I'm a fan of FMA (the original anime series), but this cover doesn't do much for me personally. I prefer badass Edward Elric to kind of mopey Edward Elric with an eye in his chest. The artwork isn't all that impressive, with a literal line for Edward’s mouth. But the overall presentation is good with some novelty, particularly those black arms with hands coming out of his chest and that weird eyeball.

There's not that much personality to Edward here, but the Story score is benefitted by those bizarre elements mentioned above, hinting that there's a darkness within Edward, perhaps trying to escape. Also enhancing the story are the chains surrounding Edward as if he's trying to contain this dark power. As it's been awhile since I've watched FMA, I don't remember anything about this eye, but I'm going on just the cover anyway, and that's the story it suggests to me.
