Description

An all-new, complete 35th anniversary hardcover box set of one of the acclaimed and influential comics of all time, with the original Japanese art and right-to-left reading format for the first time! The science fiction epic that changed anime and manga without end is presented in six beautiful hardcover volumes, plus the hardcover Akira Club art book and an exclusive patch with the iconic pill design.

     In 1982, Kodansha published the first chapter of Akira, a dystopian saga set in Neo-Tokyo, a city recovering from thermonuclear attack where the streets have been ceded to motorcycle gangs and the wealthy and powerful run dangerous experiments on destructive, supernatural powers that they cannot regulate. In 1988, the manga was once adapted into what was once on the time the most costly animated film ever made, which brought Akira’s influence out of the manga world and onto the global stage. These days, it remains a touchstone for artists, writers, filmmakers, and fans, retaining the entire brutal affect and narrative intensity it had when Otomo first unleashed it onto the world.

*Box design not final.
