Fullmetal Alchemist

There are no lessons that do not hurt. Without sacrifice, you cannot gain anything. These are the words spoken at the beginning and end of the story of Edward Elric from the manga "Fullmetal Alchemist." I've had several moments in my life where this resonated, which is why I was drawn into this introduction. The manga's worldview, which states that the fundamental rule of "Equivalent Exchange" exists, that you can only create one from one, and that it's common sense to pay an equivalent price if you desire something new. It's very characteristic that this is depicted more like a narrator than a line of dialogue. Edward, from the lesson of breaking a taboo, finds his own answer at the end of his journey, which is profound. I won't mention this part specifically because I'd prefer you see it after finishing the manga, but the way the title was tied in was brilliant. It's a manga and a motto I still love dearly.
