People who read Akira

i love how detailed the background art is, especially the building where akira was kept... it was like the author drawn out a model of the entire building, every nook and cranny of it before planning out the action in which it would take place. and the romance is honestly pretty good. i love the themes of the rebellious nature of youth vs corrupt govt and humanity vs profound power, what could happen if such immense power was attempted to be tamed by mere humans, and putting it in the hands of children no less... obviously, disastrous results.

Reading Akira was so amazing I’m sooo mad they never had my baby Chiyoko in the movie, like she a DOG. So many things i wish was better in the movie like how apocalyptic shit got, the characters, more detailed info, and mf Akira himself.

no bitches?

I know this is a classic and all, but I didn't like this at all. and even though the artwork is pretty good, the story is just meh. main characters appeared to be one sided and no character development at all. kaneda and tetsuo started off as annoying and ended the same throughout the whole manga, but I liked some characters like kei, and chiyako, even ryu. even the title character akira is boring and he just exists as a plot device, other children are more interesting. maybe I'm just expecting a lot more considering it is called one of the best. It may be influential and even nostalgic for most people but reading it now late, in 2022, just didn't worked for me. If you like post apocalyptic cyberpunk artwork with a lame story then this is for you.

It gave me severe depression but I absolutely love this manga and its iconic animated film. Be warned for disturbing visuals and gore

This manga is ahead of its time.it is telling a very philosophical story only third party can realize which is the reader.

Akira is an excellent manga in the seinen demographic and science fiction and psychological genres. Trust me, you will love it.

«✾(())✾» Akira (1982) by Otomo Katsuhiro - The timeless legendary classic award-winning masterpiece that inspired many works of its genre. Simply unique, breathtaking and mindblowing...reading this was a journey full of emotions! The plot, the setting and its visuals, the characters, the art...everything was perfect! Highly recommended, TOTALLY A MUST READ! No other words needed! And I actually don't need to write anything else to remind myself of this story, because it's truly unforgettable! Its essence and what I felt while reading it will always remain in my memory.
The anime movie, a landmark in Japanese animation, is also great (a timeless favourite of mine and one of the best ever imo), but I also think it's just a taste of Akira. As a lot of things were left out (a great deal of the story actually) and others a little changed (not just in terms of storyline but also some characters and the parts they played in the course of the story), the development and some parts of the story are different. So, to experience Akira at its fullest, the manga is essential.

[[Flipped Translated Publication - Read from Left to Right]] - Note: in the English version the story is set in 2030, but originally it's 2019.
Btw, the fact that we'll have Tokyo 2020 - XXXII Olympic Games is truly amazing!

Anime movie: available at kissanime and also on Netflix.

>> It seems a new anime adaptation is in production!
