“The first issue was published in color, but after that I had no more color copies. […] So I thought, ‘Oh, it’s not popular,’ and I was relieved (laughs). Monthly Shonen Gangan is cancelled after at least two volumes of a title, so I was also considering that pattern. [para Fullmetal Alchemist]If it doesn’t work, I’ll just do ‘next, next, next’ […] When I heard the number of copies of the first volume, I thought, ‘This will definitely not sell. ‘ I spoke to my editor and said, ‘If it doesn’t sell, let’s go north together and sell it. ‘ (laughs)
However, Fullmetal Alchemist collected 27 volumes of manga, has two anime installments and several live-action films. The series is one of the most beloved shonen in the contemporary manga and anime industry.
