Akira is considered by many to be the greatest work of graphic literature ever produced. It is a bold and stunning epic story with a strong narrative power and remarkable storytelling craftsmanship. Set in the post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo, the lives of two friends who know the streets are forever changed when elemental supernatural abilities awaken in one, who becomes the target of a shadowy government agency.
