5.0 out of 5 stars Alchemical killer, 11 Jul 2009
By T. R. Alexander (East Anglia, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
As Elric brothers continue there search for a way to regain their original bodies they meet the `Sewing-Life Alchemist' Shou Tucker a specialist in bio-alchemy but Shou has some terrible secrets of his own. Added to this a serial killer targeting State Alchemists has come to town seeking vengeance.

Fullmetal Alchemist takes a darker turn in this second volume with a highly increased body count and some rather dark scenes. The plot is advancing well and the cast of characters grows somewhat in this volume, as well some information on the settings history. The Fullmetal Alchemist manga is an enjoyable read and is improving with every volume.

5.0 out of 5 stars The stakes are upped and the plot gets darker in the second volume of Fullmetal Alchemist, 27 April 2009
Following on from the lightweight first volume, this sees the Elrics entering into darker territory. There's a serial killer on the loose targeting state alchemist and he wants to make Ed his next victim; a troubled man is driven to desperate measures to keep his status as a state alchemist; a life or death fight leaves the Elrics needing to returning to their home town and on the way there a chance encounter with an old friend of Armstrong's gives them vital evidence in their quest for the philosopher's stone. But are they strong enough to stand against the deadly conspiracy that surrounds this artefact?

Like volume one, this contains stories that will be familiar to viewers of the first anime, but there's plenty of differences - don't make the mistake of thinking that just because you've seen the episodes you can skip this volume. The stories 'An Alchemist's Suffering' (equivalent to the episode 'Night of the Chimera's Cry') and 'The Road of Hope' (the story that great chunks of the episode 'The Ishbal Massacre' was taken from) are considerably different, with completely different resolutions for several of the characters.

Volume two also sees the introduction of my favourite Fullmetal Alchemist character - Maes Hughes. This makes it, for me, a volume that cannot be missed.

If you enjoy your fantasy dark, with good internal logic, reams of subtext and lots of comedy then this is a must buy. If you've never read manga then FMA is a good place to start, being one of the more intelligent titles available, but given the complex on-going story I'd recommend starting at volume one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Volume two, 2 Feb 2009
By Ms. J. M. Brundle "Fantasysangel" (Yeovil, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Volume two continues right after the previous volume where we meet Mustang and his charismatic and trustworthy subordinates in East City. To help with their research, Mustang sends Ed and Al to meet `The Sewing Life Alchemist', Shou Tucker and his daughter Nina and dog Alexander. Not only that, but there is a mass murderer on the loose with the name `Scar', who is targeting State Alchemists by exploding their brains from the insides (this is NOT for children). Ed and Al suddenly find themselves confronting this red-eyed man from the Ishval war, with their lives on the balance. Also in this book, Ed and Al meet Tim Marcoh, a former Alchemist who becomes a very key character later on in the manga.

This edition is fast paced with the introduction of many new and very important characters. If you enjoyed the anime, then this volume is pretty much the same with a few minor differences.
