The most visually stunning comic book I have read in my life
Product Description
From master storyteller Katsuhiro Otomo, Japan's foremost manga maestro, comes the epic work that introduced the West to the artform that is manga - Akira! In the 21st century, the once-glittering Neo-Tokyo lies in ruins, leveled in minutes by the infinite power of the child psychic giant, Akira. In this final volume in the Akira series, Kaneda - former friend of Neo-Tokyo's crazed "Prime Minister", Tetsuo - must stop Tetsuo and his new ally, Akira, before their madness engulfs the entire world. Is this Neo-Tokyo's last stand?
