About this Collection

This issue of Marvel's English-language adaptation of Katsuhiro Otomo's landmark manga series continues the high-stakes conflict in a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo, focusing on the escalating military and psychic arms race as rival factions vie for control of the godlike power of Akira. The story delves deeper into the psychological and physical toll on the young psychics, particularly Tetsuo, as his unstable abilities spiral out of control, setting the stage for a devastating confrontation.
