Akira 5

First off, Akira was one of the first few animes I've ever watched (Hokuto no Ken being one of my top tier favorites) and it's without a doubt a true classic. Secondly, I knew the manga would show at the minimum 50% more than what the original video animation showed and I was VERY satisfied with the original story development and conclusion. Finally, I bought all 6 volumes and it was one of the best purchases I've ever made online. I highly recommended that you own this very unique and awesome manga collection that's easily a top 10 of all time in my opinion. And also, in my opinion, nothing beats Berserk as far as Seinen manga is concerned ;).

Read this book.

I absolutely love this series. I literally reccommend this book series to pretty much EVERYONE. Its wonderful! The characters are so developed and the plot and themes are very intense.

This is a great, stripped down, no frills collection of the penultimate chapter of a solid gold classic.

One of the best Manga ever!

One of my top 5 favorite graphic novels of all time. Absolute page turner. Engrossing story. Beautiful visuals. Must own. No excuses.

A true classic.

Happy I finally got this book in good condition. Been trying to get it for about 9 years now.

This is a great story and the art is very good. I really enjoyed this series when I was younger and it still captured my attention as an older person. I have all of the books from Marvel/epic comics which are colorized. I bought these big books for the nostalgia of the comic and I wanted to see it in black and white and if it was a direct port of the Japanese versions but alas it is still the same mirrored version that Marvel/epic put out in the late 1980s just black and white. The mirrored version has all the drawn panels reversed meaning that characters are holding weapons in their right hand or other items which is somewhat annoying as every one in this story is left handed, that’s also a mistake in my own opinion by the artist/author Katsuhiro Otomo, I’m also not a fan of the black and white as it is hard to truly get a feel of the visualization of this book. Marvel/epic deserve praise for doing a great job colorizing it way back when and it’s very beautiful to read it that way because you actually see the finest details of the drawings. The volume format is beautiful to hold with a smooth hard poster type cover. All in all this is a great book to have.

The second last part of posissbly the greatest manga ever written.The books themselves are of excellent quality.

Akira still remains one of the best cyberpunk media to ever exist. No doubt in that since it's popularity is still high after all these years. The manga came in great condition and is quite big in my opinion. It measures 25.5 cm in length and 17.5 cm in width, bigger than a standard manga. Might be a little hard to carry around but you should go for it.

Obra obligada para cualquier lector serio del comic internacional. Todo un clásico del manga y de la ciencia ficción ciberpunk que nadie debería perderse.

Este excelente mangá veio numa belíssima edição com páginas em preto e branco e as iniciais coloridas. A história é um clássico! Toda a essência da obra de Katsuhiro Otomo presente nesta edição. Perfeito mangá de ficção científica com ação e suspense! Para quem gosta de ação e histórias futuristas é um mangá excelente.
