Akira, Vol. 6

I love this manga and have all of the volumes. I love the anime as well. This is one of the greatest adult mangas of all time and I consider it and many others a masterpiece. I saw the anime first before I bought all of the volumes. There are 6 volumes if you want to know. The manga is better if you want more story and depth and the artwork is beautiful. You should be able to read through all six volumes in one day, no problem. There isn't much dialogue to read through so you can knock these volumes out with the quickness. All of the artwork tells the story well.

Perfect condition thanks

First off, Akira was one of the first few animes I've ever watched (Hokuto no Ken being one of my top tier favorites) and it's without a doubt a true classic. Secondly, I knew the manga would show at the minimum 50% more than what the original video animation showed and I was VERY satisfied with the original story development and conclusion. Finally, I bought all 6 volumes and it was one of the best purchases I've ever made online. I highly recommended that you own this very unique and awesome manga collection that's easily a top 10 of all time in my opinion. And also, in my opinion, nothing beats Berserk as far as Seinen manga is concerned ;).

I cannot recommend this incredible manga enough. If you dig the movie, which of course you do, this thing will blow you away. Plus it's a really quick read, I knocked out all 6 volumes in about 9 hours, and thats just because I spent a lot of time really enjoying the artwork. I don't know how else to put it, this is a must read. Amazing.

It’s pretty dope

This is an epic manga. If you like sci-fi manga then this really is a must read. It is hard to find however. I don't see all 6 volumes in stores or in any of the many libraries near me. There is always a volume missing.

One of the most influential works in sequential story telling!

The best.

Purchased as a gift for my daughter who loved the series and collects Manga.

If you only read one Manga Akira is THE one to go for. All six volumes are awesome. The amazing detail, flawed characters, the sense of movement in the action and the frankly HUGE story. The anime is a masterpiece but only really scratches the surface really. All six volumes are to be devoured then reread annually! I always get something out of each revisit whether it's just flicking through or reading properly. Otomo is a true auteur. Love it!

Lectura recomendada para los fanáticos del manga de culto. No en todos lados se encuentra su version en ingles. Si eres fanático del manga y el cyberpunk definitivamente esto es para ti.

This is the last volume of this epic saga and guess what, it will give you so many feels when you read through the last of the pages. Although it is said to belong to cyberpunk genre I personally feel, it is much more and vast than the limits cyberpunk mangas reach. It is an amalgamation of sublime gorgeous art and brilliant writing. Akira is a manga that is so hugely influential yet, at this point of time it is not too often credited by the masses which is quite a poor state of affair. Another thing I felt rolling my eyes through each and every page is that the dedication of Katsuhiro Otomo sensei is unquestionable. Most of the contemporary artists wouldn't be able to dedicate themselves into their work so much as this man did. Its a work that is Immortal within the minds of those who read it. The philosophical aspects are of humongous scale and depth. I hardly ever saw this kind of versatility within a single work. Its as if the entire world and its reason of existence and the existence and extinction of life is summarized in concise. It also deals with Birth and death aspect, as to say the cycle of generation and regeneration. Otomo sensei clearly knows how to meet ends. Akira is an icon of several other iconic series. It was the beginning of a great age of innovation. Hats off to Katsuhiro Otomo and of course, AKIRA. It will be always remembered!!!

Edizione minimal ma curata. Bellissima conclusione apocalittica della storia di Akira, dopo aver letto questo lavoro di Otomo sarà difficile trovare qualcosa di altrettanto emozionante e visionario.
