About the series
Akira (2001–2002) from Titan Books is a six-issue comic series that continues the story of the iconic manga and film, exploring the aftermath of the psychic apocalypse in Neo-Tokyo. This limited run, associated with creator Katsuhiro Otomo's original vision, adapts and expands upon the source material for a Western audience. It matters as a key early example of a major manga property receiving a direct, serialized comic adaptation outside Japan, bridging the gap between the film and the broader Akira saga.
