### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Classic 80s manga, where modern stuff began!
  

*by F***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 April 2022*

I remember seeing Akita on channel 4 (uk tv) waaaaaaay back in something like 1987/8. I remember being utterly blown away that cartoons could be this graphic, and it birthed my fancy Japanese graphic novels and film. In my travels I’ve seen the books, flicked through them from time to time, but never pulled the trigger as it were. Well… I needed something to read whist I recovered from my heart surgery, and why not a blast from my past. If you’ve seen the film, be prepared for a mind flip. It’s completely different. Many characters have been left out and many parts removed entirely. But dear lords and ladies of the aesir and Vanir, it’s AMAZING. I have read many classics. Akita has to be number one,

    My first foray into Manga...
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 March 2014*

I've always been a huge fan of graphic novels/ comics but for one reason or another I've never given any Manga books a chance, and on the strength of Akira this certainly won't be my last.Narratively the book creates a fantastically realised dystopian society and Katshiro Otomo has a superb ability of giving you just enough information to want to want to keep turning the pages but without giving away too much about what is actually going on. It's a very fine balancing act to be able to this but Otomo manages it perfectly. Artistically the book is even better. Within the first few pages you are entirely drawn into the incredible world that has been created.If, like me, you've never read any other Manga before then I would highly recommend this as a good starting point. It's certainly whet my appetite and I will be looking to read many more in this genre.

    An excellent take, every bit as good as its reputation.
  

*by K***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 August 2016*

Akira is one of the most loved and talked about Manga masterpieces of all time and one I had often thought of reading.  My teenage son becoming a Manga fan finally promoted me to get this and I must admit I am very impressed.The story follows events in Neo Tokyo years after the original Tokyo was destroyed in an apocalyptic event as friends Kenada and Tetsuo are drawn into events leading to the heart of what caused it against the backdrop of gang wars and battles with authority.This really is excellent, excellent and thrilling story which gets better with each volume and excellent artwork.  Hugely enjoyable.
