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 his brother and himself... the legendary Philosopher's Stone.
The raid on the Devil's Nest becomes a slaughter, as government troops - led by the Führer President himself, King Bradley - exterminate the half-human forces of the Homunculus Greed. But will Ed and Al survive the battle unchanged? As Greed is sent to meet his maker, foreign travelers arrive in Amestris, having crossed the great desert from the eastern country of Xing. Their names are May and Lin, and they've come for the Philosopher's Stone... and a secret even the Elric brothers never imagined...

Caroline told me I should read this series, and I was like, are there any talking cats in it, and she was like, no but there's a baby panda that acts like a cat, and I was like, SOLD.
And then she said, but the baby panda-cat doesn't appear in the first 5 or so volumes.
It actually takes EIGHT volumes for the baby panda-cat to appear but it's pretty great!!
also I'm moderately interested in this other land with its own alchemy or whatever.
but mainly: panda-cat!!!
