- 1. Akira: Book 1 (2000)
[9/10]
"I often find the story so compelling that I'm turning pages faster than I can take in the artwork, and have to constantly remind myself to take the time to carefully look at every frame."
- 2. Akira: Book 2 (2001)
[8/10]
"An excellent progression of the storyline and marvelous artwork."
- 3. Akira: Book 3 (2001)
[7/10]
"Otomo continues with the same level of highly detailed artwork."
- 4. Akira: Book 4 (2001)
[7/10]
"A lot happens in Book 4 to move the plot forward, but nothing really gets resolved."
- 5. Akira: Book 5 (2001)
[7/10]
"In several places, Ôtomo describes the psychic abilities as a form of human evolution. It seems odd that human beings would evolve into a form that ultimately would eliminate human personality and place no value on human life."
- 6. Akira: Book 6 (2002)
[8/10]
"Otomo has created an incredible, compelling story that to me defines great manga and provides the epitome of the art form so far."
- Film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo (1988)
[7/10]
"Most viewers who like science fiction should find Akira an accessible story, but I highly recommend reading the six volume graphic novel for a richer, more detailed version of the story."
Average score: 7.57
