Suffering the fate that beset its namesake three decades earlier,
twenty-first-century Neo-Tokyo lies in ruin. Set off by the bullet
of a would-be assassin, the godlike telekinetic fury of the
superhuman child Akira has once again demolished in seconds that
which took decades and untold billions to build. Now cut off from
the rest of the world, the Great Tokyo Empire rises, with Akira its
king, the psychic juggernaut Tetsuo its mad prime minister, and a
growing army of fanatic acolytes ready to go to any length to
please their masters. Forces on the outside still search for a way
to stop Akira, and the answer may lie in the hands of the
mysterious Lady Miyako, a powerful member of Akira's paranormal
brotherhood. But the solution to harnessing Akira may ultimately be
more dangerous than Akira himself.
Twenty years since its original release in Japan, Akira remains one
of the most widely acclaimed and influential works of graphic
fiction, and creator Katsuhiro Otomo has become a legendary
storyteller in animation as well as manga. Akira is a science
fiction tour de force, a breathtaking vision of innocence, infamy,
and insanity.
