The definitive, complete edition of one of the most acclaimed and influential comics of all time, with the original Japanese art and right-to-left reading format for the first time! The science fiction epic that changed anime and manga forever is presented in six hardcover volumes, plus the hardcover Akira Club art book and an exclusive patch with the iconic pill design.

Winner of two 2018 Eisner Awards! Reprinted and available again for a limited time!

An all-new, complete 35th anniversary hardcover box set of one of the most acclaimed and influential comics of all time, with the original Japanese art and right-to-left reading format for the first time! The science fiction epic that changed anime and manga forever is presented in six beautiful hardcover volumes, plus the hardcover Akira Club art book and an exclusive patch with the iconic pill design.

In 1982, Kodansha published the first chapter of Akira, a dystopian saga set in Neo-Tokyo, a city recovering from thermonuclear attack where the streets have been ceded to motorcycle gangs and the rich and powerful run dangerous experiments on destructive, supernatural powers that they cannot control. In 1988, the manga was adapted into what was at the time the most expensive animated film ever made, which brought Akira's influence out of the manga world and onto the global stage. Today, it remains a touchstone for artists, writers, filmmakers, and fans, retaining all the brutal impact and narrative intensity it had when Otomo first unleashed it onto the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best version of the Akira manga
Reviewed in Australia on 31 March 2022

Whether you're new to Akira, a fan of the film who wants to read the manga, or a long-term diehard, this set is currently the best way to acquire the complete Akira manga series in English. It's great value at the "sale" price of $206 AUD (at time of writing) - though this is also the same price on every website I've looked it. It's listed with a a normal price of $340 AUD, which is still good for what you get if you can afford it - but at that price if all you want to do is read the manga it might be better value to buy the individual paperbacks.

This set comes in a nice sturdy box, the books are all hardcover, and you also get the "Akira Club" book, a collection of title page images (art not directly part of the story) that were in the original 80s manga issues but not in the collected volumes. Akira Club is good but inessential, though not currently sold by itself like the manga volumes are.

Overall, this is a bespoke and ultimate version of the Akira manga - an amazing work of art.

All books came in pristine condition. You get exactly what you want out of what's advertised.

In terms of the actual story. So far it is great as I've just finished the first book. Highly recommend.

He esperado adquirir esta edición de Akira por mucho tiempo, y definitivamente valió la pena.
La caja es preciosa, las ediciones en pasta dura con sobrecubierta son increíbles. El libro de arte es un extra buenísimo.
Tengo dos ediciones de panini en pasta blanda, las del box set son ligeramente más grandes. La diferencia es que está en inglés.
La conseguí por $2,500 pesos. No es mucha diferencia de lo que me hubiera costado el pack de panini. Así que vale completamente la pena.
Estoy muy contenta con esta compra.
