A city once more at risk

In this third volume of Katsuhiro Otomo’s manga, Neo-Tokyo’s recovery from a catastrophic psychic blast is threatened anew after Tetsuo frees Akira, the child whose powers were behind the earlier destruction. The premise brings covert experimentation, paranormal abilities, resistance agents, and government forces into a widening crisis, with the fate of the city—and potentially the world—at stake. Its science-fiction conflict links personal power to the consequences of state secrecy and large-scale destruction.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers interested in science fiction and paranormal powers
  • Readers drawn to stories involving government experiments and resistance
  • Those following the ongoing Akira series

But Tetsuo, an unstable youth with immense paranormal abilities of his own, has done the unthinkable: He has released Akiraand set into motion a chain of events that could once again destroy the city and drag the world to the brink of Armageddon. Resistance agents and an armada of government forces race against the clock to find the child with godlike powers before his unstoppable destructive abilities are unleashed.

One of the true international classics of graphic fiction, Akira has once again taken America by storm.

Akirais a timeless, epic work of unforgettable beauty, horror, and imagination.
