"Thoroughly enjoyable"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Loved it and will read it over and over!

"The start of a great story!"
5 stars"

You may have seen the film, but that only scarpes the surface of this saga. More plots, more characters and more ACTION!

The story of a grim and in some ways (maybe not with Akira himself) possible future.

Description

Akira 1 introduces readers to a gritty Neo-Tokyo, built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by a blast of unknown origin that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, making him a target for a shadowy agency that will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like the one that levelled Tokyo. At the core of the agency's motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear of an unthinkable, monstrous power known only as Akira.

Author Biography:

Katsuhiro Otomo is best known as the creator of the three-thousand page epic Akira. He also directed the groundbreaking animated feature film of the same name, as well as the acclaimed animated film, Steamboy. Most recently, he directed the live-action Japanese film, Mushishi.
