| Description: | Akira is set in the post-apocalypse Neo-Tokyo of 2030, a vast metropolis built on the ashes of a Tokyo annihilated by an apocalyptic blast of unknown power that triggered World War III. The lives of two streetwise teenage friends, Tetsuo and Kaneda, change forever when dormant paranormal abilities begin to waken in Tetsuo, who becomes a target for a shadowy government operation, a group who will stop at nothing to prevent another catastrophe like that which leveled Tokyo. And at the core of their motivation is a raw, all-consuming fear: a fear of someone -- or something -- of unthinkably monstrous power known only as...Akira. Won the 8th Kodansha Manga Award for Best General Manga. |

Bought the six volumes for 9$ apiece when they came out in comic bookstores, a few years ago. And yes, the price was justified - they were book-tier thick, not simple mangas (and manga in Italy is quite affordable compared to other countries, except for hentai).
It already has. I won't post links for obvious reasons, but you can find it on bakabt.
Top tier manga. Everyone who loves manga is bound to read this.
this needs to be translated into english
Hands down one of the best mangas ever written.
