Akira 35th Anniversary

Box Set
By
Katsuhiro Otomo
Kodansha Comics

Winner of two 2018 Eisner Awards! Reprinted and available


again for a limited time!

An all-new, complete 35th anniversary hardcover box set of one of


the most 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
forever 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 rich and powerful run dangerous
experiments on destructive, supernatural powers that they cannot
control. In 1988, the manga was adapted into what was at the time
the most expensive animated film ever made, which brought Akira's
influence out of the manga world and onto the global stage. Today,
it remains a touchstone for artists, writers, filmmakers, and fans,
retaining all the brutal impact and narrative intensity it had when
Otomo first unleashed it onto the world.
