Akira (complete) August 12, 2006

Akira, hands down, is probably one of the greatest, if the greatest, graphic novels ever. It is an amazing, unbelievably-detailed, engrossing, visually stunning, and fantastically written book. One that will stay with you like a great novel does. You can’t help but be drawn into the plot, the characters, the artwork and not be profoundly changed by it. I remember being introduced to it as a teenager and feeling that my life had changed somehow because I’d read Akira.
In the first volume, we get a taste of the genius to come. We get introduced to Kenada, Tetsuo, and the lovely Kai. I’m a big fan of Ryu and you’ve got to love the Colonel.
Read the first volume of Akira. And prepare to be amazed…
Amazon review by Raymond M. Rose “Rainman”
Looke, when posting this on ProjectW, says:
Katsushiro Otomos great novel will explicitly wash away all your prejudices about what manga is.
It tells the story about a Japan after the third world war and the intense struggle for power, all centered around a small boy called Akira, harbouring very special gifts.
Although Akira is the heart of the narrative, one might say he is not the main protagonist and thats perhaps what makes it the story so great
Behind what we’re used to as somewhat stereotyped drawings, lies a set of complex and realistic charachters and a narrative, that once you read it, will create a an unforgettable world of its own.A vision of a future world, that together with other classics like for ex Blade Runner, when it boils down to it, sometimes might tell you something about the human condition.
870 Mb; make sure you’ve got space. It is a continous story that spans 6 volumes. Each containing between 300-400 pages. In English.
