Four volumes"
"Set in a dark future timeline, Akira first began publication in 1982 and ran for 120 chapters. Taking place in the post-apocalyptic city of Neo-Tokyo, the series examines the after-effects of a mysterious explosion that almost destroyed the city. Thirty years later, teenage biker gang leader Shotaro Kaneda finds himself in the middle of a plot that involves militant revolutionaries, psychically gifted individuals, military forces, and his childhood friend, Tetsuo Shima, who has begun to develop dangerously destructive psychic powers of his own."
Akira originated as a 1982 manga spanning 120 chapters set in post-apocalyptic Neo-Tokyo, examining consequences of a city-shattering explosion. The narrative follows teenage biker Shotaro Kaneda amid militant revolutionaries, psychically gifted youths, military forces, and his friend Tetsuo Shima, whose developing psychic abilities become dangerously destructive. The 1988 film adaptation raised global awareness for anime but covers only part of the story. A 2025 hardcover edition aims to present Katsuhiro Otomo's complete sci-fi saga authentically across six volumes. Four volumes are currently discounted on Amazon, with volumes five and six available for preorder and a boxed anniversary set offering extras.
