ISBN 1-56639-986-6. Katherine Dacey of MangaBookshelf called Akira one of manga's "greatest sci-fi epics." [75] She also noted how Tetsuo and Kaneda seem like real teenage boys in the manga, not generic action figures like in the film's "grossly" simplified depiction of their relationship. Although stating that Akira 's plot was still as topical as ever in the year 2009, Dacey felt that the art had not aged as gracefully.

In summary, this is a worthy box set to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the manga, and a fantastic upgrade for Otomo Katsuhiro’s magnum opus, and I would highly recommend it to any fan of the manga or anime.
