Review: An excellent take, every bit as good as its reputation. - Akira is one of the most loved and talked about Manga masterpieces of all time and one I had often thought of reading. My teenage son becoming a Manga fan finally promoted me to get this and I must admit I am very impressed. The story follows events in Neo Tokyo years after the original Tokyo was destroyed in an apocalyptic event as friends Kenada and Tetsuo are drawn into events leading to the heart of what caused it against the backdrop of gang wars and battles with authority. This really is excellent, excellent and thrilling story which gets better with each volume and excellent artwork. Hugely enjoyable.
Review: A fantastic classic - Mesmerising art and a good read. Crazy story and bizarre characters but brilliant altogether. The book itself is a hefty, glossy-covered book with a few coloured pages to start and then mostly black and white. Although the film shows how good Neo-Tokyo looks in full colour, the quality and detail of the art makes sure this book does not leave you wanting. Bought the first, read it and ordered the other 5 books. Very addictive.
