Fullmetal Alchemist, Vol. 2

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 alchemy of all...biological transmutation, the ability to alter the tissue of living things. But no matter what their power, alchemists are still human. And when a mysterious killer begins stalking state alchemists, no one can escape his vengence...

4/5 Rating: Originally posted at https://mylifemybooksmyescape.wordpress.com/2015/05/05/manga-review-fullmetal-alchemist-vol-2-fullmetal-alchemist-2-by-hiromu-arakawa/Volume 2 focuses on advancing the plot; The Elric Brother's past, the Philosopher's Stone, the military, and the introduction of Scar. This volume still had it moments of action, but overall felt plot driven and had a more cohesive feel to it - rather than each chapter feeling like a separate episode.After our introduction to Colonel Roy Mustang, aka. The Flame Alchemists, at the end of Volume 1, the Elric brothers waste no time and request that he give them more information on where to learn more about bio-alchemy. This takes the brothers to the home of Shout Tucker, the Sewing-Life Alchemist. There, we learn about Tucker's creation of a talking Chimera, and also a dark secret of his that causes Ed to face a truth from his past.While at the Tucker residents, a mysterious man, know only as Scar, shows up to do the work of God. After the Elric brother's and state alchemist's interaction with Scar, it leaves both Ed and Al injured. In order to 'repair' themselves, they must go off to Resembool to see their mechanic. Before they reach their destination though, they run into a man who has been long thought dead, which causes them to take a slight detour on their trip.We meet an array of new characters this time around; my favorite being Major Alex Louis Armstrong. He has a very intense battle with Scar and pulls off this pretty badass "elegant alchemical technique". Also - it may be my inner bodybuilder - but his panel on bottom of page 116 is both epicly awesome and hilarious XDThe new mystery man we meet is Scar, who is like the hand-of-God.
