Fullmetal Alchemist
Yes, you read that title right. Hiromu Arakawa’s Fullmetal Alchemist has made its way to WEBTOON. The sci-fi-fantasy-action series follows brothers Ed and Alphonse as they deal with the repercussions of committing alchemy’s ultimate taboo. The two quickly find themselves in a web of lies, deceit and mystery as they continue further on their journey to recover what they have lost. But is it worth it?
Fullmetal Alchemist was a staple in our childhood. From the manga to both animated series, we have fallen in love with it repeatedly. It combines everything we love in a story, like a vast array of characters with incredible backstories, a large amount of world building, mystery, suspense and action. We are excited that a new group of fans will be able to enjoy this story and Ed’s incredible temper.
Fullmetal Alchemist updates every Thursday. Readers can find it on the official WEBTOON page.

Locke and Key
Our second series is another WEBTOON adaptation, this time from Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. Locke and Key is a fantasy-suspense series that follows siblings who unlock a magical world after moving to the mysterious Keyhouse after their father’s death. It’s a mix of magical fantasy, suspense, and, at times, horror as the siblings try to survive a malicious presence looming within the house’s dark corners.
This isn’t our first time reading Locke and Key, but you can believe that we are just as excited. The series fits into the dark fantasy genre, focusing on creating suspense through the known and unknown. The first chapter is quite a doozy, but it sets the tone for what one can expect throughout the series. It pulls no punches, and the mature rating isn’t just for show. We highly suggest diving into the graphic novel for those who enjoyed the Netflix series. It doesn’t disappoint.
Locke and Key updates every Wednesday. Readers can find it on the official WEBTOON page.
Who I Am: A nerd by the strictest definition. I enjoy diving straight into my favorite fandoms without a care in the world. I live on video/board games, fantasy movies and TV, and all things geeky.
