List of Fullmetal Alchemist manga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of chapters for the manga series, Fullmetal Alchemist

Fullmetal Alchemist has been serialized in Square Enix's monthly anthology manga magazine Monthly Shonen Gangan since July 2001 and is still ongoing with a new chapter in every issue. As of March 2007, there have been 69 chapters serialized and 16 graphic novel compilations released. Viz Media began releasing the manga in North America in May 2005;^[1] since then, twelve English-language volumes have been released.

Due to the fairly rapid rate that Viz Media is introducing the graphic novels (a new release approximately every two months), the English translation is quickly catching up to the Japanese release, having already covered three-fourths of the series to date. According to Nielsen Bookscan, Fullmetal Alchemist's first volume was the top selling manga in the year of 2005,^[2] and the following issues of the manga usually appear on the Bookscan's weekly Overall Graphic Novel top 10 list. Beginning with volume eight, Viz Media's releases of the manga will feature a new, updated version of the "Viz Action" logo at the top of the spine. However, recent controversy among fans began when the news broke that volume eight contains an edit in two panels.^[3]

In Singapore, the manga is being released by Chuang Yi Publishing in both English and Simplified Chinese. 12 volumes have been released in English while 14 volumes have been released in Simplified Chinese. In Poland, JPFantastica is releasing the manga; as of March 2007, 5 volumes have been released. In France, the manga is being released by Kurokawa. As of March 2007, 12 volumes have been released. Volume 8, released in September 2006, was available alone or in a collector's edition, which consisted of the book packed with the original humorous novel Flame Alchemist, focusing on Roy Mustang's schedule. Before that, this novel was only available with the first print run of volume 6 in Japan, making it highly collectible.

Viz's official English translation titles through Chapter 49, unofficial Japanese translations thereafter.

[edit] U.S. edits

So far the content of the manga released by Viz in the United States does not differ much from the original material. The only edit so far is one panel from volume 8 showing the Homunculus Greed tied (in crucifixion style) to a cross-shaped stone slab. In the U.S. version the stone was redesigned to become round-like, probably to avoid references to Christianity.^[4]
