Akira

    (Epic, 1988-1992)
™ and ©1989 MASH•ROOM Co., Ltd.

Akira…worshiped by some as a god, feared as a weapon of destruction more powerful than a nuclear bomb…is just a boy. After thirty-eight years of cryogenic sleep, his name has passed into legend.

Tetsuo…the latest child captured by the secret government experiment that created Akira. He is the perfect test subject: an orphan and a member of a local gang. But the experiment unhinges his mind. When Tetsuo discovers that Akira may be more powerful, enraged, he goes in search of the sleeping boy, destroying everything in his path.

Kaneda…the leader of the gang Tetsuo was abducted from. Searching for his missing friend, he becomes enamored of the girl Kay, and follows her into a world of intrigue and rebels. The rebels, the government, Kaneda, and Tetsuo come together to witness the awakening of a legend. Nothing will ever be the same.
