring the different villains slowly. Plus the art was so much better here and compliments the story really well.

  A brilliant volume completely dedicated to the Elric brothers' childhood and their transformative days, from their training under Izumi's guidance to the tragic attempt to resurrect a loved one to his acquisition of a new identity as the Fullmetal Alchemist, this story reveals the dark secrets that Ed learned through trial and error.

  The second half of the Elric Brothers origin story concludes as we get to see all the scenes previously hinted at or only partially revealed. Now maybe we can get an explanation for the cabal of villains who've been popping up?

  Volume six gives that much-needed exposition and flashback story to beef-up the character development on the Elric brothers. Much of the scenes here show the pre-state alchemist events that happened, including the failed human transmutation!
  
  Plus, there's a new band of enemies in this arc! Cool.

  Love that we got some more context on how the characters ended up where they are. Izumi is also a favourite character, love her!

  Aww I really liked their origin story. Poor little bros.
  
  Also: no cats died.
  
  But: some rabbits died. But I felt okay about it because it was for food on a desert island. Also they went to rabbit heaven in the bonus pages.
  
  I am aware: that my GoodReads is basically DoesTheDogDie.com for books, and I think that is a useful service to provide.

  Şimdilik tüm seride en sevdiğim sayı bu oldu, Elric kardeşlerin geçmişini okumak oldukça zevkliydi. Adada yaşananlar ve Ed'in sık sık gülünç duruma düşmesi de bu cildi ayrıca keyifli hale getirmiş.

  I struggled a little bit with this volume and I'm not sure if its because we see the heartbreak and hardship that the Elric brothers went through or if its because of THAT THING and everything involving it (and the entire situation). I just felt somewhat loss in making some of the connections and what the truth was and not sure if its because I was sleepy at the time I read it or not. I know its a very pivotal moment though!
  
  However with that said, I have a strong feeling that if I would have been reading this as a young teen, I'm pretty sure I would have had a crush on Edward! LOL! He was super cool at his test and as an adult was pretty shocked and impressed just how talented he is!
  
  Despite how hard their teacher may be on them, she continues to be amazing! My heart went out to her in hearing some of her story and really glad that they have all teamed up, even though it seems a new alchemist is joining the fray?! Seriously, when do Edward and Al ever get a break because just when things seem to be on the calmer side, a new villain pops up and they are thrust into danger again!

  Iniziamo qui a riscoprire quelle che sono un po’ le origini del duo protagonista. Il perché dell’armatura di Al e gli auto-mail di Ed, ciò che fecero e che cambiò per sempre le loro vite… veniamo messi di fronte alla 'verità’. Inoltre, il loro percorso istruttivo sull’isola e gli insegnamenti di Izumi che consentirono loro di maturare e farsi trovare preparati per il difficoltoso viaggio che hanno intrapreso.
  Nel finale: Greed!

  Really touches on the dark side of the story and the whole premise of what they’re going for, lose bodies but gain knowledge ≠ a good deal

  Un volumen importante que nos cuenta cómo es que Edward y Alphonse se convirtieron en alquimistas.
  
  Cuando eran unos niños, su padre les abandonó y unos años después su madre murió por una enfermedad. A partir de allí, su meta fue intentar traerla de regreso, aún si aquello suponía un tabú para la alquimia.
  
  Ya conocemos cuál fue el precio que tuvieron que pagar, pero es sumamente interesante ver cómo la alquimia es algo que requiere de un estudio constante, y no sólo eso, también necesita de una mente sana que comprenda el equilibrio que existe en el universo.
  
  Para todo existe un ciclo y cuando éste se altera, es cuando ocurren catástrofes. Es por eso que intentar revivir un ser humano es algo prohibido. Todas las vidas, desde el momento en que comienzan, están destinadas a perecer, pero lo que sea que hagamos en ese interludio es lo que cuenta.
  
  Ciertamente, Edward es un genio de la alquimia pues con tan sólo 12 años le ofrecieron un cargo del gobierno. Sin embargo, su maestra Izumi, al igual que los adultos que los conocen a más profundidad, saben que él y Alphonse sólo son un par de chiquillos que necesitan un hogar al cual pertenecer, gente que se preocupe y cuide de ellos. Pese a ello, ellos continúan viajando, dándonos a entender que su camino apenas comienza y muchos secretos que podrían no resultar del todo favorables.
  
  Siendo honestos, lo que más me gusta de la serie hasta ahora es el lazo de hermanos tan fuerte que tienen y cómo, sin importar lo que suceda, siempre se cuidan mutuamente. Eso es precioso, real, y digno de ser admirado.
  
  Este volumen incluye los capítulos 22 – 25.

  The sixth volume of this manga is dedicated mostly to more back story. I love seeing Al in his real body, and the love between these brothers is a constant highlight in this series. It has many touching moments, but didn't engage me as much as the previous two volumes did. We find out more about alchemy and the world these books are set in, which was intriguing. On to the next one!
