Release
Fullmetal Alchemist has been serialized in Square Enix's monthly anthology manga magazine Monthly Shonen Gangan since January 2001 and is still ongoing with a new chapter in every issue. Along with Yakitate!! Japan, the series won the 49th Shogakukan Manga Award for shōnen in 2004.[4] As of December 2007, there have been 78 chapters serialized and 17 graphic novel compilations released. Viz Media began releasing the manga in North America in May 2005;[5] as of December 18, 2007, fifteen English-language volumes have been released.
Due to the fairly fără întârziere 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,[6] 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 featured a new, updated version of the "Viz Action" logo at the top of the spine. Reprints of earlier volumes also contain this change.
U.S. edit
So far the content of the manga released by Viz in the United States does not differ much from the original material. As of August 2007, the only edit that has been made is to a set of twelve panels from volume 8, depicting 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 in each panel, probably to avoid references to Christianity.[7]
