alisarae's review against another edition
3.0
For the series as a whole:
I want to read some influential, important manga works, and lots of people recommend Akira. Post-WWIII Tokyo, and multiple factions are struggling for power, information, and a WMD government experiment known as Akira. In theory it’s a cool story, but even while I was reading the penultimate volume 5, I wasn’t eager to make it to the final volume 6. I think there are so many characters that the character development is spread too thin. With the exception of two characters who undergo dramatic changes, we don’t really see any individual progress. It just isn’t the manga for me.

The artwork is amazing and the plot/story is very engaging.
I’ve never seen the movie but will be keen once I finish the books.
I’m hooked.

I liked the plot and setting a lot. The problem for me were the characters, I didn't relate to anyone and at some point stopped caring about them. Related, I had problems recognizing them from one another because of the drawing, so the first half was a little hard to read.
