Because of this, they are a tad bit more difficult to read than I’d like. Another issue is that the eye is very small, making the volumes not all that flexible while reading. One being that some of the pages break away from the spine over time, usually the first few pages of the volumes. The only negative thing I've noticed about the Fullmetal Alchemist Fullmetal Editions is that their spines and binding have a few issues. Potential negatives to buying the Fullmetal Alchemist Fullmetal Editions The binding needs improvement The Fullmetal Editions collect about 1.5 volumes, so they are approximately $3.76 more expensive than the individual volumes for the same amount of material.

In regards to price, at the time of writing this post, the Fullmetal Editions are selling for $14.99 USD each on RightStuf and the individual paperback volumes of Fullmetal Alchemist's manga are selling for $7.49 a piece. The biggest difference is their height, which allows the panels to stand out more. They are almost the same width, so they don’t take up much more space on the shelf. In terms of size, the individual volumes are approximately 5 x 0.7 x 7.5in while the Fullmetal Editions are 5.75 x 0.8 x 8.25in in size, so they are slightly bigger than the individual volumes all-around.

Also, the Fullmetal Editions are currently the only way to collect Fullmetal Alchemist's manga in a hardcover format. In comparison to the paperback volumes, which released as individual volumes, 3-in-1’s, and a complete box set, the Fullmetal Alchemist Fullmetal Editions differ because they feature new cover art and design, updated translation, new lettering, and some new content, including color inserts and behind-the-scenes character sketches by Hiromu Arakawa.
