Akira

In the late '80s and early '90s, Glénat brought Katsuhiro Otomo's groundbreaking manga Akira to French readers, serializing the entire epic saga in 31 issues from 1990 to 1992. Set in a post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo, this cyberpunk masterpiece follows biker gangs, psychic children, and government conspiracies as it explores themes of power, corruption, and rebirth. Otomo's kinetic, intricately detailed art and his dense, cinematic storytelling redefined the possibilities of the medium, making Akira a cornerstone of manga's global reach and a defining work of the cyberpunk genre.
