If you've only seen the film Akira, you really owe it to yourself to read the rich, gorgeously illustrated manga it was based on. This volume explores more of the worldwide consequences of Tetsuo's lust for power.

This part of the Akira story feels very focused in setting up the big finale. There are a lot of moving pieces to this setup and it really feels like all the characters are converging to one point for the end.
