Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 5 - Hiromu Arakawa

When two brothers dabble in the mystical powers of alchemy to alter the natural world, one of them loses an arm and a leg, and the other becomes a soul locked in a body of living iron. Now they are agents of the government, slaves to the military-alchemical complex, using their unique powers to obey their orders, even to kill. Rated for teens. (Graphic Novels) Breaking the laws of nature is a serious crime! 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. Equipped with mechanical auto-mail limbs, Edward becomes a state alchemist, seeking the one thing that can restore his and his brother's bodies...the legendary Philosopher's Stone. Ed, Alphonse and their mechanic Winry go south in search of Izumi Curtis, the master alchemist who taught the brothers how to use alchemy. But in the boomtown of Rush Valley, an encounter with a pickpocket turns them down a different path in search of an auto-mail blacksmith whose handiwork is the best that Winry has ever seen. Then the action flashes back to the past to show how Ed and Alphonse first learned alchemy...
