Full Metal Alchemist (manga) help?

Question

In the anime, FMA ends on episode 51 Laws and Promises. What chapter in the manga does the series continue?

Answer 1

The series doesn't continue in the manga. There is a FMA movie called Conquerer of Shambala that takes place after the series and a few shorts that were released on DVDs.

The manga is still being worked on today, and is released monthly. About half way throught the anime it breaks off from the manga and is an entire new and original story.

There are a lot of changes and it's best to read the manga from the start. It's a completely different story with all the characters so it's a new experience.
