This beautiful full colour edition is my first forayinto the mind of Otomo. Reminded me of The Warriors (Sol Yurick). Teenage motorcycle gangs, disruptive in school, going in convoys along disused roads, and fighting rival gangs. This first volume introduces a ghost-like figure of a boy who has the face of an old man who is integral to the story...review continued in volume 2 ( ) In this first volume of series we follow our unlikely hero, Kaneda, trying to figure out what happened to his best friend Tetsuo. Everything starts with Kaneda's motorcycle gang stumbling on a curious short man on the highways of Neo-Tokyo. In an almost deadly collision Tetsuo ends up hurt and picked up by the Emergency Units. Mysterious little man also gets picked up. And thus starts Tetsuo's fall into madness and events are set towards the awakening of the Akira, power source controlled by the army and sought by the unknown, officially marked terrorist organization to whom mysterious Kei belongs (and of course, Kaneda being hot shot, immediately falls for her). Unlike the movie that for my taste was very slow (especially after Ghost in the Shell) manga starts very strong. We get introduced to variety of characters, including Kaneda's group, motorcycle gang from the school for troubled youth, military apparatus that wants to isolate the Akira and build the stronghold int he middle of Neo-Tokyo and ever present politicians. We also see wheels within wheels, army hiding from the parliament details on Akira and political parties wage their own shadow war of dominance. Excellent story and truly amazing art. I started reading Akira through monthly issues almost 20 years ago but unfortunately magazine stopped after 40-odd issues. It was truly a pleasure to read this epic from the beginning. Highly recommended to all fans of SF and psykers-running-wild :) One of the most important mangas to ever be created, Akira Influence thousands of science fiction manga and anime with it’s dark urban future set in neo Tokyo. First in a series of six volumes, Akira tells the tale of the lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, And how their lives change forever when paranormal abilities begins to awaken in Tetsuo, Making him a target for an agency that will stop at nothing to prevent catastrophe. This is a dark and gritty tale Of teenage biking gangs, Teenage rebellion,Corrupt governments, and teenagers struggling with supernatural powers. And It’s one of the most influential cyberpunk stories ever written. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
