Running on Empty

Desperate to save his brother Alphonse, Edward Elric gave up his body and soul-only to end up stranded in Munich, Germany. Lost in a world utterly unfamiliar to him, he grapples with life in the aftermath of World War I’s economic turmoil. Cut off from home and unable to use alchemy to return, Edward works alongside colleagues who remind him uncannily of the people he left behind, searching for another way to escape his predicament. Around him, discontent simmers among the German people, and neighboring nations grow uneasy at the unrest stirring in the defeated country. Meanwhile, Alphonse refuses to give up on his missing brother. He throws himself into the study of alchemy, determined to uncover the truth behind Edward’s disappearance and bring him back.
