The Akira manga is collected in six beautiful hardcover volumes bundled together with the hardcover Akira Club art book and an exclusive pill patch. Each hardcover book has a revised translation, the original right-to-left reading format, new lettering, and Otomo's original hand-drawn sound effects for that extra visual punch.

While the Akira film adaptation is rightly considered a classic in its own right--and the 4K Blu-ray version happens to be on sale for just $15 (normally $30)--for the full, unabridged Akira experience, you'll want to read the full Akira manga.

If you're a big Akira fan already, you should also check out Akira: Art of Wall, an interesting box set that includes 75-feet worth of scrolls featuring illustrations and text. It's split into three scrolls and also comes with a 52-page hardcover book containing interviews with Katsuhiro Otomo and the designer of this unique release, Kosuke Kawamura. Select dialogue and text from the series accompanies the illustrations, so you can essentially experience the story of Akira all over again, just in a different format.
