Akira, Vol. 2 Paperback by Katsuhiro Otomo (Author)

I grew up watching Saint Seya and DragonBall Z as anime series but when I saw Akira first time I was blew away how a full on movie like that could take me to the roots of movies, drawings and animation so complex and amazing feelings bringing me back to my childhood so intensely…

Got this book as a gift and now listed to another true collector should have it.

Little short txt from the Author:

“IN THE 21ST CENTURY, Neo-Tokyo has risen from the ashes of a Tokyo obliterated by a monstrous psychokinetic power known only as Akira, a being who yet lives, secretly imprisoned in frozen stasis. Those who stand guard know that Akira's awakening is a terrifying inevitability. Tetsuo, an angry young man with immense—and rapidly growing—psychic abilities, may be their only hope to control Akira when he wakes. But Tetsuo is becoming increasingly unstable and harbors a growing obsession to confront Akira face to face. A clandestine group including his former best friend sets out to destroy Tetsuo before he can release Akira—or before Tetsuo himself becomes so powerful that no force on Earth can stop him.”

An epic masterpiece of graphic fiction and the inspiration for its stunning animated adaptation, Akira is required reading for any enthusiast of science fiction, manga, and the graphic novel.
