Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 2

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 them both: the legendary Philosopher's Stone.

There are many types of alchemy in the world. Edward's commanding officer, 'Flame Alchemist' Roy Mustang, can control fire. Shou Tucker, the 'Sewing-Life Alchemist,' specializes in the most difficult form of alchemy: biological transmutation — the ability to alter living tissue. But no matter their power, alchemists are still human. When a mysterious killer begins stalking state alchemists, no one can escape his vengeance.
