Akira #1

This first volume of the 2004 Dargaud edition of Akira collects the opening chapters of Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark cyberpunk saga, following the teenage biker Kaneda and his friend Tetsuo in a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo after a mysterious psychic awakening. The story begins with a violent encounter that sets off a chain of government conspiracies, underground resistance, and escalating supernatural powers, establishing the dark, sprawling narrative that defined the genre. This edition presents Otomo's original black-and-white artwork in a European album format, offering a fresh translation and restored pages for a new generation of readers.
