when I who am called a "weapon" or a "monster" fight a real monster, I can fully realise than I am just a "human".

Fullmetal Alchemist (
Hagane no Renkinjutsushi) made its debut in the
August 2001 issue of
Monthly Shounen Gangan. Created by the genius
Arakawa Hiromu, the series won an award in the
Shogakukan Manga Awards (shounen section) in the year 2004. A delicious mixture of drama, suspense, humor, horror and intrigue,
Fullmetal Alchemist is still being published every month in chapters of approximately 40 pages and then compiled into tankoubons (or volumes).
Roy Mustang is a 29 year-old
colonel within the
National Amestris Army at the start of the series. He's also a national qualified alchemist who goes by the codename of
Flame Alchemist, due to his ability to control fire by manipulating the concentration of oxygen in the air. He's the one who found our main characters Edward and Alphonse Elric in their hometown and recruited Ed to be a national alchemist years ago.
