3 Arakawa Is Like Alphonse
Growing up in a large family with three older sisters and a younger brother, Arakawa was constantly learning from her older siblings. Arakawa has stated that her older sisters were often boisterous and would argue with her parents. She, however, would watch them and slowly learned how to avoid getting into trouble. Arakawa cites this as the reason why she feels the most like Alphonse Elric.
Alphonse is an obliging character who tries to avoid conflict. He is generous and compassionate and has a high respect for authority. Arakawa feels the closest to Alphonse because she was just the same as a child.
Early Life
Hokkaio, formally known as Ezo, is the northernmost region of Japan. Within it, are the small districts of Tokachi, population just 6,000. Despite being born into these little known, discreet regions – Hiromu Arakawa’s basic farming upbringing forced her imagination to provide entertainment during the laborious and repetitive labour periods. Raised by a farming family, Arakawa spent her early years working on her parents’ dairy facility with her sisters – the entire family being educated at the local agricultural school. Restricted to her farm chores, Arakawa often dreamt of a life ‘beyond the hills’ and saw her limited, yet treasured, managa collection as her potential escape. She began to invest her hard-earned savings on drawing classes in the local town.
Realsing there was more to life than her parents farm; she decided the time was right to seek greater opportunities. Moving to Tokyo, she made a brave promise to her parents; she stated that she’d only to ever return home to Tokachi once she had realised her manga dream and had become professional. Fortunately, It wouldn’t be too long until she was back home to visit.
2 Arakawa’s Identity
Arakawa has always been fairly shy about revealing her identity. Arakawa initially chose the pen name «Edmund Arakawa» since it was a man’s name, and she didn’t want her target audience to shy away from a shonen created by a woman. However, she eventually settled on «Hiromu» Arakawa since it was still close to her actual name, Hiromi.
«Hiromu» and «Edmund» are not the only pen names she’s used. When Arakawa collaborated on the project Hero Tales, she is credited with the name Huang Jin Zhou. Arakawa is known to be a private person, which would account for having another pen name. Arakawa is so secretive that fans are hard-pressed to even find decent images of her.
Fullmetal Alchemist
Arakawa’s first continuous series, Fullmetal Alchemist, gave the author international outreach and has since become her most famous work. Fullmetal Alchemist, set in a fictional universe, follows the life journey of two brothers Edward and Alphonse – both in search for the philosopher’s stone. They’re hoping to restore their damaged bodies after an attempt to bring their mother back from the dead (using alchemy) failed.
Since 2001, the series has been adapted into two animated films and as many television series – available in both Japanese and English. Worldwide, the franchise received rave reviews and critical acclaim in abundance. Fullmetal Alchemist is noted for its exploration of social problems – including discrimination, political creed and family war, a rare feature within the genre.

The Mary Shelley Of Manga
Arakawa repeatedly targets science without ethics in her art; knowledge gained at the cost of others isn’t worth the prize. Fultac’s rage at the scientist who abandoned him as a failed experiment is echoed when Ed attacks the unapologetic Shou Tucker. Due to her childhood in agriculture, Arakawa respects the natural order of the world. “Equivalent Exchange” and “one is all, all is one” are concepts used in “Fullmetal Alchemist” to describe this flow of the world. I’ve compared “Fullmetal Alchemist” to “Frankenstein” before; her comedy manga “Raiden-18,” where a mad scientist creates a Frankenstein’s Monster to be her house-husband, confirms the influence of Mary Shelley.
While Fultac is a product of such science, the Elrics are perpetrators. Their journey began when they tried to revive their mother, violating alchemy’s ultimate taboo of human transmutation. The wounds they suffered is why they seek the universal elixir, the Philosopher’s Stone. Like Fultac, the Elric brothers learn that you can’t run away from your past; you must acknowledge and learn from it. At the same time, their suffering isn’t unique. If you turn a blind eye to evil, it will flourish. So like Fultac destroying the lab where he was born, the Elrics turn against the military that’s sponsored them and help to overthrow it.
The final shared lesson of “Stray Dog” and “Fullmetal Alchemist” is that death is out of mankind’s hands. Fultac orders the wounded Kilka not to die, saying dogs must obey their masters, but to no avail. While grieving Nina, Ed declares with despondence, “We’re not gods. We’re humans. Tiny, insignificant humans… who couldn’t even save a little girl.” It’s a lesson Ed carries with him to the end of his journey and one that Arakawa clearly hopes her audience absorbed as well.

Stray Dog’s DNA In Fullmetal Alchemist
“Fullmetal Alchemist” began publication in 2001, two years after “Stray Dog” and also via Monthly Shonen Gangan. The more you compare the two, the more “Stray Dog” feels like a blueprint for Arakawa’s soon-to-come serialization.
Chimeras are part of “Fullmetal Alchemist” from the beginning. In chapter 1, the Elrics face a lion-snake chimera (evoking the image of a griffin) controlled by evil cult leader Father Cornello. As the story goes on, it’s revealed the military of Amestris (the Elrics’ homeland) has been experimenting to create human-animal chimeras; one of them, Dolcetto, was merged with a dog (though, unlike Nina, retained his humanity).
Fultac and Kilka’s relationship, a traumatized warrior followed by a loyal young girl, is one Arakawa recreated in “Fullmetal Alchemist” with Scar and his companion May Chang. Speaking of, Amestrian Führer King Bradley looks a lot like an older, mustachioed Fultac. Arakawa has a tendency to reuse character designs; the lead of her ongoing manga, “Yomi No Tsugai/Daemons of the Shadow Realm,” looks like a male Riza Hawkeye.
State Alchemists are also called “dogs of the military,” a metaphor for how they do the dirty work of a dictatorship. Episode 43 of the 2003 anime, when Ed becomes a fugitive, is even titled “Stray Dog” in what may be a nod to Arakawa’s one-shot.
7 Fullmetal Alchemist & Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Arakawa’s most notable work is Fullmetal Alchemist. The show inspired not only one anime but two. The first anime, Fullmetal Alchemist, debuted in 2003. Arakawa worked on the development of the show, but since her manga series was yet to be finished, the anime creators took their license and created their own ending for the story.
Years later, came out, which more closely followed the manga, especially the ending. It is said that Arakawa shared the ending with the show’s director so they would have an idea about Arakawa’s intentions for the story. Still, many fans feel that the manga is a lot darker and more serious than either anime.
Realising the Dream
Upon moving to Tokyo, Arakawa began to make amateur doujins – self-published manga, novels and fan guides. Her work was impressive and she soon got noticed; she was offered a paid job drawing comic shorts – also known as 4koma. At the publication – Gamest, Arakawa, would ridicule and sketch comical illustrations of the games featured within the magazine. During this time, Arakawa credited her work to the alias Edmund Arakawa. After the success of these illustrations, she was able to get a job working as the assistant to the celebrated Etō Hiroyuki. In 1999, Arakawa finally had her first professional managa series titled The Stray Dog – published by Enix. The publication won numerous awards and landed the newcomer with a long–term Enix contract. Arakawa finally had some substantial power behind her talent.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Early Sketchers
Stray Dog
Hiromi Arakawa was born and grew up on a dairy farm in Hokkaido, Japan. Desiring to be a shōnen manga artist, she adopted the more masculine “Hiromu” as a pen name. Her dream came true in 1999 when the magazine Monthly Shōnen Gangan (a Square Enix imprint) published her 50-page one-shot “Stray Dog.”
The story is definitely an early work, the type where an author hasn’t totally found their own identity yet, and so relies on familiar tropes to set their stage. Set in a vague fantasy world, “Stray Dog” is a riff on “Berserk.” The lead, Fultac, is a dead-ringer for Guts — a wandering warrior with one eye and a huge sword.
Arakawa’s spin on this familiar tale comes when Fultac examines a crate carried by some thieves he killed. Inside is a “Military Dog,” a creature, we’re told, was created as a living weapon via “combining magic and chemistry” (aka alchemy). Named Kilka, this military dog’s design is inverse of Nina’s; Kilka is a little girl with golden eyes and dog ears, rather than a dog with human hair and soulless eyes.
Kilka begins to follow Fultac around like, well, a dog. That is until they’re attacked by a bounty hunter named Bartley and his own fully-grown military dog named Brakshia. Fultac defeats Bartley but loses his left arm to Brakshia; Kilka gives her life to save her master.
A grieving Fultac tracks down the castle lab where military dogs are created and lays waste to it, freeing a young dog-child who replaces the lost Kilka. The final twist? When Fultac removes his eye patch before the lab’s mad scientist, it turns out he isn’t hiding a wound, but a golden eye. The “Stray Dog” was the human warrior we’d been following all along.
