Set off by the bullet of a would-be assassin, the godlike telekinetic fury of the superhuman child Akira has once again demolished in seconds that which took decades and untold billions to build. Now cut off from the rest of the world, the Great Tokyo Empire rises, with Akira its king, the psychic juggernaut Tetsuo its mad prime minister, and a growing army of fanatic acolytes ready to go to any length to please their masters. Forces on the outside still search for a way to stop Akira, and the answer may lie in the hands of the mysterious Lady Miyako, a powerful member of Akira's paranormal brotherhood. But the solution to harnessing Akira may ultimately be more dangerous than Akira himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover | \u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 400 | \u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2025-11-25\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kodansha Comics","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47192585994466,"sku":"9781646511372","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0023\/0005\/1501\/files\/9781646511372.jpg?v=1765261462"},{"product_id":"9781646511365","title":"Akira Hardcover Collection 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe epic, timeless hit that inspired the legendary anime film and made the word \"manga\" part of the global vocabulary returns in a new hardcover edition.
