About the series
Akira, a young woman in a near-future Japan, finds her carefully ordered life upended by an unexpected romance. This two-issue series from Viz explores the collision of personal emotion with a high-tech, possibly dystopian world. The story is a focused character study, offering a quieter, more intimate lens on the kind of setting usually reserved for action and spectacle. It matters as a deliberate, human-scale counterpoint to the epic cyberpunk narratives the property is known for.
