Akira Special Edition

Mitsuo Iwata
In 1988, the landmark Anime film AKIRA, by director Katsuhiro
Otomo, defined the cutting edge of Anime around the world. By today's
standards, Akira remains the pinnacle of cel animation and
retains the explosive impact of its highly detailed animation and its
intensely violent saga of power and corruption. Neo-Tokyo has risen
from the ashes of World War III to become a dark and dangerous
megalopolis infested with gangs and terrorists. The government
seethes with corruption and only maintains a token control over the
powerful military that prevents total chaos and hides the secrets of
the past. Childhood friends Tetsuo and Kaneda plunge into Neo-Tokyo's
darkest secret when their motorcycle gang encounters a military
operation to retrieve an escaped experimental subject. Tetsuo,
captured by the military, is subjected to experiments that make him a
powerful psychic, but, unfortunately for Neo-Tokyo, Tetsuo's powers
rage out of control and he lashes out at the world that has oppressed
him! Nothing can stop the destructive forces that Tetsuo wields
except possibly the last boy to destroy Tokyo.

Akira
Vol. 1 by Katsuhiro Otomo Paperback
Katsuhiro Otomo's stunning science-fiction masterpiece, Akira!
Regarded by many as the finest comic series ever produced, Akira is a
bold and breathtaking epic of potent narrative strength and astonishing
illustrative skill. Akira is set in the post-apocalypse Neo-Tokyo of
2019, a vast metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an
apocalyptic blast of unknown power that triggered World War III. The
lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change
forever when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who
becomes a target for a shadowy government operation, a group who will
stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like that which leveled
Tokyo. And at the core of their motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear:
a fear of someone -- or something -- of unthinkably monstrous power
known only as...Akira. And Akira is about to rise! Collected in six
massive volumes, Akira has been reproduced in its original,
black-and-white majesty as never-before-seen in an English-translated
edition. If you love science fiction, manga or comics, Akira is the one
work that must be represented in your collection!
