Fullmetal Alchemist: The Complete Four-Panel Comics

Alchemy tore the Elric brothers’ bodies apart. Can their bond make them whole again? In an alchemical ritual gone wrong, Edward Elric lost his arm and his leg, and his brother Alphonse became nothing but a soul in a suit of armor. Though the Elric brothers’ circumstances are tragic, in these spoofs penned by author Hiromu Arakawa, the duo’s quest to reclaim their bodies is completely hilarious!
